My friend and I really enjoyed staying at this guest house. The room was clean and cosy and the owner very friendly and helpful. Some people here on Tripadvisor have written the breakfast is basic, however we actually found it very refreshing with a healthy breakfast with lots of fruit as well as cereal, toast etc.

Elderfields is conveniently located to the Royal Mile. The prices are very good and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Some rooms are smaller than others, but all are just fine for a stay in the city. The guest house is Victorian and very well kept in the period. The breakfast was the biggest let down. Cold pancakes, small portions of fruit, yogurt, cheese, meat and toast were served every morning. Although I have no problem eating these things for breakfast, the quality of the breakfast served was not good. Also, the owner requests payments to be made in cash.

a nice B&B very close to the beautiful Holyrood park and 5-10 minutes walk to the start of the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace. The room was nice and clean. Nothing special but everything was there, the owner friendly and the price reasonable (64 Pound for 2 people). the breakfast was basic, but good.

I stayed at this guesthouse in Febuary with some friends, we were in Edinburgh for a birthday. I can't fault this guesthouse, the rooms were cosy and clean, and it's a beautiful old house full of charm and antique furniture. The owner couldn't have made us more welcome - there was a power cut in the street as we arrived and she went out of her way to deal with the situation. (The power was quickly restored). The breakfast in the morning was delicious and more than we expected at the price we paid.
It's in a good position, especially if you want to walk up Arthurs Seat. I'd definately stay there again.
