Jackie, the owner, is a wonderful host. Her house is absolutely charming and very well located. The breakfast is actually the greatest one we had in our trip. We highly recommended Ben Chrachan Guesthouse 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Review of Ben Cruachan Guest House
Reviewed Aug 25, 2018
I spent five restful and comfortable days at Ben Cruachan Guest House this month. Ben Cruachan is located in a perfect area of Edinburgh central to good restaurants and excellent city transportation. My room (room 5) is a comfortable double room at the back of the house. Beautifully decorated, quiet, and had a good sized bathroom and shower. It also looked out on Jackie's lovely garden. Your breakfast every morning can range from healthy continental to a mind-blowing feast - it's up to you. Jackie has a vast knowledge of Edinburgh and how to get around. She will make taxi arrangements for you. The best of all is that she will make you feel like a treasured family member. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Ben Cruachan when I return to Scotland.

This guest house is nicely located in walking distance close to the city center. Rooms are rather small, but very clean and beautifully decorated. It’s all a bit smaller than what you get to see in their website but still one of the e better guest houses to stay at in Edinburgh. The owner is very attentive and friendly. As we couldn’t have our breakfast the last day due to an early flight, she even prepared for us very nice sand which bags early in the morning.

Thank you for taking the time to review Ben C. I am thinking if you had an early flight that you would be in the small double room close to the front door to give you easy transportation of your luggage in the wee small hours of the morning ! Our rooms are luxurious, a very good size and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Best wishes, Jackie

Ben Cruachan is a beautiful b&b in the heart of Edinburgh and Jackie, the host, is a pleasure to deal with in all respects. I had to depart early after my second night so she packed me lunch in lieu of missing the serving time for breakfast. Highly recommend!

Stayed here while visiting Edinburgh for the Tattoo. This was our tenth visit to Edinburgh but our first time staying with Jackie at the Ben Cruachan. We can now stop looking as this was just the best by far!!! The rooms were perfect and breakfast was stunning. Jackie is a wonderful host and makes you feel so welcome. We will be back, thank you 😊

This is the place we stayed on our first day in Scotland.
Close enough and far enough form the center of Edinburgh. Rooms very nice, big, comfortable and decorated with great taste.
But the best part of all was Jackie, the owner. Super friendly, extremely nice and even better, a great cook... :-)
It was a real pleasure being able to be in this "house", and we only pity that we had a chance to stay there longer.
If ever we go back to Edinburgh, this will be the place we stay in.
Warmest Regards to Jackie,
João D.
