My father and I stayed at the Kenvie Guest House 2 nights during a week long trip to Scotland. Dorothy Vidler was wonderfully pleasant and accommodating during the reservation process and during our stay. She kindly allowed us to check in early in the morning (right after we'd gotten off the plane in Edinburgh). Though we couldn't get in our... More

My husband and I stayed at Kenvie Guest House for three nights in August 2011 at the beginning of our trip through Scotland. We found it comfortable and pleasant, a great place to come back to each night after the craziness of the Edinburgh tourist scene during the high season. The location is also great -- it's a 20-minute walk... More

My friend and I stayed here for two separate nights and they were very flexible with us on our arrival times. The room was clean and the beds were good. We shared a shower and toilet with other people on the floor and found it clean as well, if not a bit small. Easy to use WiFi. Breakfast was yummy.... More

My family and I recentley stayed at the Kenvie Guesthouse in Edinburgh Scotland. It is a lovely B&B on a quiet street just off Dalkieth Rd. Dorothy is a wonderful host and provides a great breakfast. This was another recommendation from Rick Steves and proved yet again to be a good one. They are very pleasant and accommodating and it... More

After phoning around last minute to find 2 rooms in a B&B in Edinburgh and being turned down by a good 10 beforehand, I was so pleased to talk to the very friendly owner of this B&B. The location was within walking distance of the city center - my parents' slow walk meant it took us about 20 minutes though... More

While this place cannot be faulted on its cleanilness and location regarding peace and quite, yet close to bus routes, there was something fundamentally missing - a genuine feeling that you were actually welcome. We were told that we were welcome but we did not feel it. While I do not like waste, I equally don't like to feel that... More

Thanks Dorothy - What a wonderful place to start your stay Edinburgh - She was so welcoming and knowledgeable of the entire area - and her guest house was in a great location WOW - I wished I could have stayed longer.

I stayed at Kenvie Guest House my last three nights in Scotland. I was on holiday with my nephew. The house was very comfortable and clean and the breakfast was perfect every morning. It was on a quiet side street not far from the Royal Mile. If I ever get back to Edinburgh I wuld most definately stay there again.

The Kenvie Guest House is run by a pleasant, informative woman who clearly takes pride in her service. The rooms, although small by US standards, were average by UK standards. The beds were very comfortable, and since the street that the Kenvie Guest House is on is so quiet at night, we slept long and hard. Breakfast was very good,... More
