Jaspreet United Kingdom

Phil United Kingdom

very peaceful, amazing breakfast choice very good vibe.

Polly United Kingdom

From stepping through the door everything was wonderful. Karen made us so welcome. The room (The David Hume Suite) was beautiful with a lovely large comfy bed. Tea making with fresh milk provided. A large TV. The bathroom was spacious with a great shower. Breakfast was in a beautiful "garden" room very calming. Choices were excellent and the granola with honey Greek yoghurt and fruit delicious. My husband had kippers which were scrumptious. Geoff served us each morning so friendly and welcoming. The location is excellent, outside Edinburgh but with a bus stop outside and only £1.80 each way with a very regular service it only took just over half an hour to reach the centre. Plenty of parking at JustB too. Thank you so much for making this birthday weekend extra special.

Ann United Kingdom

They were very accommodating with my late-ish checkin as my flight was delayed. The room was gorgeous and tastefully and attractively decorated. Comfy bed - just what I needed after 24 hours on planes!

Charlotte Australia

From the moment we arrived we just felt so comfortable and welcome. The room and the surroundings are stunning. The location is fantastic, close to the beautiful peaks but also a short drive into the centre. The hosts are amazing, nothing was too much to ask, they were so warm and welcoming, we wish we had booked for longer.

Rebecca United Kingdom

Everything about JustB was lovely from the area to Karen herself Ample parking in a quiet location 10 minutes drive from Edinburgh. The room was beautifully decorated, large enough to have good space between all 3 of us, with Tea and coffee and a small fridge in the room. It quiet and relaxing around the property, it was very homely and serene. The breakfast was delicious and over delivered on presentation, taste and timing. Karen was an amazing Host & a lovely person herself.

Richard United Kingdom

Breakfasts were delicious, every day we had fruit and yogurt, toast, juice and whatever your ordered . Staff were friendly and gave good suggestions of places to visit. Location was great there was a bus stop just outside the building, the buses came regularly and went straight into Edinburgh, it took about 20/25 minutes. The room was very clean amd nicely arranged.

Laura United Kingdom

Karen was so welcoming and lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Not your normal B & B, the decor made so homely & welcoming. Our room was beautifully decorated & had everything we needed. The breakfast room was stunning with a log burner. Breakfast was made with fresh produce & one of the best breakfasts we have ever had with so much choice. Really convenient for Edinburgh with a local bus running regularly. The young waitress was also welcoming & lovely. We will definitely return to Just B 😊

Maria United Kingdom

The room was great, the jacuzzi, breakfast was really good and the hosts where incredibly nice!

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.
