Great breakfast and very close from shops. If you like to walk it’s 30 min to the train station or down the street for a bus ride.

Around 10 miles east of Edinburgh city centre, the 14th-century castle on Faside Estate provides luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation. It offers free parking and WiFi and continental breakfast served in your room.

It was a great opportunity to stay in a renovated castle, with the use of two floors & the roof top which had excellent views over Edinburgh & Blackness Bay. The 7ft bed was really comfy & basically we had everything we needed including loads of breakfast & lots of hot water for a relaxing bath after a long day. Our hosts Iain & Sue were also lovely and made us feel very welcome indeed.

With free private parking, the Aynetree Guest House is on a main bus route, with excellent direct access to Edinburgh city centre.

This Victorian house is well located for Arthur's Seat and the Palace of Holyrood. It has free WiFi and a garden.

A truly delightful, warm & inviting room in an older home that is decorated exceptionally well! I highly recommend the Aynetree Guest House!

Absolutely best quest house we have stayed in. The host's go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and even did our washing. The cooked breakfast was amazing and the cheese scones to die for. Our room was clean, quiet and had a nice view. Great location and easy to bus into the city.

Interesting surprise with the Scottish breakfast but well worth having. Keeps you going all day long. Ewan and Irene are great hosts and the tales Ewan tells you at breakfast are Interesting and worth listening to. If we come back to Scotland, will definitely try and book in again.

    The cottage is twee however I was expecting that, its charming and in keeping with the period of the property. The garden is indeed beautiful and being in time for the tulips was an extra bonus. Great location for exploring Edinburgh and East Lothian.

    The Ship Inn has been totally transformed. It now provides quiet rooms (amazingly, above a noisy bar) very close to the city centre at a quarter of normal prices. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.
