I was amazed how clean this place was and also the price was excellent the owner very much hands on and extremely helpful I also witnessed him loading an app on phone for some German tourists to save them a fortune on city transport a colleague had booked in to a major hotel chain and paid £300 for the night and the room was filthy 100%recommend as value for money and how clean it was don’t expect a huge room and breakfast box is basic but at the price plenty money left to eat out

Wonderful quiet and cosy guesthouse, twin suite was ideal for two travellers. Simple but complete breakfast served in the morning to your room. Convenient to get to Cowsgate and central, both very walkable and easy access to get to by bus if travelling with luggage.
