We really enjoyed our stay at the Clarin Guest House. Tidy and well decorated with nice breakfasts. We appreciated the owner getting up early one morning to arrange breakfast as we had booked an early tour - we didn't expect this and it was very kind. The friendly and helpful advice went above and beyond - in our three month... More

We had a shared-bath room, which can sometimes be not so good, but we had no problems. The bedroom, toilet, and shower room were all very clean. Andy greeted us upon arrival and was most helpful with directions and information. Breakfast was wonderful and the room is bright and a nice place to enjoy a morning in Edinburgh! A big... More

Kim and Andy are wonderful hosts. We had a great stay. I actually made a mistake on our arrival and we got to the Clarin a day early... last day of the Tattoo, so of course everywhere was full. Kim helped us to find a hotel about 10 minutes away and at a reasonable price. We were literally searching the... More

Lovely spacious room, very clean and nice brekkie. Great location for the fringe with a bus stop withina minutes walk into town. The matress was a bit uncomfortable and wifi a bit sporadic but otherwise great and would definitely stay again.
