What a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh! The townhouse is located at the end of a quiet, residential street with easy proximity to the city bus that takes you into the center. …

This was our first visit to Edinburgh and my husband and I were thrilled to land a room in this charming B&B set in a leafy quiet neighborhood, within walking distance from the Castle and also in close proximity to a bus line. …

This is probably one of the prettiest homes I have ever seen! You can see the love and attention Lydie pours into her home as soon as you walk in. Our stay was lovely and Lydie was a kind and gracious host. All of the house rules are very clearly identified and communication was super easy. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed this slightly off the beaten track B&B. It was in an excellent part of Edinburgh in an older history laden building. Owner is very informative and helpful to guide guest to local food and venue options.Pros: good location, accessible transit, plenty of good eateries in the area, quiet, clean property.Cons: some worn edges to the property (carpet) but generally well maintained & clean so is only a nit commentOverall: I would absolutely recommend this property & would give it a 4.75 rating

Fantastic host, lovely room and good value for money! Book here and you'll have much better experience than staying in a hotel in the centre, buses are frequent to the centre and old town or you can walk as its not too far, there is also good cafes and shops nearby too! Thanks Lydie :)
