Within easy walking distance of the center of Edinburgh is a stunning guest house. 23 Mayfield Gardens is an exquisite haven of peace and hospitality run by hosts Ross and Kathleen.. On entry, you are welcomed into the lounge. …

My mom and I stayed at 23 Mayfield on our recent once-in-a-lifetime trip to Scotland. Kathleen and Russ were the most perfect hosts - the room was perfectly accommodating but so so quaint, the guest lounge had the perfect old-school atmosphere, and the dining room was truly perfect. And the food, goodness! The breakfast was delicious every single morning. Truly, when I come back with husband someday, we will absolutely plan the trip around staying at 23 Mayfield!!

We absolutely loved this B&B and can't say enough about Ross and Kathleen's hospitality. Our room was gorgeous, spacious and had everything we could possibly need (including a wonderful magnifying mirror and loose tea/coffee/biscuits). The breakfasts were gourmet and delicious...a different special everyday which we highly recommend. Location was easy for buses as well as walking to the center. If we needed a taxi, we just pressed a button in the main room and it arrived within 5 minutes. There's a help-yourself bar with any type of drink one could desire. 23 Mayfield is the top as far as we're concerned!

We had a wonderful stay at 23 Mayfield! It was cozy, inviting, and luxurious. The breakfast was delicious and one of the best Full Scottish breakfasts we had while in Scotland. Ross and Kathleen gave some fantastic recommendations and could not be more lovely. We cannot wait to come back!

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay during our visit to Edinburgh. We had a comfortable and smartly decorated room on the first floor and enjoyed the luxurious breakfasts. A short walk towards the city proper led us to numerous vintage shops and pubs. Our hosts were fantastic and hospitable. Highly recommend this family operation!

Loved staying at this B&B - Ross and Kathleen were lovely hosts and the breakfasts were delicious and gourmet-level. Their attention to detail is superb with drinks and dishes featuring their own herbs from their garden and their own unique creative twists. You can tell they really love their B&B and enjoy sharing it with their guests. We stayed in the Grand Jacobean bedroom which had a super king four-poster bed and canopy that felt very regal and luxurious. The location is in the quiet neighborhood of Mayfield Gardens, about a 45-minute walk to Old Town or a 10-minute car ride. We also appreciated the free private parking! Such a unique and luxurious stay - can't wait to come back on our next visit!

Beautiful and wonderfully appointed bed and breakfast. Ross and Kathleen have hosting down to a T. From the lounge to breakfast, our stay was amazing. Bed was cozy place to lay our heads after a long day adventuring. …
