When we booked originally, we booked and chose as it was offered as a B&B. The owners changed to a room only where no information was given to Booking.com customers who had already booked. we were not even sent a message from the owners stating this. So for 4 nights, it was pricey for board only (but a day before our journey, I looked at their website online and saw breakfast no longer served, which was by then too late for us. There are places to eat within a 10min walk). The plus was that the room had an amazing view. The room is dated, but comfy, shower hit and miss either burns you or if you lower hot water you get only cold trickling shower. The TV didn't work at all, but we had our ipads to watch an evening movie after all the sightseeing. The mini fridge offered was on but didn't work at all.

Great friendly and helpful owners. Very clean and big property. Excellent location to get around Edinburgh with a bus service on the road. Beautiful views of Arthurs Seat from our room. The shower cubicle is large, room great size for two.

Perfectly clean B&B and very kind owner. The buses to the city centre are right in front of the accomodation. The Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat is close.

There was nothing that required any improvement.

This is a wonderful b&b if you're looking for somewhere to stay. The hosts David and Margaret were lovely, very accommodating really helpful with the little things like bus timetables, places to visit , places to eat. The property was clean and well kept, and our room with the ensuite bathroom was spacious and comfortable, and we were even allowed to bring food back to our room in the evenings. We could have had our room cleaned daily, but we decided to be eco-friendly and opted for using towels, etc, more than once. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked each morning, service was very quick, nothing was too much trouble. A good selection of cereals, fruit, and yoghurt if you wanted something lighter. This place has a real home from home feel, and I would definitely visit again.

The bed was a bit too soft for my taste, otherwise nothing.

The place was beautiful and cozy. We felt very homely there.

I have nothing to complain about.

The Gifford House is very cozy. You quickly feel at home there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. From the Gifford House you can get to the top of Arthur's Seat quite quickly. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes to walk to the city center. However, there is a stop for the Lothian buses in the immediate vicinity of the house. Lines 30 and 33 take you quickly to the center. We will stay at the Gifford House again on our next visit to Edinburgh.

No complaints

The cleanliness was excellent, very clean everywhere. The bedroom we had was a fantastic size, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the bedroom, and our view of Arthur's seat was brilliant. The breakfast was delicious, and the menu caters for all. Thank you to Dave and Margaret for your hospitality.

Absolutely nothing!

Excellent location for a bus or short taxi into Edinburgh. Rooms were fresh, clean and spacious. Beds really comfortable and the breakfast was ten out of ten. You can get anything you want all cooked to order. Absolutely fantastic value for money. Highly recommended.

We were put in a room with one full/double bed and two twins. My husband and I didn’t need so many beds and the one we could sleep in together was a bit cramped.

Breakfast was delicious. The hosts were very sweet and gracious. Rooms were clean and location was great.

The shower could have done with a bit more pressure behind it but was not a major issue still worked as it should

David and Margaret are very friendly and welcoming. This is a lovely clean and cosy guest house with very comfy beds in nice clean and bright rooms. The breakfast is fantastic and sets you up for a day of exploring, the town is a short bus ride away or you can walk it from gifford house with plenty of rest stops for a wee dram on the way.
