to get started.

The property is beautiful! Our hosts were lovely and extremely helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Heidi, United States of America

This is easily the best B&B I was ever in. The building itself is guite beautiful, with some kind of sunken garden. The rooms were newly renovated and the landlady could not have been more friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and homemade as well. The place is a 10minute bus ride outside the city centre but then there is this beautiful beach 1minute walk away. We really liked it and thinking of coming back during the festival.

Alan, United Kingdom

My husband and I traveled to Edinburgh from the US. This is an amazing B&B. Angela and her husband were so friendly and acomodating, the room was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We woke up to a delicious breakfast every morning. The location is less than a 30 minute bus ride from Edinburgh and a 5 minute walk from the beach and dozens of delicious restaurants. I can't say enough good things about this B&B. I highly recommend a stay here.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Wonderful engaging hostess, comfortable room, and just a block from walking the esplanade along the beautiful Portobello sandy beach.”

John

Canada

“Breakfast was delicious. The couple that run it are lovely, so welcoming, friendly and very accommodating. The room was lovely and cosy, very clean. The area is very nice, some lovely coffee shops, pubs and very close to the beach (5 min walk) excellent value for money. 20 minute bus ride into city centre and you can get unlimited travel bus ticket for £4 an adult. Definitely going back, loved it.”

Laura

United Kingdom

“MY step-mom and I liked being out of city center and in a guest house/b and b setting. The bus into the city was very convenient. WE enjoyed the restaurant suggestions from Angela. SHE was most accommodating and heppful. IT was a very comfortable room to come back to after a busy day. WE felt very safe in the area, walking from bus stop close by to the guesthouse.”

눇The decor is beautifully done and you will feel at ease and at home immediately. Angela and Will were outstanding! I gave 10/10 for location because it is my preference to be out of the city and Portobello beach was such a great place to come at the end of a busy day of exoloration! Allow 20-30 minutes for transit into Edinbrugh. The bus is steps away from the door. Our hosts were incredible - just made us feel so at home. For me, this was probably my favourite place out of the 10 we had during our travels through the UK. I really would have liked to stay here longer! Their front garden would also be lovely for a cup of tea and a good book :)
