Welcoming warm friendly guest house! Lovely breakfasts & very comfortable rooms in an excellent location just a short bus ride into the coty
United KingdomThe property was lovely, it was clean and well furnished. We were served a really good breakfast in the morning. Angela was very knowledgable about buses, restaurants etc. Portobello is just lovely, will definately go back.
United KingdomAbsolute gem of a guest house. Beautiful decor, great hosting from the owners who were very attentive and accommodating. Greats selection of food for breakfast and an ideal location for visiting the city but for those that enjoy a more relaxed environment. Local amenities are excellent. You will not be disappointed staying here.
United KingdomThis is the third year we have stayed at the Abercorn so it is obvious that we like it. The owners are very welcoming with a pot of tea upon arrival. The rooms are large and extremely comfortable. It is on an excellent bus route into Edinburgh which runs every ten minutes so you don't have to worry if you miss one. The breakfast is superb. Cannot fault it.
United KingdomHad an amazing stay. Amazing lady feel like I have made a friend for life . Amazing home . Breakfast was amazing . Please please all visit you won’t want to stay anywhere else . Thankyou so much
United KingdomFood was fab..rooms were excellent beds heating decor..and friendly hosts
United KingdomJust spent 3 nights at Abercorn and can safely say it is our new favourite place to stay in Edinburgh. The house, rooms and breakfast were all amazing but it is the hosts who make Abercorn special. Portobello itself is a lovely area and the buses in Edinburgh are fantastic value and the stop outside takes you directly into the city centre. For any runners the local Park Run is just around the corner. Already looking at dates to come back next year!
United KingdomFantastic stay with my girlfriend although too short, everything we needed, kind, friendly, clean , comfy and massive, tasty breakfast, lovely location with easy parking. Nice walk along the promenade to the Esplanade pub for a late night drink or two, even better walk the next day along the seafront to work off the breakfast lol. Loved the old world feel of the houses and layout of the area. Easy access to centre via bus (every 10 minutes) Definitely would stay again next time in Edinburgh :-)))
United KingdomEverything about our stay was excellent. We would happily return, and recommend this place to anyone.
United KingdomEverything was fabulous! Location, room, breakfast and the kindness of the owner were amazing!
