They were a great welcome when we arrived. So helpful and nice. Got information about things we should think about directions and ticket rips. Hiking trip. This was about a 30-minute walk into the old town. 10-15 minutes to a huge green meadow park. There is also a great pub near this accommodation with good prices on both beer and whisky. Drouthy Neebors Great atmosphere when we were there. On the last Friday of every month they have live music there.

One week stay with family. Nice, spacious and clean room, quiet location, about twenty minutes walk from the centre. The owner was very kind and always available, giving us useful advice and information for our stay. The corner with the kettle was replenished every morning with tea, coffee and biscuits. We had a great time, and in the event of a future return to Edinburgh, we will definitely return to the Capital Guest House.
