The Harvest Guest House has been leased out and has rebranded itself the Portobello Guesthouse. We arrived at 5pm as indicated on our reservation form, when it was already dark and very cold, only to find the place empty and no one answering the doorbell or our repeated knocking. Not impressed given we had a 16 month old baby with... More

I stayed at this so called guest house with a group of friends. We were greeted by two young children who looked to be about 5 and 6 who then began to run in and out of the kitchen putting eggs on the table. We were then allocated our rooms where upon 6 women were put in one room together... More

This was a perfectly acceptable hotel for the money. Don't forget, you get what you pay for and it's no good expecting 5-star service for a 1-star price. The room was clean and comfortable. The owner was a lovely man and very attentive and breakfast was good. The Edinburgh bus service is superb - you can get into the centre... More

This was the first stay of our first trip to Scotland and it was most pleasant. Although the weather was stormy, the views of the water and the beach were spectacular. The room and bath were clean and adequate. Breakfast was hot and tasty and the service was very good. Transportation was minutes away. Sadol was a gracious and helpful... More

We chose the Harvest House as we were trying to stay within an under-$100 budget for lodging, a challenge in Scotland (and most of the UK). It was easily accessible by bus from Waverly Station (rail) and the day passes for the buses were wonderful. On arrival we were upgraded to a larger room because we were ahead of season.... More

I was disappointed with this B&B. We were in Edinburgh for the first few days of the festival and wanted somewhere reasonably priced to stay. The Harvest was reasonably priced and clean but is in need of some redecoration. The one thing we were hoping for was a decent Scottish breakfast but the portions were meagre and I swear that...

If you want a cheap stay in Edinburgh - I would recommend here. It's in a quaint area called Portobello which is on the forth coast to the north. The B&B itself was listed as 1* and it does live up to this. The heating was on all night so we were a bit hot in our room. The bed's... More

I don't agree with the other review. This cute B&B is no resort but it is a good value. It isn't the Hilton but I felt safe and clean staying there. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was fantastic. I was very pleased with my stay and would love to go back there again. Portobello is a great... More

Debited our travelling partners credit card £100 when they booked over the phone, and insisted that we too paid in advance on our arrival, another £100. You live and learn. When we saw the rooms they were appalling, they were grubby and cramped, the shared bathroom and toilet was also truly appalling, and we had to put up with hissing... More
