We loved the location in a little village. All staff so friendly and helpful, especially Chris and Ella. Beautiful renovated old Scottish Inn. Towels big and fluffy.

    The guest house was quite cozy and well-kept. It is in a fantastic location and close to the main attractions. Aliya (the host) was highly receptive to my text messages from the beginning of our 3-night stay. She always ensured that we were as comfortable as possible during our stay. Additionally, we tried to make sure not to damage the property and leave it as it was. Overall, it made our trip to Edinburgh memorable and was a really excellent stay. Thank you, Aliya! God bless you💕

    Great accommodation in Edinburgh, just outside the crowded inner city. Though conveniently located and just a 10 minute walk from the tram station and a bus stop almost right in front. The owners Danny and Jasmin take very good care of their guest house, but also of their guests. We could even store our rental bikes indoors, just for safe keeping. For us the guest house was a safe and quiet getaway, and should we revisit Edinburgh we would definitely stay with them again.

    Ali and his wife made us very welcome. They were most pleasant and helpful. The guest house is conveniently located near to the inner city, and there are 2 pubs and a restaurant only minutes away. It is an older building and has steep stairs. The price is very reasonable.

    For the money, this was a really good experience. We particularly liked the approach of the owners to guests having a take away dinner in the evening. Restaurants who deliver were mentioned in a guidance note, and the guest house gave us crockery and allowed us to use the breakfast room to eat. Another good thing was the standard of things like the toilet and shower- really good.

    First of all, the location. In my opinion an ideal location. Close to the centre, where there was access to all attractions and at the same time far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city to be able to enjoy the silence in the guesthouse. Ideal place for families with children. Close to Arthur's seat. I really recommend this guest house. Another advantage is fantastic and friendly staff in the pension.
