Cruachan is the war cry of the ancient and royal clan Campbell whose motto reads 'Ne Obliviscaris' (Do Not Forget). You are promised a warm welcome to this very homely, non-smoking guest house in the heart of Edinburgh. A very select breakfast is served in a bright conservatory dining room, which offers full Scottish Breakfast, porridge, local kippers plus a range of homemade salmon fish cakes, tatties, scones and cheese, onion and potato grills. All rooms have central heating, a TV and tea and coffee-making facilities. There is a pay phone for residents' use and a comfortable residents lounge with TV. Cruachan is only a 10-minute walk from Princes Street. Buses frequently pass the front door, and Edinburgh Castle and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) are just a mile away.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

    Great value for money in a city where accommodation seems extraordinarily expensive. There are plenty of buses to the town centre if you can't be bothered to walk and enough restaurants nearby as well. Mobin is an excellent, knowledgeable host,...

    The breakfast was exceptional. Cooked to perfection. The bus stop out the front got you to the sights you need to see. Supermarket in easy walking distance. The host was knowledgeable and nothing was a problem for him.

    Close to everything needed. Clean & tidy. Lovely host who offered an Indian breakfast down the road at the local Indian restaurant. Very good breakfast.
