Great stay over

Liked: Lovely property. Our host met us and gave valuable information about Edinburgh. Our room was clean and reasonably comfortable. Skylights were great for ventilation. Being right by a bus stop was handy getting into the city centre
Disliked: We were on the top floor in the eaves. Getting up with a suitcase was difficult. Having never stayed in the eaves, we knocked our heads a few times. Not being able to stand in the bath to shower wasn’t that nice

Perfect & comfortable stay

Liked: Exquisite home beautifully decorated & comfortable So lovely to come home to. Cath is a gem. Nothing is too much trouble. You just need to askWe loved our little room at the top of the stairs with a view out over the surrounds & windows you could open. The position is perfect with the bus so handy or even a hire car to enter & exit the city
Disliked: We had been warned by Cath that the room was at the top of the stairs & mistakenly looked at the stairs in the pictures. There was a killer spiral staircase above there. Difficult with luggage but we were helped by 2 lovely girls going up & Cath & her husband coming down. And we still loved that we had this cute attic room

Great Base for Exploring Edinburgh

Liked: This B&B was exactly what we needed for our short stay in Edinburgh. It’s in a nice location, just a short bus ride from the city center, which made getting around really easy.We were grateful to be allowed an early check-in so we could drop off our hire car without any hassle. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable—perfect for a couple of days in the city.Overall, a convenient and pleasant stay. Would definitely recommend!
