Good communication, very nice host that was always helpful. Lovely breakfast and the beds are comfy. Beautiful old building, is a nice base to work and explore. Rooms are cleaned every day as well. Would use again when I’m next in Edinburgh. Oh and can’t forget about figgy the beautiful spaniel that wants lots of fuss!

The house is located close to the 44 bus r...
