Abercorn is a lovely big rambling B&B with spacious light rooms, comfy beds, tasteful decor and good furnishings. You will experience a truly warm and genuine welcome from Angela & family and the breakfasts are excellent and very generous - who says the Scots are mean?

The house is in a good location just east of the city centre and is on a main bus route - 2 minute stroll to the nearest stop. Portobello town centre, swimming pool, beach and promenade are all within a 5 minute stroll, as are a selection of decent pubs and restaurants. All in all Abercorn is a great B&B and an ideal staging post to explore the delights of Edinburgh.

This is a lovely, clean and very welcoming B&B. We arrived after a long flight and settled in very comfortably. Nice location, away from the city but right on the bus line. There are lots of wonderful neigborhood restaurants nearby. Angela and her family are very friendly. We only stayed for 3 nights and wished it could have been longer. We experienced many Scottish B&B's but found this one superior.
Thanks for the wonderful memories. We hope to be back.

Thank you to the people who take the time to review on TripAdvisor!

I planned a trip to Scotland for my elderly parents through the advice of the people at TripAdvisor. You were "spot on" when complimenting Abercorn Guest House. My parents were thoroughly impressed with the host, Angela McDonald, and Abercorn -- and, they have traveled a lot in their long lives.

According to my parents Angela is the consummate host: she is warm and friendly; she anticipates her guests' needs and meets them 100% -- even doing extra touches; the manse is "georgeous," and has a decorator's touch; the beds are comfortable; the rooms are "immaculate" and ultra clean; and, the breakfasts are "splendid."

Without question, Abercorn should be the archetype for all guest houses worldwide! Angela needs to write a book on how to run a guest house!

Abercorn is THE PLACE they would return to when visiting Edinburgh and Portobello. The 100% positive reviews assured me this would be the best (and surprisingly reasonably priced) guest house my parents could stay while in Scotland. Thanks!

Even before we stayed, I phoned to book a room and got such a warm, friendly voice on the phone from Angela. Once, we arrived we were delighted with the very modern rooms and amazing en-suite toilet/shower. YOU MUST CHECK OUT THE COMMUNAL BATHROOM which has the best BATH I have ever seen. And the guest house is facing the sea close to a beach. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT....breakfast. Quite literally, the nicest and tastiest breakfast I have ver had. The scrambled eggs and mushroom plate is laid out in esquisite form.
