Lynn & David are perfect hosts. Room (en suite) is very spacious. We were asked what we would like for breakfast and, when served, it was delicious with orange juice, cereal, fresh fruit and toast. Very central..walked to Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh Castle and Museum. 25k steps..will sleep tonight.
