Wasn’t too bad but we had a private opposite corridor bathroom. Floorboards creaked and doors loud so was worried I’d wake other rooms up. Need to perhaps upgrade bedspread and cushions as looked old and stained. Breakfast could be changed up as three mornings with green bananas, toast/cheese and condiments a tad much.

Authentic building and close to everything. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room a decent size.

Let’s just say, investing in some new mattresses couldn’t hurt…

Great location! Awesome touch having live Scottish music every night!

I am personally not a fan of carpet in hotel rooms, though everything was clean. But that is my personal opinion.

We had a big cosy room with comfortable beds for 3 in an well kept historical building. Everything was very clean. The staff was always very helpfull und friendly. Breakfast was toast, butter, cheese, jam, 5 kinds of cereal, Milka, tea, coffee, applejuice , fruits and cake. Everything you need to start the day. A busstop is near by, but citycenter is only 15-20 min walk away.

Great location close to bus routes or a 20 min walk to town. Very reasonable.

Sharing a bathroom.

The location was great, close to festival events, meadows, shops and a wide range of restaurants. Live Scottish folks songs in the evening.

Beds were a little uncomfy - I recognise this can be personal choice.

Bedroom kettle was dirty inside; difficult to fill from small sink. Plug on bathroom sink was dirty - quite off putting.

Friendly and very helpful host. Good value accommodation near city centre on good bus route.

It is an old historical house, so it is not very soundproof. I did not have a problem with that because I was out wandering most of the time, but it could be nice to know.

Loved the evening performance with Alan. Went two nights in a row, and the content of the videos/pictures and the songs were different each night. I liked my room and the location.

The live music and storytelling that our host offered every evening was wonderfully charming ! It is a unique place in a great location.

I felt the breakfast options were only fair if not poor. only toast , 4 slices and 4 slices of only one type of cheese available. several cereals and fruit were available however. Some days 3 out of the 5 i was there only marmalade was available, which was unfortunate as I don't like marmalade. Would have like some eggs ,sausages etc but no hot food available.

The staff were very polite and helpful as was the owner Alan.

Breakfast was odd no croissants cakes you would eat at tea time instead. Only apple juice every day.

The entertainment by the owner in the evening was unique, and interesting. The location is good with a bus stop near by.

Breakfast was plentiful but some may think choice is a bit basic. However, you did leave with a full belly :) The bedroom itself and furniture do an acceptable job, but are also a bit dated. Although you could say are in character.

This original character house was well located for a conference at the ECIC and in a quieter road. Staff looked after guests very well and wear traditional Scottish clothing. You got fed well at breakfast. The shared bathroom (in my case) worked out completely fine. And if you need exploring tips, the staff will be happy to advise. Special Note: The owner, Alan, provides a bonus evening musical interlude about 9.30pm each night with accompanying high quality videos of Edinburgh and nearby areas with some additional commentary. Alan is an adept instrument player. The setting is cozy and well worth attending. Don't miss out.

Some small things like uncomfortable beds and a constant smell in the bathroom brought the experience down. Otherwise, supernice.

10/10 for staff, location, breakfast and the room

Stayed in June 2025

It would have been good to know that toiletries were not provided with the room.

The property was in a great location and as we had a rental car, the free parking was the clincher in our decision. The room was simple but clean and well-appointed for the price (no toiletries, lots of towels, coffee and tea with the room). The breakfast was a nice start to the day.

Better sound proofing would be good as it is on a busy street. If guests are sharing a bathroom, it would be good to provide each room with soap.

I loved the music at night, the location, and the character of the home.

Allen's music and video shows were outstanding.
