In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Attentive, personal service — Guests repeatedly mention the hosts' helpfulness—from booking tours to rearranging parking—and the staff's friendly, accommodating manner.
- Hearty breakfasts with choice — A savoury breakfast with both continental and cooked options, served fresh each morning in a cosy dining room with candles lit.
- Garden views and quiet rooms — Several rooms overlook the garden, and guests describe the property as bright, quiet, and peaceful, despite its proximity to the stadium and pubs.
- Convenient for Murrayfield and city access — Within walking distance of Murrayfield Stadium, with a pub and restaurant next door, and a 10-minute drive to Edinburgh Castle.
–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited room count — With only 10 rooms, availability is often tight and the property may feel intimate rather than full-service.
- No on-site parking (except street parking) — Parking is not provided; guests mention free street parking only on weekends, so weekday parking may require payment or searching.
- Pets not allowed — The policy is 'Not allowed', so travellers with pets cannot stay here, despite one guest mentioning dogs (that appears to have been an exception).
- Check-out is early — Check-out is between 06:00 and 10:00, which may be tight for those wanting a leisurely morning.
- Mixed room tidiness feedback — While many guests praise cleanliness, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' rating category scores a 7, suggesting some variability in room upkeep.
