The property is a calm oasis, with a gorgeous garden and beautiful art pieces from around the world on every floor. The furnishings are very tasteful and enhance the Georgian design. Our breakfasts were a highlight,and some of the best we’ve had. Rowena is a masterful cook and baker (her sourdough homemade bread is addictive). Her husband Tom gave us great suggestions on where to go and eat. We wished we had more time to try everything on his list!

Chris and Sinead were incredible hosts and made us feel at home from check-in. The breakfast each morning was something we looked forward to each day. It was restaurant quality (wife asked for a recipe) and the soft background music (personal note here) was spot on. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The property is located near a bus stop, so getting around isn’t an issue. Lastly, it’s a 2 minute (max) skip down to the beach. It’s one block away.

    Beautiful and charming B&B, in the south of Edinburgh. Clean and comfortable rooms, fantastic hosts, excellent breakfast (continental with yoghurt, fresh fruit, toast, pastries, etc) and strong WiFi! You can walk into the city center in about 40 minutes but there are also frequent buses that get you there in a few minutes, would fully recommend. It's also near the hermitage park which is stunning and absolutely worth exploring.
