Our room was very nice with a lovely view, comfortable beds and a clean - though tiny bathroom. Our hosts were very helpful in getting us taxis and any other information we needed and easily accommodated our early departures with an early breakfast. The B& B is only a few blocks from the start of the pathway up to Arthur's... More

Stayed for a week and cannot tell you how wonderful it was. Margaret & David were the most wonderful hosts & the room was great. This was probably the cleanest B&B I've ever stayed at & am planning on returning for another visit. Breakfast was incredible & they even had a box in the room with teas & coffee &... More

Very friendly and helpful welcome from Margaret, and a perfectly located B&B for visiting Edinburgh. The room was clean and warm (especially welcome since it was the coldest weekend ever!) with a tasty breakfast served by David. We had booked a deluxe king room but were slightly disappointed that it seemed to be one of the little side rooms rather... More

We had a great time there, even if not much in the room. Good situation, very close to Arthur's seat, which is definitely a nice little hike to do. Great breakfast in the morning, room was spacious, large choice of dvds, everything you need for your iphone / ipod in the room, nice little box in the bathroom or a... More

We spent 4 nights in December in a beautifully appointed 3-bedroom at Gifford house with all amenities. The place has a lovely atmosphere which is only enhanced by Margret´s and David´s hospitality and warmth. Breakfast offers a good variety including fish, freshly fried eggs, cheeses, cereals, yoghurt ... Even though we had a room facing the main road the location... More

Margaret and David proved to be excellent hosts for my 3 night stay. They were flexible and helpful. I was able to get access to my room early on my first day which enabled me to explore the city. I was visiting Edinburgh along with two colleagues for a development course and Gifford House was a comfortable and welcoming retreat... More

Booked Gifford House from reviews on trip advisor. Margaret & David are friendly hosts.....room was good, bathroom slightly small. Excellent location for us as son competing at Scottish short course National Championships. Would stay here again......Edinburgh has surprised me and I should have visited earlier!!

1 night stay. Hosts very welcoming and our room was perfect with all needs catered for including wifi - the room looked on to arthurs seat. No parking on site but there is free parking round the corner - about a minutes walk away. Great breakfast. Thoroughly recommended.

Good room. Pleasant hosts. Excellent location near Arthur`s seat etc. Decent breakfast. One downer was they failed to replenish tea in our room one evening, not very good that. The rooms are tremendous and really comfortable too.
