This was an overnight stay. The proprietor was very accommodating of my very late arrival. The welcome was inviting and my request of an ironing board and iron at the last minute was no problem. My room was clean, the bathroom spotless. One minor criticism was that the TV lead was a little faulty, but no problem once fiddled with.... more

My wife and I have just had a short break here. Situated in the 'New Town' the first thing of notice in this two hundred year old town house is the impressive stair case.

The Davenport House has a magic all of its own. The room and house is just so beautiful and those gorgeous breakfasts have to be seen to be... more

Davenport House is stylish and well-located, with friendly staff and prices that compare well to other accommodation we looked at in Edinburgh. We stayed in a superior room for four nights and found it comfortable, with thoughtful touches such as provision of a mini fridge and corkscrew/bottle opener. I would have liked a little more choice for the cooked breakfast... more
