This is an easy location to get to on frequent buses from Princes Street / North Bridge / Waverley Station, so is ideal for independent travellers using public transport. The breakfasts provided by Isobel are probably one of the best you could find for choice, quality and quantity. more

This is a great place to stay from which to explore Edinburgh. Service was excellent, and the breakfast was sumptuous! Isobel and Jimmy were warm and welcoming. The room had unexpected treats, like fresh fruit. And it's set in a very charming quiet street, with a beautiful garden. more

One of the nicest places we stayed during a recent 2 week trip to the UK was the Blacket Garden Flat in Edinburgh. Although located a little way from the city center, the bus stop was only one block away and the ride to the Royal Mile only 10 minutes. The neighborhood where the Blacket Garden Flat is situated is... more

Every B and B will give you a bed, somewhere to wash and something to eat. What we loved about Blackett Garden flat most was Isobel and Jimmy, who made us feel so welcome and at home.

A good selection of... more

We took a 2 week trip to the UK recently. From all the places we stayed, Blacket Garden was par excellence. Isobel and her husband are warm, hospitable, helpful, resourceful and very caring. The room was very spacious, with a huge bed making it very comfortable since we had a baby with us. Without us asking, there was a baby... more

My wife and I had just spent 10 days on Shetland & Orkney and decided to complete our holiday with 3 nights in bustling Edinburgh. We stayed in some great guesthouses, but BGF was the best during the whole trip.
