Breakfast choices excel with options like haggis, fruits, and a full Scottish fry-up. The bedroom provides a comfortable feel with everything required for a solo traveler.
A 15 to 20 minute walk to the city center can be a stretch for some. Despite the proximity to bus stops, the location lacks immediate attractions and the surrounding area feels a bit uninspiring.

Here’s why it’s a mixed review
The welcoming atmosphere made me feel at home. Breakfast choices were diverse and delicious, particularly the full Scottish option.
Room size was an issue, especially in the basement where space felt cramped. Cleaning standards were lacking with dirty towels.

Our family absolutely loved the variety of breakfast choices! The kids were thrilled with the full Scottish breakfast, and I appreciated having fresh fruit available. We felt at home during our stay and found the location convenient for our day trips in Edinburgh.
My kids wished for more space to play around.
