Booked this B&B as I loved the deluxe rooms, and wanted something a bit special. Lynne and Franco are a very nice, helpful couple, and the place has a warm, friendly ambience to it. We stayed in the Mackintosh room which we discovered was at the front of the house overlooking the busy main road. The room was lovely, spacious... more

Lovely place, great location, terrific hosts, excellent breakfasts. Next time I'm in Edinburgh the competition won't get a look in. more

My brother and I stayed at Southside Guest House for 3 nights during our Easter holidays and loved every minute of our stay. We read reviews for dozens of B&Bs on the Trip Advisor website before choosing Southside. We knew we wanted to stay somewhere clean, with easy access to the city centre and that served a delicious breakfast. Southside... more

The guest house itself is small, peaceful, in a... more

The hotel is in spotless condition, and my room surpassed my expectation, despite the four star ranking.Much thought has gone into making guests feel very welcome and the food at breakfast was delicious and the... more

After reading the reviews, booked the Southside for a surprise birthday weekend! We were not disappointed, the Southside is one of the best guest houses we have ever stayed in. Franco is so welcoming and runs a very high class B & B with his wife. The breakfasts are also the best ever! 4 poster bedroom was very clean and... more
