The property is a calm oasis, with a gorgeous garden and beautiful art pieces from around the world on every floor. The furnishings are very tasteful and enhance the Georgian design. Our breakfasts were a highlight,and some of the best we’ve had. Rowena is a masterful cook and baker (her sourdough homemade bread is addictive). Her husband Tom gave us great suggestions on where to go and eat. We wished we had more time to try everything on his list!

    Beautiful and charming B&B, in the south of Edinburgh. Clean and comfortable rooms, fantastic hosts, excellent breakfast (continental with yoghurt, fresh fruit, toast, pastries, etc) and strong WiFi! You can walk into the city center in about 40 minutes but there are also frequent buses that get you there in a few minutes, would fully recommend. It's also near the hermitage park which is stunning and absolutely worth exploring.
