“This guesthouse struck me as a particularly good option for those wanting a quieter base from which to explore Edinburgh; its location, while not directly in the city centre, still allows for convenient access. I was particularly drawn to the thoughtful touches in the rooms, such as the decor and the provision of snacks, suggesting a real commitment to guest comfort, while the garden area offers a unique, relaxing space.”
