    Breakfast and price/quality (Edinburgh has very expensive options) is important for us so we are super satisfied. Also, walk distance from the beach and city center bus stop available right in front of the house.

    Very good B&B breakfast was first class, Pauling really made us feel at home. Bus stop to centre of town just outside the house, so great in that respect.

    Excellent breakfast. We are vegetarian and Pauline went the extra mile to produce a wonderful cooked breakfast for us. She made us feel welcome, and was very helpful. Comfortable beds. Frequent bus service into the centre of Edinburgh.

It is a French mansard designed house, we have many quirks and surprises and a welcoming environment to make your stay extra special and memorable. Close by is Musselburgh (approx 3 minutes drive) and Holyrood Park is just a 3 minute drive also!
Hi, I'm Pauline and I would love to welcome you to our property. We have been welcoming guests since 1985 since Band Aid would you believe.
