This 4-star guest house offers full-day security and luggage storage space. The accommodation provides a housekeeping service and private check-in and check-out for guests. The property is a calm oasis, with a gorgeous garden and beautiful art pieces from around the world on every floor. The furnishings are very tasteful and enhance the Georgian design. Our breakfasts were a highlight,and some of the best we’ve had. Rowena is a masterful cook and baker (her sourdough homemade bread is addictive). Her husband Tom gave us great suggestions on where to go and eat. We wished we had more time to try everything on his list!

Straven Guesthouse

Portobello, Edinburgh

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 100 metres from Portobello Beach and 5.7 km from Edinburgh Playhouse. Royal Mile is 5.9 km from the guest house and Edinburgh Waverley station is 6.3 km away. Chris and Sinead were incredible hosts and made us feel at home from check-in. The breakfast each morning was something we looked forward to each day. It was restaurant quality (wife asked for a recipe) and the soft background music (personal note here) was spot on. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The property is located near a bus stop, so getting around isn’t an issue. Lastly, it’s a 2 minute (max) skip down to the beach. It’s one block away.

Whitecroft B&B

Edinburgh

Situated in Edinburgh, within 16 km of Murrayfield Stadium and 16 km of Edinburgh Zoo, Whitecroft B&B features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 18 km from EICC, 19 km from National Museum of Scotland and 19 km from The Real Mary King's Close. Edinburgh Castle is 20 km from the guest house and Hopetoun House is 20 km away. The establishment was quite small - only three rooms - but that only adds to the charm. The rooms are clean, charming, and equipped with everything you might need, with the exception of a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was very clean. The owner was an absolute dream. She was nice and very helpful. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. There is a bus stop two minutes away which is very convenient if you plan to ride the bus into the city center. The fare for a single trip on the bus, since it is a Lothian country bus, is £3 and you must have exact change to buy a ticket on the bus.
