Towels were thin. Breakfast was cheap with cereal, little cakes and toast. You would be disappointed if you expected a full cooked breakfast. Not much variety. The host, Alan, did not smile much. Never greeted guests at breakfast and gave the impression that he was not interested.

The room was comfortable with good heating. Quiet

Breakfast is a personal choice. I'm a full English person but we went in knowing that the breakfast is continental in nature. One challenge is that the dining room is not large enough for everybody in the guest house and if you choose a popular time you may have to wait for a table to come free.

Great parking and facilities for a guest house. The staff were all wonderful and very accommodating. The room was lovely with just the sleeping arrangements required. The house is wonderfully old (1700's) and the Scottish music in the evenings is wonderful. The location is within a reasonable walking distance of the old town area of Edinburgh with a wide range of eating choices nearby.

The size of the double bed.

The evening live Scottish music and video show. The friendly staff dressed in kilts. Abundant breakfast (scones, croissants etc).

For the most difficult people, who cannot be easily satisfied, it can be less luxurious than what they may expect. However, it is a true Scottish experience. Some rooms have an outside bathroom. There may be one or a couple of ghosts. Nothing worth of saying no to this place.

The staff is amazingly friendly and ready to help. Breakfast is a little too early but it works. Bathrooms are clean and nice. Bedding can be improved, but it is not at all uncomfortable. The building is indeed historic, from 18th century, without much changes, so you will be living the Outlander experience. The main living room is alive every night with Alan Cran and traditional Scottish music and singing, accompanied by amazing Highlands and Edinburgh images! It is indeed a very nice experience in Edinburgh. Finally, location is superb: 5 minutes from The Meadows, 10 minutes from the Castle. What else do you need? Union Canal for a nice stroll.... 40 seconds walk.

Nothing really, I booked last minute and the room was adequate for my needs

Breakfast was simple but fresh and adequate Songs and videos in the evening were good, I learned of places to visit I didn’t know about. The house was quaint.

I`d have appreciated a bit more choice for breakfast.

Accomodation was as described in the old town of Edinburgh. It was easy to reach the attractions. Breakfast simple but satisfactory. Staff friendly and helpful. The musical evenings were enchanting.

Our room wasn't ready, even though we arrived at the checking in time. Had to leave our bags in the breakfast room as we were told it would be another hour. Was expecting a traditional Scottish breakfast as it was a traditional Scottish B&B but all we got offered was cereal, toast fruit and a few cakes.

Loved the location, hotel lovely and clean. Staff were lovely

Breakfast could include some eggs

The scottish history and songs were great

Breakfast clearly needs improvement. Not very correct to sell a room on ' Breakfast Included' basis and not serve a hot breakfast. No eggs or Bacon or Sausage or hash brown. Nothing. Just rolls , juice and tea/coffee

An efficiently run small BnB . Host on site most of the time . Rooms are small but comfortable . Location was excellent and within 15 minutes walking to everything. Secure parking beside the building but may be limited so do enquire ahead. It was a delight to find a musical performance by the host himself while we were there . Lovely to come back from dinner and sit around hearing him sing and perform. Total delight
