My 14yr old son and I stayed a weekend at Gerald's Place in June '09. We spent two weeks traveling around the U.K. and Gerald's Place was by far the most comfortable stay we had. Gerald met us at the door with a smile taking the time to show us around even though he was late for a funeral (very... more

We travel a fair amount. Recently spent 3 weeks in the U K--staying exclusively in B + Bs. 5 in all. Without a doubt, Gerald's place in Scotland was our favorite. Gerald is such a warm and generous host. We are trying to figure out a return visit. J + L more

From the moment you arrive, Gerald welcomes you into his home and gives you an overview of everything you need (local attrations, details about the room you are staying in,etc.). Breakfast was great and he had everything you need (eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, fresh fruits, cereals, yogurts, fresh juices, etc.). The location is perfect just a short walk to the... more

My husband and I just returned from a sunny 16 days in Scotland. Our first 6 days we spent at Gerald's Place. From the moment Gerald welcomed us we felt at home. It was our first visit to Edinburgh and Gerald provided us with so much information on places to visit, restaurants and maps,too. Our room was everything that we... more

My husband and I stayed with Gerald for three nights at the end of May, 2009. Before our visit Gerald was very prompt in his correspondence and made himself available for us to consult about what to do in Edinburgh. He made reservations for us to see Mary King's Cross when I inquired about it - even prepaying for our... more

My husband and I spent our first three nights in Scotland at Gerald's Place. He gave us a very warm welcome, and was the perfect host. He recommended excellent restaurants, and placed our reservations. His location is across from a park, and is perfect for walking everywhere in Edinburgh. Breakfast was a delicious treat, and the room came with lots... more

Unfortunately Gerald was very in your face, a real busy body and quite a bore. He has no concept of leaving you to enjoy yourself in peace. Breakfast was fine but nothing special. Similarly the room was clean but the whole place was fairly cramped. Gerald definitely thinks very highly of himself but I would suggest to him to tone... more

When I recently inquired about room availability for an upcoming trip in August, Gerald replied immediately. Even though there was nothing available, he sent my email on to two other Edinburgh agencies which he thought might be able to help me, and in fact I received useful suggestions from both. I hope to stay at Gerald's Place some other time--he's... more

Both me and my wife stayed at Gerard's for 3 nights and it felt like we had a second home away from home during this time. We stayed in a room facing the back of the house and the window was facing another residence. Because of the way houses are sloping in Edinburgh, even though the room was technically in... more
