“Perfect for our requirement”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We picked this because it was within easy reach of both the city centre and the place we had to go to, and was outside the horrendously-priced city centre parking area. We had a warm welcome from Rosemary and the dogs, the bedroom was very nice and the breakfast was lovely. Rosemary was very helpful with a seemingly comprehensive knowledge of where to go and what to do in the area.

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2010
5
people found this review helpful

Drumfin was the best place to come home to at the end of a busy day wandering Edinburgh or whatever your day includes. Always made to feel at home and warmly greeted by Rosemary whenever we returned. Rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the full breakfasts of choice were authentically homemade. Drumfin is only a10-15 minute casual stroll into Princess St and the Royal Mile and a quick cab ride back. We were staying there late August for the final weekend of the Festival, and Rosemary and her husband were always there to chat upon our return and were genuinely interested in our day - Ginty and Sita were too of course and greeted us like long lost relatives as only puppies can. It is great for location and proximity to the castle and Royal Mile, as well as a convenient place to start any out-of-town excursions. Rosemary is helpful with arrangements and even has the bus tour operators pick you up right at the door. We would recommend Drumfin to anyone that is in need of a great place to stay while in Edinburgh.

“Bad B&B”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Inconvienent location, several miles from downtown and airport. far from restaurants. Tiny rooms. Poor parking on a very busy street. Owner agreed by email prior to stay to accept travel vouchers, then refused when we arrived, and charged my charge card. 30min later, owner decided to accept vouchers, and supposedly refunded my card. Rather inhospitable, would not even suggest restaurants. There are better places to stay.

“Friendly comfortable and convenient B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2010

This is an oasis in a busy city! The bed was comfortable, breakfast excellent, location very convenient and the owner very friendly and helpful. Cannot understand how Chrisden of Syracuse could be so rude - must live on another planet!
Definitely a B & B to revisit!
Many thanks
