Me and my partner stayed for a few nights and absolutely loved everything about JustB. Really lovely and comfortable studio room with lots of space. Easy access for parking right outside our room was great too. Breakfast is really fabulous, a lot of options to chose from too. Karen and Jeff are so lovely and helpful, such nice friendly people. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Edinburgh! Can’t wait to hopefully come back! Loved it!
United States of AmericaThe breakfast menu was amazing. Everyone is well catered for and our breakfast was delicious. We were able to chat with Karen and Jeff and they advised us on what to do and where to go in the centre.
United KingdomWe chose for distance to the airport. Good parking since we had a car and the bus stop is close, but 50min to the city center. Very good breakfast. River path across the street.
United States of AmericaEverything was perfect and hosts very accommodating.
The owners were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome. They were welcoming and didn't intrude upon the privacy of the stay. The room was spacious and clean, with lovely character. The breakfast was the single best breakfast I've ever had at a hotel or B and B!
United KingdomWe had a fabulous stay at Just B. Karen and Geoff were great hosts and the room was clean and well appointed. I can’t say enough about the amazing breakfast- Wow! We were also given great information regarding things to do and restaurants. I would highly recommend Just B!
United States of AmericaKaren is the best host. We are so happy staying with her. Feel like home here ;) The property is just awesome & Breakfast is super delicious.
ThailandExceptional attention to detail, prepared to go above &beyond to ensure guests have what they need. Location is great, close to Edinburgh,but rural, lovely walk alongside the Waters of Leith is just a few yards across the road.
United KingdomAbsolutely everything so relaxed, spotless, comfortable couldn’t ask for more :)
United KingdomThe 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

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.
