We treated ourselves to a night at the Victorian Townhouse in Edinburgh our last evening in the country and it turned out to be a brilliant idea. Aileen was warm in her welcome and throughout the visit was very attentive. She made sure that we had everything we needed to make this stay pleasant.
The rooms are huge! We stayed in the Caledonian which had a double bed, couch, side chairs, fireplace and table set with a small crytal whiskey decanter and 2 tumblers for our enjoyment. The room was very luxurious! Our bathroom was ensuite and was also very large and fitted out to a high standard. The B&B has 3 rooms. Our travel companions were in the Colonial room and it was fitted out with a double bed and an extra twin. It was also a small suite with couch and attached bathroom. The rooms are on the bottom level and each visitor has a key to enter the property and to their rooms. Breakfast was quite good with the standard Scottish breakfast offered as well as cold cereals and fruits. All in all, we left wishing that we had booked this B&B for a longer stay. It is truly a wonderful example of a fine B&B establishment.

What a wonderful surprise! Aileen was actually watching out the window waiting for our arrival. The rooms were huge (a nice change after London) and each with its own theme and appropriate decor. The rooms could not be faulted in anyway and Aileen's hospitality and real interest in each and every guest was amazing. The breakfast each morning was superb.
We were there with our daughter and son-in-law, and we all can simply not say enough about our stay there.
You cannot go wrong in choosing this B&B for your stay!

This was our first trip to Scotland and our stay for the 2 nights exceeded our expectations. Aileen was a most gracious hostess and made us feel very welcome and at home. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. We have no hesitation in recommending the Victorian Townhouse to any visitor. Aileen you are a star. Many thanks

I have never been to a B&B where the host (Aileen) has made so much effort. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly.

The house is amazing, the rooms are large, huge beds, a sofa, huge bathroom and a huge TV!!

There was a complimentary whisky and chocolates waiting for us every day. Plus very nice tolietries.

Breakfast was great and plentiful.

It is a little over 5 minutes walk to the station (Haymarket).

I have nothing bad to say, it was simply a perfect two night stay!

My husband and I stayed in the Colonial Room, it was absolutely perfect! Crispy, clean sheets and towels, complimentary scotch and friendly service.

The complimentary breakfast was amazing and location was in walking distance to all the sights in-town.

I wish we would have stayed more nights at The Victorian Town House.
