Graham United Kingdom

Stephen United Kingdom

We absolutely loved everything about the stay! The guest house was very easy to find and had sufficient parking space and was within walking distance to the centre of Edinburgh. The room that we stayed in was spacious and clean, and the bed was the best we've ever had in any hotel. The breakfast meal is selected the day/night before from a generous amount of choices out of which I was lucky enough to try a majority and loved every single one! Most importantly the staff/host was incredibly friendly and made the stay an absolute joy, couldn't recommend enough!
