We loved our stay at Botanics Bed & Breakfast. Situated just outside the city centre which is easily accessed by the excellent public transport facilities, it provided a very comfortable and relaxing stay in the midst of the hecticness of the Edinburgh Festival. The facilities were excellent including a homely and spacious kitchen as well as a comfortable sitting room with a quiet secluded garden to the rear. Eleonor could not have been more helpful in her organisation of our stay, including making alternative arrangements to meet us and providing us with further information on the city and advice on what to see in the festival. We would highly recommend this B&B and will be returning for our stay in December.

Having no clue how far the Botanical Gardens were from the city center other than a glimpse at a map I was a bit concerned about transportation around the city. Eleanor, the owner, assured me that there was plenty of mass-transit that would deliver me practically anywhere I wanted to go so I booked and she was not wrong. But really, who needs mass transit??? If you catch a lovely weekend weather wise then walking through the Botanics (with the entrance right across the street) or the Stockbridge area is a wonderful way to start any day of touring. Plus, there are many cafes within a few minutes walk that just scream 'come and sit inside!'
My room was extremely comfy with all types of interesting items from the host's travels. I was also quite happy to be able to have breakfast at my own leisurely pace as opposed to so many places that constrict you to hours that I find far too early when I am on holiday. If you aren't dead set on being in the middle of town but want to be able to get their in no time flat then this place is fab!

It was so peaceful and lovely to stay at Botanics Bed & Breakfast. Eleanor was so helpful and made my stay very comfortable. I loved the fact that this place is within a walking distance from the Edinburgh city centre and just a stone throw away from the Botanical Garden. What a treasure of a place. I went to Scotland to do some walking and Eleanor was very nice in showing me, providing me with books, maps of all the places she had walked herself. I hope to return to Scotland again some day for longer hikes with love ones.

I loved my stay here. It's got a very friendly, homely atmosphere, wonderful decoration, great levels of comfort and a fantastic, quiet location. Very convenient for all the sites of Edinburgh. Highly recommended. I always stay there when I'm in Edinburgh.
