This bed and breakfast facility is centrally located in Edinburgh, as it is only about 30 to 45 minutes' walking time (maximum) from any of the major sites. It is impeccably clean, and the hosts were simply wonderful. The room was of a very good size, and could amply accomodate our family group of 4. Breakfast was extremely good, and... More

I just had a delightful three-day stay at Penny and Richard’s. No. 38 Dublin Street is in a great location – centrally located yet in a quiet, mostly residential area. It is a charming old place that is very comfortably appointed and with all the modern conveniences. I had the front family room with a sitting area all to myself.... More

Smiling faces, excellent breakfast, beautiful spacious room and a crazy little dog! Just perfect! We felt more like staying with friends... We will definately go back... :) p.s: Don't worry about the dog. He is not everywhere. We just saw him and we wanted to meet him... :)

Return trip to No.38 after the refurbishment. Penny and Richard welcomed us back like long lost friends and, like last time, did everything possible to make us feel at home. After eating one of Penny's breakfasts food shouldn't be a problem for the rest of the day. This time we wandered across to Broughton St to eat (2 mins walk)... More

My Mum and I stayed here over the weekend of 10th December so we could do some Xmas shopping in Edinburgh. I have been to Edinburgh numerous times and stayed in a few different places but this was by far the best. Very well located, good value for money, comfortable room (although a bit hot at times and the water... More

I stayed at No 38 for two nights (without my husband), as I was visiting my daughter who is studying at Edinburgh University. My room was very pretty, looking out onto the garden. It was also very quiet, and with a comfortable bed. Since I was travelling on my own, I particularly enjoyed the fact that breakfast was served around... More

My new wife and I booked No.38 B&B as the first stop on our honeymoon trip to the UK and Sweden. On our first day in Edinburgh we were caught in a huge rain storm and got drenched. Penny and her husband Rick were very kind and lent us proper boots and larger umbrellas so that we could enjoy Edinburgh... More

We just finished our stay at Penny's and it was wonderful. To start, the location is fantastic, you never have to be afraid to walk to or from the city centre at any time. Second, the room was very charming and very clean and very cozy. Third, the people, Penny and Richard were very welcoming and very informative. They obviously... More

Unfortunately the Pope decided to meet with the Queen at the same day as we had planned to visit Edinbourgh. Nevertheless, after an hour at the visitor centre, we've got a room at Penny's B&B. The house is beautiful, the room spacious and very clean and Penny was most welcoming and friendly. The rate of £120.00 per night was above... More
