Beautiful property that was very nicely decorated and comfortable. Great location. About 20 min walk to Edinburgh Castle. And 15 min walk to Stockbridge, a cute part of the city. Ruth was super nice and helpful. And she cooked the most delicious breakfast.

Locks on doors are a bit awkward. WiFi patchy at times. And the stairs……….,

Location, size of rooms, comfort and friendly welcoming owners.

Nothing!

Our stay at West End Townhouse was exceptional! Ruth is the consummate host offering an immaculately clean, large and comfortable room and home. The breakfasts she provided were outstanding and included cereals, pastries, fruit, cheese, meats, juice, coffee and made to order eggs and salmon. On our day of departure knowing we wanted to get an early start to our next destination Ruth even packed us a to go bag of pastries, juice and water. The location could not have been better!! The home is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the Castle and High Street but far enough away to avoid the noise and congestion of that area. To give you a sense of distance my wife and I (mid/late 60s) one day very readily walked from the home to an art fair near the castle then proceeded on to hike Arthur's Seat, grabbed a quick bite to eat near Holyrood Palace and then attended the Military Tattoo (outstanding!) after which we had a wonderful charcuterie board at Le Di Vin which is right around the corner from the Townhouse. A long but not overly exhausting day! We've staying at numerous Vrbos, Airbnb's, B&Bs and Inns throughout the states and internationally and this stay ranks up there as the BEST! All in all we very highly recommend staying at the West End Townhouse! A huge thank you and shout out to Ruth and to her husband Murdo!

Excellent breakfast with wonderful host! Just what we needed to set us up for a lovely day with a magnificent view of the city.

The room does have a small wardrobe, but it would benefit from adding a chest of drawers or shelves/cupboard space for other (folded) clothing items. The coffee/tea making facilities which are just outside the room are a nice touch, but we would have preferred if these facilities were inside the room for convenience. These are both very minor points, it's one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in - especially the fabulous bed and shower.

Carole, the owner, made us feel so welcome and ensured that my partner's birthday trip to Scotland was special. The room is enormous, with a very comfortable bed, excellent shower, and amazing views across to Stockbridge and Leith. We've stayed in a lot of places (including some high-end hotels), and it was one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in. The location is perfect, very close to all the attractions of central Edinburgh, yet quiet as it is tucked away - just 5 minutes from the madness of Princes Street. Very handy for Haymarket Station if you fancy a trip to Glasgow, and also convenient for buses to South Queensferry & walks to Stockbridge and Dean Village. A great area of Edinburgh to be in. Carole's breakfasts are a definite highlight, as other reviewers have noted. Freshly cooked, with quality ingredients, and she will ask you in the morning what you fancy for the next day. Carole is also full of recommendations of places to visit in the area. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in Edinburgh. Thank you Carole.

Carole was a very thoughtful and caring host. She helped us with our every need and made us feel completely at ease in Edinburgh. The building itself was amazing, with beautiful large windows and a lovely view of the city. It was easy to tell just how much care was put into decorating it. Thank you Carole for making our stay in Edinburgh much more meaningful. Wishing you the best!

We had a really lovely stay at Carols West end Townhouse. She is a wonderful host to stay with and the breakfast was superb.

Nothing negative

This is a beautiful home very close to the Royal Mile. The view from our 3rd floor room was stunning and so peaceful. Carole's breakfasts were over the top- she'd even ask us the day before what we might like for the following morning. Carole was like a best friend, mother and sister all rolled into one very special woman♥️.

Brilliant location. We were so close to all the sights, shops, bars, Princess Street, and Edinburgh Castle. Carole was an excellent hostess and such a nice lady, and she was happy to help us in any way. Our room was lovely and airy and comfortable. Carole cooked a beautiful personalised breakfast. We so enjoyed our stay and would recommend this wonderful B&B.

Nothing comes to mind!

Delightful breakfast, thoughtful, hot, personal, pressed coffee... all delicious. Wonderful, classic part of town, the West End, that's walkable to just about everything. Here you're staying in a beautifully restored, Georgian townhouse from the 1700s, complete with antiques. Certainly the topper of our 2 weeks. Thank you Carol and George 🧡

Am not able to put our finger on anything we didnt like. Be aware that there is no elevator in the building though.

A place to book if you want the little extra for your stay in Edinburgh. The service you get is above and beond and Carol is the sweetest host. The room we got (she only has three) was spacious and with the most beautiful wiev.
