I had an excellent stay. Everything was exceptionally clean, and I was welcomed very warmly upon arrival bit also during my whole stay. Hospitality 10/10. The bed was very comfortable, and all the amenities were great. The breakfast was simple but more than enough to start the day. Overall, a wonderful experience — highly recommended! Location is so close to bus stop if you don't want to take beautiful opportunity of walking to city centre on the Water of Leith Walkway

The House is beautiful and very special. James and Olga are just lovely and so helpful, but let us have enough personal space and privacy. The bed was very comfortable, we slept like babies. We also really enjoyed the delicious breakfast.
