My husband and myself very much enjoyed our two nights here. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by Angela and given a large cafetiere of coffee - much needed after our long drive! The room was large, decor was lovely and the bed comfy. The cooked breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Our hosts really are accomodating- I asked if they... More

This was our second visit to Abercorn. We actually stayed in the same room we had back in 2009. It is a great location, shops across the road and a bus just outside that takes you into Edinburgh city in about 10-15 minutes - perfect location. Angela (the owner) makes you feel like family - such a lovely lady. Rooms... More

We had a great time at the Abercorn Guest House. The rooms were beautiful, elegant and clean. It was very easy to get to the house, the bus leaves just outside the house every 10 minutes. Our host Angela and her family were so friendly, helpful and sweet. The breakfast was great too. Everything was perfect! We would definitely come... More

My wife and I were visiting Edinburgh for the first time and wanted to stay somewhere convenient for, but not in the centre of, Edinburgh. (We were travelling by car to Edinburgh, and did not want the hassle of taking a car into the city centre with all the attendant problems - driving through a busy, unfamiliar city centre, the...

This place is great, the lovely young woman who runs the guest house was attentitive to our every needs. The room (double) was very comfortable and nice. Beds were great. The location is good too, a walk into town, or we could just jump on the bus for a 5 min ride in. A fantastic place!! More

We have just returned from a weekend at the Abercorn Guest House. This was our first time and it will definately not be our last. This Guest House is absolutely fantastic. The decor is exquisite and every attention to detail is thought about. From the moment you enter the house you are made to feel so very special and completely... More

While Google Maps directions will NOT get you here, if you can find your way to Portobello High Street on your own, the Abercorn Guest House is easy to spot. Though "included parking" is not immediately available (you can pull in after you check in), on-street parking was not hard to find even on a Saturday. Our initial reaction to... More

I had very nice stay in Abercorn Guest House, beautiful rooms with comfortable beds and traditional english breakfast family made was great. All people I was traveling with said it was the most tasty meal in England! Place is a little bit outside of the city quiet atmosphere but there is some good restaurants around. This is highly recommended B&B!! More

We spent two nights at this wonderful guest house. The room was very clean, luxurious with lots of space. No rescrictions free parking is available outside of the property. The breakfasts were very good and nothing was too much trouble for Anglea who went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. There is an excellent regular... More

We had a lovely night here. Our room was very spacious with huge bed and a very comfy sofa to curl up on and have a wee cuppa. A very short walk takes you right on to the beach which was perfect to stroll along after a delicious breakfast. More
