An amazing, quiet location , a beautiful old house with very good facilties. It made me and my 11 old son feel like in a fairytale, with a great contribution from the house dog and cat. Many thanks to David , for being a great host and for contributing to our rugby knowledge, that was amazing for a young boy that is discovering this beautiful sport , and enjoyed a very good game in the beautiful city of Edinburgh

Wonderful stay in Scotland

This was the ideal place for my two week stay in Scotland. The location was perfect because it is within walking distance of my sister's home and close to bus stops that take you everywhere in the area. David was a delightful host and I felt very welcome and comfortable.

The proprietor David was a lovely man. His breakfasts were tasty and delicious. Good B&B for an old-school stay. Old Georgian home so if you like a historic stay, this is it.
