We booked Abercorn as we were attending a wedding in Edinburgh. The hotels in the city were so expensive and car parking was not easily available. Being an avid Trip Advisor reader, we felt sure we would be well looked after at Abercorn. There were a few emails back and to, between Angela and I, all very friendly and welcoming.... More

Beautifully furnished B&B with a wonderful hostess at a great location. We loved the breakfast, the hospitality, and the very quiet location close to Portobello beach. A trip to the city with the bus was simple, parking on the road was easily available and free. We had a beautiful upstairs room with all the amenities you need (and more). Would... More

A 15 minute bus ride outside of Edinburgh, but only a five minute walk to the beach. A stunnning building with very comfortable and spacious rooms. Angela was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble, breakfast was great. Very happy to recommend (and make sure you ask to meet Lilly and Henry)!

We spent 3 nights with Angela at the Abercorn and found the whole experience fantastic. Angela is generous with her time and is obviously passionate about what she does - running a great B & B. The location is close to the ocean with plenty of eating and drinking options and a short bus ride from the centre of Edinboro.... More

Just returned from a short trip to Edinburgh, where my Mum and I stayed at Angela's lovely Abercorn Guest House in Portabello. Angela was welcoming and friendly our rooms were comfy and breakfasts were good too! The Guest House is a short bus ride from Edinburgh's City Centre (number 15 or 26 bus). The seashore is a three minute walk... More

My husband and I stayed here on a trip to see some of the UK and Europe. We booked our stay here because we like to stay at B&B's for the small atmosphere and hospitality, and the reviews on this B&B seemed to fit our taste. Little did we know that when we arrived it would end up being the... More

On arrival we discovered that our booked twin had been replaced by a double and, not having any other room available, Angela immediately offered to ‘rehome’ us at her cost. But, having read the good reviews, we wanted to stay, so she rearranged the furniture and squeezed a camp bed in for us – and gave us a discount. It... More
