Wonderful

Our stay was lovely. It s just 30 min walking from Royal mile or 15 min by bus ( bus stop literally 5 min away). Everything was very clean and well maintained. THE BASKET FILLED WITH SNACK IS SUPER NICE TOUCH( THEY DO IT EVERYDAY)
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Cute small room. the house has thin walls and staff seemed sensitive to normal noise.
I really liked the quieter location of the accomodation, the owners were so friendly, and the breakfast every modning was really good. The rooms were a bit noisy though.
Basically in the middle of Edinburgh. I was travelling solo, so I got a single room. The bathroom was detached, but very nice. The room was small, but adequate. The staff was great, and the morning breakfasts were delicious.
