We always try and stay at the Blacket Garden Flat when we visit Edinburgh. Nothing is too much trouble. The accommodation is 5 star and the little extras in the room - like sweeties, candles and fridge - make us feel so welcome. The breakfast is everything you would expect in Scotland - quality and as much as you can eat.
Thoroughly recommend the Blacket Garden Flat which is a credit to Scotland - Helen Johnstone and Robert Harper

This was the second time my friend and I stayed at Jas and Isobels Blacket Garden Flats, the first time being about 4 years ago. It was excellent then and still is. They are lovely friendly people and the rooms are wonderful, spotlessly clean and warm, with everything you could need, even a little fridge with fresh milk, water and juices, ( which really impressed me because I hate those silly little milk things!) The breakfast was amazing! with a very big choice of home cooked breakfasts as well as your cereal, toast etc.
Its a very short bus ride into the city centre which was £1.10 or you can get a day pass for £2.50. buses came very frequently we were never waiting more than 5 minutes. Isobel obviously knows the area and did recommend places to visit, which we would have missed, so we were pleased about that.
I would recommend at stay here to anyone and everyone you will not be disappointed at all. Go and enjoy!!!!!!!!! :-)

My wife and I stayed at the Blacket Garden Flat for 2 nights. This is the best B&B we have come across from our trips in Europe and UK. The bedroom was clean and very spacious and nicely done with lot of attention to detail. The breakfast was superb!! Isobel took every effort to make sure we have a great time. She even gave us free drinks when we were tired to go out one night : ) Highly recommend the place.

My wife and I recently spent 3 nights in one of the two guest rooms at The Blacket Garden Flat, our stay being part of a two week tour of Scotland. Despite many complimentary reviews the accomodation exceeded our wildest expectations, both in terms of the en-suite room itself but also with regards to the friendliness and kindness of our hosts, Jas and Isobel.

Our en-suite room was incredibably large, almost a studio flat minus the kitchen (although there is a fridge!). It contained many extras including digital TV and DVD player with selction of DVDs, regularly refreshed snack and sweet selections and a spacious lounge area.

Breakfast was exceptional also with a great selection and no shortage of food (something seemingly common to Scotland as a whole) served in a lovely breakfast room brimming with character.

Location of the Blacket Garden Flat is also first class. There are numerous restaurants and shops within a couple of minutes walk whilst the property still resides in a very quiet leafy suburban road. Furthermore, Central Edinburgh such as the Royal Mile is easily walkable, or alternatively, a bus can be caught a couple of minutes away to any of the major attractions.

Finally, as if all of the above is not enough, your hosts, Jas and Isobel, are the nicest couple you could wish to meet. In fact, they are so welcoming it feels like you are leaving part of your family when you do finally depart.

If in Edinburgh we will certainly always look for the Blacket Garden Flat.
