We enjoyed a two night stay in mid-May this year. This is a most comfortable place and Cathy,our host was so helpful,especially over buses. We will certainly return here on our next visit to Edinburgh. Good evening meals can be enjoyed at the Kildonnan Hotel next door.

Dear Cath Thanks so much for your warm hospitality. We were really touched that you made a special effort to source some gluten free goodies for my husband - who often misses out on nice breads and pastries etc. and the little care package you sent us off with came in very handy when we were hanging around at the...

Lovely bright, quiet room at the back of the house overlooking gardens, with a supremely comfortable bed and a great shower in the en suite. A very warm welcome from Cath, with lots of useful information on getting out and about. The breakfast was beautifully cooked and elegantly served.

Lovely Victorian house with lots of original features. Warm welcome from Cath, who is friendly and helpful. Huge, beautifully furnished room with very comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Convenient location for Edinburgh University. Would definitely stay again.
