    I guess an upgrade on the shower? It was ok but not powerful enough to wash a head of thick curly hair....haha, so I'm probably moaning about something that wouldn't bother most people x

    Hosts were lovely and welcoming. The room was great.Clean accommodation. Beds were comfortable and an excellent hot breakfast !!! Wonderful xxx definitely recommend.

    The only one minor thing was that the showers were not powerful at all in either room. If had better shower would have been a full 10 :)

    Staff were so friendly. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Very clean, lovely decor and comfortable. Home away from home. Thank you

    Nothing bad at all - I would just mention the stairs, whilst appreciating the age and lay out of the house, the stairs to the top floor were very steep- but this did not limit my enjoyment of the stay at all- just flagging for less mobile folk.

    A truly lovely place to stay, both a home and a guesthouse. The hosts are amazing, friendly and very helpful, the breakfast is truly outstanding (try the tatty scone) the room was stylish and very clean. Great to have free parking too,

    Beautiful old style guesthouse. Charmingly decorated, preserving the histоry of the house, but yet with all the modern conveniences. Warm (a must for Edinburgh!) and comfy rooms. Impeccably clean. Nice breakfast and very nice and helpful owners.

    The small 14 inch Bush TV. An upgrade to Smart TV would work excellent.

    Liked everything except TV was cheap.If TV was smart TV I would rate this hotel 5 star not 4 star. Staff was very friendly. 10 out of 10.

    Everything was great.

    Location was great. You could quickly go to the city centre and walk back. The staff were really nice. As well as the breakfast. We were late for check in times but the lady call and arranged everything for us, so we didn't have any problems. As we were in the city during the weekend we parked on the street just outside the house for free. However there was a free parking at the back if we wanted to use it as well.
