A great palce to stay, friendly and helpful, you will want for very little, 2 min walk to bus to the city and great "kid friendly" or adult restaurants close by. You will definately not be dissapointed.

This is the best guest house I have ever stayed in and will be going back. The whole place is clean and welcoming, even their children say hello and are polite. I would reccomened them to all.
The guest house isn't very far from the town centre and is easily accessable by bus.

Very wonderful hosts, we loved our stay. Defnitally a home away from home. Lovely rooms and common areas as well as the little extras that make ones stay more enjoyable. Just steps away are the promenade, portobello high street and buses that take you directly to princess street.

Next time we are back in Edinburgh we will treat ourselves and stay here again.

"Edinburgh", what a city, its just fabolous, and to make our visit even more enjoyable, was the fact that we stayed in Abercorn Guesthouse, seven nights, which was absolutely magnificent, I couldn't compliment Angela and Willie enough on the warm welcome which we received on our arrival, the support we received while making our reservation with them, directions, bus routes etc, it was superb..!! Food presentation alone was perfect, as we would be quite fussy.. A wide selection of yogurts, fruits, cheeses, cereals, grills etc they catered for each individual needs.. Abercorn Guest house is a short distance out of Edinburgh town, (15 mins) but on the doorstep of the guesthouse you can catch a bus every 10-15mins, which was fantastic, this service was available day and night. Abercorn is located just beside a lovely beach, great for a stroll in the mornings...!! We enjoyed our visit to Edinburgh immensely, and its like all visits, if you have superb accommodation, it makes the visit more enjoyable...!!

Once again, thanks a million for all your help and entertaining while we were on a break to your city.. !! We'll be back...!!!

Highly recommended...

We loved our stay at the Abercorn Guest House!

First of all the location is perfect - just an easy bus ride into the heart of Edinburgh AND a very short walk to a beautiful beach on the North Sea. There are also lots of local restaurants and shops if you don't want to go into the city, and a nice park just across the street from the guest house.

Every inch of the house is warm and inviting and beautifully maintained. Our room was lovely - spacious, comfy and very clean. Each day was started with a large delicious Scottish breakfast in the cheery dining area.

Angela is extremely knowledgeable about the area and had fantastic recommendations for our time in Edinburgh. After our long day exploring the city it was a delight to come back to such comfortable accommodations!

I have stayed in many B&B's in the US and a few in the UK and the Abercorn Guest House and its hosts are absolutely wonderful! I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh and can't wait to return.
