    Great homey experience in Edinburgh!

    We stayed for 3 nights and it was awesome. The owner was super friendly and made the best breakfasts ever! We loved the picnic area outside, perfect for relaxing. The room was comfy and stylish, but it was a bit on the smaller side for my liking.

    great breakfast
    late checkout issue

    Had an awesome trip with my friends! We explored the Royal Mile and stopped at some great local restaurants. The breakfast was a highlight with tons of options. Mirella and Ozzie were incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. Perfect spot for a group getaway!

    The only downside was the late checkout issue. we had late flights but couldn't extend our stay. They do have luggage storage available, which is a plus.

    welcoming hosts
    limited space

    Staying here with 5 teenagers and 2 kids was a blast! The breakfast was exceptional and fully accommodated my large family. We loved how Ollie and Mirela made us feel welcome from check-in with their warm hospitality to enjoying cozy chats over the delicious food each morning.

    My kids wished there was more space for our baggage.

    serene park

    easy strolls to landmarks and serene park views nearby

    The stay was perfect as it was just a short walk to the beautiful Calton Hill and only a 15-minute stroll to the Royal Mile, which made my city explorations absolutely delightful. plus, Ollie and his wife were genuinely accommodating hosts who truly cared about making my visit special.

    delicious breakfast

    Couple’s unforgettable getaway

    The breakfast was phenomenal, seriously. Ollie served us this delicious Scottish breakfast with haggis and buttery pancakes that tasted like perfection. the shower in the room, man, it had this outstanding water pressure that was a great way to recharge after a long day.

    Sure, it wasn’t exactly cheap but honestly, it felt worth every penny.

    A prime choice for an overnight stay in Edinburgh at a reasonable value. I loved the fluffy bedding that made my rest comfortable. Try the porridge at breakfast, it’s a must!

    comforting room
    impressive breakfast
    slightly removed location
    breakfast order misunderstanding
    small room size

    The comfortable king room offered a lovely view of the garden, making it a restful retreat. Impressive was the breakfast selection, featuring traditional Scottish dishes, including porridge topped with whiskey and honey. the location, while slightly quieter, might not be ideal for those seeking immediate access to city buzz. while the staff was friendly, I encountered a misunderstanding regarding my breakfast order.
