The hosts were incredibly welcoming, and really did their best to accommodate our needs (a needy cocker spaniel!) Facilities were excellent, and the breakfasts were outstanding too. We can’t wait for our return stay, this time in the JustB suite, later in November
United KingdomA very warm, welcoming & friendly couple who made you feel relaxed as soon as you walked in. Bedroom was lovely, clean and tidy not a thing out of place. Stunning garden and house. Only 20mins from Edinburgh city centre, which is handy for a wee night in the town. Will defiantly be back to stay.
United KingdomHosts were very accommodating and hospitable. Went over and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Room was beautiful and clean, especially liked the brightness with lots of windows and shutters, dresser and comfortable bed. Outdoor space was unique, quirky with fire pit and jacuzzi was so relaxing. Definitely will be re visiting and would reccomend to stay. Lovely place to unwind and close to Edinburgh city if you should wish to visit shops/bars/entertainment.
United KingdomBreakfast very good would recommend this to everyone at
United KingdomWe loved and enjoyed staying at this beautiful B&B where we were welcomed by Karen and her husband! This was definitely one of the best B&B we stayed at so far.
IrelandHosts were gorgeous, so friendly & knowledgable, they gave us maps & leaflets for things to do while we were there.. Karen & Geoff made us feel so welcome & were so attentive to each guest. Breakfast was lovely, our bedroom was so clean & nicely decorated, we really couldn’t want for more. Location was great.. Balerno was a lovely little village & if the weather was better we’d have definitely walked the trails that Karen recommended, Edinburgh itself was just just a short bus ride (15/20mins). We loved it & will definitely be back in the future.
United KingdomIt’s on a direct bus route for Edinburgh city centre, and the Musselburgh on the coast.
United KingdomKaren is the sweetest lady, so helpful and welcoming! The room was beautiful, the hot tub was incredible, everything was perfect! Breakfast was delicious! Both Karen and Jeff were amazing hosts and we’ll definitely be back soon!
United KingdomJustB was amazing, we loved our stay and couldn't recommend it highly enough!
United KingdomMy partner and I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing stay at this beautiful Bed and Breakfast. The room was so comfortable and clean, with a luxurious bed and also a snuggly day bed next to a window that looked out onto lush green gardens. The atmosphere was so chilled. The hosts Karen and Geoff were wonderful and made us feel very welcomed. Breakfast was scrumptious and so gorgeously presented too; made fresh to order each morning. Balerno is a lovely little village and you can access lots of scenic walks very easily. It's only a bus ride into Edinburgh though and buses come every 10 minutes. We would highly recommend JustB - especially if you are looking for a tranquil break, to recharge your batteries and to get away from a stressful world.

Hello I'm Karen, I have lived in Edinburgh most of my life. Travelled to various places but always came back to Edinburgh. I enjoy meeting people and working in this business suits me perfectly. Meeting people from all over the world without leaving home. Wonderful!
Balerno or gaelic name Ballenoch, meaning farm with the sloe bushes, was first mentioned in written records in the 13th century. It was developed in the 18th century with the growth of snuff, paper and flaxseed and the railway to the city centre was built to carry the freight. Now it's stunning leafy idyll full of walkers, cyclists, horse riders which takes you to the heart of Edinburgh's city centre ,(8 miles), or the Pentland National park where you can enjoy the outdoor pursuits on offer. Rambling, fishing , birdwatching, (we have a stunning heron living on the Water of Leith walkway whose entrance is on our doorstep). There are seven reservoirs with fishing permits available. Swanston Golf Club, Midlothian Ski Centre, boasting the highest dry ski slope in Europe and the Edinburgh International climbing arena a mere 5 minutes drive.
