    This is very subjective, but I didn't really care for the bed its self. I have slept on much worse but I also have slept on better beds. It was definitely the least comfortable of the three beds I slept on during my vacation. I would have liked a firmer mattress that had a little more padding. Again though, mattresses are really a subjective thing, and something that I might find comfortable, someone else would find uncomfortable, so don't let this deter you from staying here.

    I really enjoyed the room, it was very clean on a daily basis and it was really quiet. I enjoyed the shower, it had great pressure. Shirley was a fantastic host, who provided lots of tips for around Edinburgh and she also provided snack in the room on a daily basis. The Scottish Whiskey was also a very nice touch

    The step down to the bathroom was a head-hitting hazard but at least the shower worked well and it meant the bathroom was larger. It was a bit expensive for the location outside the city centre.

    The bed was very comfortable and the decoration was lovely. We were given a taste of scotch in little crystal glasses and some chocolates and granola bars on the first day in a small fridge.

    Just a couple of niggly things for us - kettle didn't fit under the bathroom tap so it was difficult to fill up and due to the way the window opened we got rather hot as air coming in didn't circulate around the room, just behind the blind but overall nothing to dislike.

    Nice, clean comfortable room, serviced daily. Margaret was very attentive, providing a solution to a small issue we had. The little decanter of whisky went down well with hubby too.

    The accomodation was just amazing! The room was big and bright. The owers were so sweet and gave us plenty of recommendations what to do on a weekend in Edinburgh. The location of the house is perfect. It's in between Leith and Edinburgh Center. Within less than 40 minutes of walking you are at Edinburgh Castle (to other parts of the city or the Royal Mile much faster). Also the Tram or busses depart almost directly in front of the door. To the airport it takes you around 50 minutes to 1 hour by bus or tram. For us, that was really convenient! All in all it was a 10/10 for us and we would come back anytime!

    Absolutely nothing…

    Perfectly located, so reasonably priced, superb facilities - all tastefully done with style and panache. Shirley was outstanding, all the top tips worked so well added to the flexibility to leave bags and to delay our checkout. Very much appreciated. We’ll be back for sure - together with my classy new handmade socks from Coburg Art Studios.

    The only negative we had was the shower. The water pressure wasn’t very good. That isn’t a problem if you have short hair but with long hair it was a bit of a problem. Other than that, we had a lovely stay!

    The room was lovely. We had the room on the top floor. The room as spacious and quiet. The bathroom was detached but we didn’t mind it at all. The location was great too, connection to the bus, tram and so much was within walking distance.

    The blinds do not stop the light coming in much! Take a sleep mask if you are sensitive to light in the morning! The en-suite was off the single room, so you had to go through this to access it- not ideal with young adult who sleeps longer than his parents (who have been woke up by the light!) in there! Just to put people in the picture- would have been good to know this in advance!

    Beautiful period property on quiet street with (4 hour paid on-street parking 8.30am- 6.30pm opposite, so possible to park overnight). We had the triple room. Comfy double bed, single bed a bit firm. Bathroom lovely, nice towels! We met Margaret who was very welcoming.

    The comms were a bit tricky and I was hoping to drop my case when I arrived earlier than check-in but no one was answering the phone.

    It’s a beautifully decorated place and the room was lovely with a brand new looking bathroom and an amazing rainfall shower. The thoughtful touches - a wee dram and some chocolates for your arrival - were especially appreciated.

    The room and bathroom were quite small and would probably be unsuitable for a longer stay. An option for breakfast would have been nice, but the tea and coffee supplies were plentiful.

    Margaret made us feel very welcome in her lovely guest house. She was helpful and gave advice on areas to visit etc. The room was small but very clean and nicely decorated, the bathroom was also very small but clean and fine for our short stay. It was a lovely touch that Margaret left snacks and drinks for us in the room! It was a short walk to a bus stop and tram stop.
