An amazing house, my room was beautiful. The bed was amazing and I had a lovely sleep. Breakfast was delicious and so much choice including full on scottish porridge available (cream, honey, whisky not that i had it because i was working). Carole was an amazing host.

This townhome was absolutely perfect in everyway. The decor is stunning and so well done. Carole, our host, was amazing and gave us such great recommendations on places to go and things to see. She was so kind and had great stories to tell. We loved our morning breakfasts overlooking gorgeous gardens and also loved having access to a few sweet treats at night. If we ever go back to Edinburgh, we would absolutely stay here.

Carol is a lovely host! The property was a good walking distance from everything we needed. The favorite part of our visit was meeting Carol and enjoying a wonderful breakfast each morning. We highly recommend the porridge! If we ever get back to Edinburgh, we will certainly book again!

The West End location was so clean and quiet with beautiful architecture and history. Our hostess Carole was so gracious and helpful. She made sure we had all our individual needs met including my special dietary restriction. She even packed a sack breakfast for us to go on our early checkout morning. In our short time we felt like we had become friends, even family. The views of the gardens and green space and beyond from our bedroom were gorgeous. The place so quiet and lovely remodeled. Thank you Carole. Blessings.

Like coming home to family. A magnificent house

Stayed in August 2024

We had an amazing view of the water of leith walkway from the spacious Deluxe King room. The hotel is in a beautifully restored townhouse close to some of the main streets of Edinburgh. Carole was an excellent, friendly, and informative host, and she made us feel at like we were at home our whole stay. We had plenty of breakfast options every morning and Carole herself would make something extra each day. The location is pretty central (only few minutes walk from one of the ends of Princes St), but still distant enough from the bustle to be perfectly quiet in the evening.

Nothing to improve on

The location was beautiful and close to all facilities and things we wanted to see in Edinburgh, bur far enough away to ve peaceful and relaxing

West End Townhouse is a unique experience. You enjoy the intimacy, warmth and privacy of a B&B on the level of a 5-star hotel. Perfectly situated to explore Edinburgh, looked after by Carole more like a friend than a landlady, elegant and comfortable rooms, stunning views … It was the perfect start for our Scotland trip.

The location was great! Parking was an issue but not surprised! The breakfast was good and we enjoyed talking with Ruth and her family.

Everything was perfect.

4 Randolf Ciff is close to the city center, very easily accessible by public transport, but the old town can also be easily reached by pleasant walks. Spacious, comfortable room, beautiful view of the city. Carole and her daughter are very kind and attentive hosts. All our wishes were fulfilled.

Nothing - we loved everything.

We had a wonderful stay in the West End Townhouse! The location is just perfect, everything is within walking distance. The owners keep the charm and character of the residence, but everything is functional, and we had a very nice, modern bathroom. Our spacious room had a wonderful view overlooking beautiful gardens and the firth of forth, and it was absolutely quiet. A fantastic breakfast is served in the beautiful kitchen overlooking the garden and the green valley. The host family is very friendly, and takes great care to ensure that guests feel welcome.

Beautiful spot, with gorgeous decorations and extremely comfortable rooms. My parents stayed here for three nights at the start of their tour around Scotland and loved every moment of their stay. Both Carol and her daughter Ruth looked after them very well. The grandeur of the building is matched only by the incredible views out over Edinburgh!

It was our first trip to Edinburgh, and was lucky to have picked a fabulous property, it was so comfortable, clean, and quiet. It is in a great location to walk to sites and restaurants. The host was very kind, and even gave us a ride to the station when we couldn't find a car to hire.

Everything, this lovely house is absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast is excellent

We loved everything. We live in a city and are used to steep hills and lots of stairs so the lack of a lift was not a concern but if mobility is an issue, be aware that you must carry luggage up several flights.

The home was situated in a lovely, quiet part of town. It was an easy walk to George street for restaurants and shopping. The home is immaculate and while it has been updated, the owners kept the charm and character of the 200 plus year old residence. The host is friendly and takes great care to ensure that guests feel welcome. She serves breakfast in the morning at a lovely table overlooking a beautiful garden. The rooms are quiet and delightfully furnished. There are crisp white linens and fluffy towels - very nice experience.

N/A, read above for things to keep in mind

Carole created the most ideal B&B stay for my friend and I. The B&B room was much larger than any hotel we looked at in the area, and kept much better. Carole also went above and beyond, constantly checking to see how we were doing, worked with us to ensure we were able to travel comfortably, and even packed a HUGE picnic for my friend and I when she found out we were going to the highlands. Lastly the area of the B&B was perfect. A simple walk to the town center, Dean Village, and Stockbridge. TBH - I wondered how the ratings could be so high on this listing, and had some reservations, but by the end of the trip, I understood why. Make sure to check out Basement Gelato, only a couple blocks away! If you are looking for a hotel experience, this is not it, but I will say, as someone who has stayed in many hotels, this was far better. A friend of mine stayed at the Kimpton, which is in the same neighborhood, two weeks before, and her room was a fraction of the size for more money. Things to keep in mind: No takeout food in the rooms, there is a huge/gorgeous kitchen you can use, to ensure the rooms stay clean. If you need extra towels or anything, ask Carole, she is super attentive, but wants you to have privacy so will not come into your room during your stay. This is a property from the 1700s, so there is no elevator, and you use a key for entry and exit to preserve the historic building.

The bed was a bit too soft for me.

Lovely house. Gorgeous view from the dining room.

We liked everything. Our room was up two floors, but we got used to climbing and it was worth for the views. Every place we stayed at during our trip through the UK had very tall and steep stairs, but the ones in the West End Georgian townhouse were wide and comfortable. Even with bad knees we could climb them.

Fantastic host, beautiful restored Georgian home, the best breakfast you could imagine, incredible views over the river and all the way to the sea, central location, extremely clean, a truly luxurious large room and bathroom.

The House is ideally located and is just beautiful. Our room had fabulous views of the city and was luxurious and comfortable. Carole and George were welcoming and friendly, which made the stay even better. It was awesome chatting with Carole in the mornings, getting to know her story and the story of the house a bit better, as well as receiving recommendations on things to do/places to go. The quality of the breakfast was excellent and everything was delicious, including the home made jam!! If I could rate it an 11 I would !! Highly recommended and would love to come back.
