Yes indeed, there is nothing Hyde-like whatever about the marvelous Stevenson House. My partner and I were uplifted in so many ways by our stay here this New Year, and we dream of our return... Our room on the first floor - the very master bedroom of Robert Louis Stevenson's parents - was magical: a four-poster bed, a cathedral-like bathroom... More

I stayed with my extensive family towards the end of August and decided that it was a place to cherish. It almost feels wrong to advertise as I would prefer to keep this gem to myself. However, I couldn't fail to praise this wonderful B&B once I had stayed there. Heritage is evident and Robert Louis Stevenson, former owner of... More

This warm, exuberant family home is one of life's delights: to stay somewhere that enhances your trip and adds to the tales you come home with. Our room was peaceful and a beautiful elegant sanctuary after a day or evening out in the heart of the city while the Festival and the Fringe were on. Breakfast is both relaxed and... More

This is "the" place to stay in Edinburgh. The location is perfect for all your adventures. The rooms are very large and incredibly comfortable. The staff was always available and willing to assist us with our requests. The homes decor is a fascinating and worldwide museum. Our warm, friendly, and informative breakfast chats with Mr. Macfie were one of the... More

The Macfie family offers a very nice B&B accomodation. I felt very much at home, again. Meeting the members of the family at the breakfast table is a very good start in your day. The house is beautiful. To me, it is a treasure, like an island in the New Town sea. (Please excuse this reference to RLS ;-)) I... More

I found the house while looking for Stevenson sites, THEN found it was a B&B, so booked a stay immediately. If you like to move in with a delightful family and be treated as one of them, this is the place. Good food, wine, constant conversations about books and authors. We exchanged books and tips. My friends joined us for... More
