Warm Scottish hospitality is guaranteed with an abundance of local knowledge for guests to take advantage of. The building is 150+ years old from the Victorian era and offers clean spacious rooms which is evident from the extensive positive feedback. One of the rooms has a glorious view of Arthur Seat. On street parking is available.

I have been married for 30 years and both our interests is getting our bed & breakfast to the best that we can, we have 3 children all boys !!!!!! my eldest son has his own business plumber he is 30 years old , the other 2 sons are 25 they are twins one is a joiner and the other has his own removal company
Beautifully located on the outskirts of the city centre in a quiet safe neighbourhood. A 5 minute walk will take you to an upmarket seaside town called Portobello which boasts a lovely beach with a friendly environment and all the local amenities you would expect (bars, restaurants, shops etc). A 20 minute walk will take you into the Edinburgh city centre. Don't feel like walking, then the great public bus system will take you there in 10. Buses are available near the property with buses running frequently all day and through the night.
