We were delighted to meet Maureen, and even now about 3 weeks later we still remember the warmth and friendliness of Maureen. This was one of the best in our month of BnBs and hotels. It was a relief to find that breakfast was NOT cooked (how much black pudding can one eat day after day) but fully continental...great choices... More

Maureen's B&B is the best one I have ever stayed in. The house was clean and spacious. The garden looks charming. Although the railway passes at the end of the garden, this is no bother at all since the noise is very little. Our room came with an en-suite bathroom which was small but sufficient. Nicely decorated, and it had... More

I am so late in posting this review, so my apologies to Maureen. We loved it. The location was in a quiet residential area but near enough to Holyrood and the Royal Mile one could walk it. There is a bus line near by and an excellent Chinese restaurant (I'm sorry I don't recall the name). There was also a... More

Great value. Bathrooms recently remodeled with modern fittings. Very nice bathrobes provided. House kept in immaculate condition. Living room/common area was very nice. Breakfast served with a beautiful mix of Bach and Handel in the backround. Fast wireless internet. Inn keeper is as dear and fastidious a person as one can hope to find. Located within a five minute walk... More

Having had poor experiences with Edinburgh B&Bs previously, we looked for somewhere convenient (we were visiting family) with car parking. Elderfields was close to our family's flat, near Holyrood park, and all the reviews said it was clean - a very important consideration! First impressions could give cause for concern as the hallway is rather cold, dark and old-fashioned. However... More

Thank you very much for your kindness, Maureen. The room we had was big enough for us and really clean and also in the morning we woke up, we saw one squirrel in the garden! The breakfast we had was very nice, too. we could spend calm and lovely time in great atmosphere. When I arrived at this B&B, it... More

My friend and I really enjoyed staying at this guest house. The room was clean and cosy and the owner very friendly and helpful. Some people here on Tripadvisor have written the breakfast is basic, however we actually found it very refreshing with a healthy breakfast with lots of fruit as well as cereal, toast etc. More

Elderfields is conveniently located to the Royal Mile. The prices are very good and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Some rooms are smaller than others, but all are just fine for a stay in the city. The guest house is Victorian and very well kept in the period. The breakfast was the biggest let down. Cold pancakes, small portions... More

a nice B&B very close to the beautiful Holyrood park and 5-10 minutes walk to the start of the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace. The room was nice and clean. Nothing special but everything was there, the owner friendly and the price reasonable (64 Pound for 2 people). the breakfast was basic, but good. More

I stayed at this guesthouse in Febuary with some friends, we were in Edinburgh for a birthday. I can't fault this guesthouse, the rooms were cosy and clean, and it's a beautiful old house full of charm and antique furniture. The owner couldn't have made us more welcome - there was a power cut in the street as we arrived... More
