This B&B was well positioned below the Castle and adjacent to the main park. The breakfasts were excellent and the hosts quite a delight. Wish we could have spent a week there instead of just three days!

What a gorgeous place to stay. We were there for our wedding anniversary last year. The room was beautiful. The best part though were the hosts. They greeted us as though we were old friends that they had waited in for. Lovely company, fascinating to talk to and very welcoming. And the breakfast is really special. Hopefully we'll go back...

The B&B is ideally located for exploring Edinburgh, with the major attractions being well accessible on foot. This is important in Edinburgh, as the city is quite car-averse. The building is located in a quiet side street and is lovingly furnished in Victorian period pieces. The creatively designed and very well prepared breakfast - every day another choice - are... More

This is a wonderful place to stay. An apartment, the second of several set in a Georgian building on Cambridge street, is located just off castle terrace with Edinburgh castle towering high above you. The room designs, are reminiscent of its Victorian past with a strong French influence provided by the owners - Erlend & Helene Clouston which takes you... More

We stayed in this lovely place just 3 weeks ago. I have to say, I have never stayed in a bed and breakfast before so I was not sure what to expect. My mother in-law showed us a very funny and quirky video the owner Erland had made about the place and I was impressed. We arrived at 2 cambridge,... More

We began planning our first overseas trip in the fall of 2011. I saw some reviews of 2 Cambridge Street and immediately sent an email. I got a prompt email back, convincing me this was the place to stay. The reservation system was based on total trust, and the promise that if we needed to cancel, we would do it... More

Erlend was good enough to collect us from the railway station. We had a very pleasant 2 night stay. I particularly enjoyed the many objets d'art, and weird doohickies. Number 2 was a perfect base for exploring "tourist" Edinburgh. Breakfast was a beautifully presented fine dining experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recomend this b and b to family and friends.

We stayed for one night while attending the Royal Highland Show. We found our hosts to be very warm and engaging. They were helpful and practical with regard to queries re local restaurant recommendations as well as local transport. Their accommodation is most unusual, quirky and original. The bedroom was atmospheric and will definitely be remembered for evoking a different... More

As everyone else has said - interesting and quirky rooms, great and amiable hosts, superb breakfasts and a wonderful location. Convenient for Princes St, castle, old town, theatres and cinema. We will be back, hopefully for longer.

An enjoyable 2 night stay. Great breakfasts. Only issues are not in Erlend's control.....Parking. $85 for two days was unexpected and TV in the rooms would be good.. Still a good stay.
