This is a wonderful place to stay in Edinburgh. The hosts are friendly, lovely, accommodating people. The room was lovely, well kept. Food wonderful. Bus stops to and from the city center just a few paces from the front door. If you are going to Edinburgh check out the Lindsay. Five stars as far as we are concerned. More

After warm recommendation from friends I was lucky enough to be able to stay for two nights at the Lindsay Guest House. My room was large and comfortable with all the helpful additions - TV/tea/coffee making; hair-dryer/toileteries - one would need. Everywhere was immaculately clean and well-cared for. Although the Guest House is on a main road there is excellent... More

Keith, the witty and sometimes humorous owner of the Lindsay Guest House, was helpful during my 3-night stay at the property with directions to places of interest in Edinburgh and such. He "may" seem intimidating upon first impression (well, at least to me initially), but once you get to talk with him you'll find him as quite a friendly and... More

We had a very nice stay at the Lindsay Guest House. Keith and Pamela were very helpful, we contacted them before our stay and they gave us very useful information, which saved us money and time. They were very quick in their response. The bus stop for downtown is just outside of their very nice home. More

Everything about the guest house was 5 star. The breakfasts were plentiful- so much that we didn't want lunch which saved us money. I even like the haggis but loved the potato waffles!The room was huge, clean, & well-supplied with tea, coffee, cookies (biscuits) & candy (sweets). Keith was very helpful when it came to figuring out the buses all... More

My new husband and I are Canadian and we stayed at the Lindsay Guest House at the end of August during the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. The place was absolutely lovely! Our room was very spacious and beautifully decorated and the breakfasts were to die for - especially the haggis :) It was a quick 25 minute walk to the... More

Excellent B&B close to the city centre with only a 15min bus ride, friendly run, good breakfast and very large rooms, plus we enjoyed visiting the city centre to include Castle and royal mile. would look at no other B&B if and when we returned. More

My friend booked this guest house for us to stay at while we were in Edinburgh for a conference. The booking process went well. We arrived to find the room a tad tired and dated. Unfortunately the whole house smells of damp including the bedroom that we had. Of concern the bed room window was locked and we weren't give... More

It is very saddening to receive a review of this nature. If the whole house smells of damp we must have a serious problem. One which other guests fail to detect. I too would be concerned if the bedroom window did not open. The person who booked arrived before the reviewer and I explained to her where the hairdryer was,... More

Stayed here for the tattoo weekend. Lovely clean rooms, with very good breakfast, including haggis on the first day, but unfortunatey not available on the second day. the bedrooms are a tad old fashioned with large heavy throws that were discarded for the nights, quilts would much improve the sleeping conditions. the guest house is a steady half hour walk...

Lovely helpful hosts, comfortable beds, very modern bathroom, excellent breakfast and a good location - Highly recommended. The walk into the City along the canal is a highlight and a real pleasure. If you are not into walking then there is a bus stop outside and the City buses are very effiocient. The room price was not cheap but given... More
