Mexico What a treat. We cannot wait to come back.
We stayed here in July. Well organized. Clean, sufficient tea and coffee in room. Handy for bus to city center. Plenty of car parking space, enough for a large trailer as well. As previous guests have said, Margaret is an attentive and knowledgeable host.
Japan Here again for the 10th visit. Absolutely delightful.
Australia A great B&B! Margaret is a very attentive hostess who is able to assist with local information. My next visit will be my fourth. Margaret soon becomes a friend. One of the best B&B’s I’ve ever stayed in.
Australia We spent all day looking for that gem and finally found one. Margaret was very pleasant and the food and hospitality was fantastic and the Scottish tartan room was beautiful. Only 10-15 minutes by bus to the centre and Edinburgh Castle. No walking for the bus as the bus stop is by the B&B.
Sweden Tack for en vunderbar vistelse, ett fantastiskt fint rum och tyst och lugnt om natten. Har sover man battre an hemma. Tack ocksa for ett mycket vanligt bemotande och den fina servicen. Margaret, du ar en underbar manniska
New Zealand We come from Dunedin which is often referred to as the Edinburgh of the South so it was great to see the actual Edinburgh. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
This is the B&B in Edinburgh to go to.
Margaret is a friendly welcoming hostess who makes superb appetising breakfasts. It has attractive homely rooms with tea/coffee making facilities,and there are very pretty gardens outside.Close to bus services and shops,the White House also has good parking facilities.We have stayed several times now and always feel very ‘at home’ there.
Il b&b è veramente bello e molto caratteristico, si tratta di una tipica villetta in perfetto stile scozzese, situata in un quartiere residenziale molto tranquillo.E’ collegato molto bene con il centro, il bus n.41 – che ferma proprio di fronte al b&b – impiega circa 10/15 minuti per arrivare in pieno centro. L’ospitalità è stata ottima (Margaret è veramente amabile..)la colazione è abbondante,la camera è pulita e confortevole.Siamo stati benissimo e lo consigliamo vivamente a chi ha intenzione di visitare Edimburgo.
The b&b is really nice, it’s a typical Scottish style chalet, situated in a residential district. It’s very well connected with the center, bus n.41 – it stops right in front of the b&b – takes about 10/15 minutes to get to the city center. The hospitality was excellent (Margaret is really sweet ..) breakfast is plentiful, the room is clean and confortable. We had a great time and highly recommend it to those who plan to visit Edinburgh.

Thank you, Margaret, for a wonderful week in Edinburgh! We could not have asked for better accommodations, plus the breakfasts were outstanding. You were so helpful to us, with tips on what to do and see, as well as making it possible for us to return for one more night prior to our departure. Both of your rooms are cozy and nicely appointed and your hospitality unparalleled! If you are ever in San Diego, we hope you’ll contact us!
Warmly,

This has to be the best B&B for visiting Edinburgh. Extended our stay 2 days for a total of 7. Margret knows her way around the city, area and country to help with any questions. Location is great with easy parking and a quick, simple bus ride to the city center. Breakfasts very good but she couldn’t get me to eat the haggis! Room was large and well appointed. Can’t recommend it more. If we are able to get back, this the only place we’d consider.
USA.Texas We had a wonderful stay in your tastefully decorated haven! You obviously enjoy having your B&B’s extending your warm hospitality to your guests. ‘Blessings’ Very close to the city center by bus.
Switzerland Herlichen Dank,Schon ehgerichtetes Zimmer, wir haben wunderbar geschlafen. Ausgiebiges & gutes Fruhstuck.
