Castle Park Guest House - A Victorian family-run EDI hotel with eco-friendly amenities and homemade breakfast

Located in a Victorian townhouse 0.5 miles from Edinburgh Castle, Castle Park Guest House offers seven individually designed rooms across two floors. Each accommodation features en-suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities with complimentary water in reusable glass bottles. The property runs on solar panels and uses energy-efficient appliances throughout. Guests receive a freshly prepared breakfast featuring homemade bread and locally sourced ingredients, served between 8:00-9:30 AM in the front dining room. Castle Park's central position places it 1968.5 ft from the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and within walking distance of the Royal Mile, Scottish National War Memorial, and Scottish National Gallery. Bus stops outside provide direct access to key attractions, while Edinburgh Airport is 6 miles away.

Pros

Homemade bread and traditional Scottish breakfast with vegan/vegetarian options

“Staying here feels like discovering a well-kept secret; the Victorian townhouse blends seamlessly with modern comforts, and the personalized service from the hosts truly sets it apart. I especially appreciate its location in the Bruntsfield area, a refreshing escape from the typical tourist bustle, complete with unique shops and a village-like atmosphere. A genuine Edinburgh experience that I would recommend.”
