Jim, our host, was very attentive and looked after everyone with ease. Thanks Jim. Great location also. Close enough to the city and all the tourist spots in Edinburgh, and yet distant enough to be quiet and secluded.

Great B and B

We stayed in room 9 over New Year and it was amazing! Jim is such a helpful, friendly and welcoming host, really knowledgable about the local area and he makes sure you are comfortable! The room is spacious, comfortable and clean with everything you need. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful! Appin House is a great location. Just off a main bus route served by many buses so you aren’t waiting more than a couple of minutes, parking is available if you’re driving on the safe street and the centre of Edinburgh is in walking distance if you are happy to walk about mile and a half ish - so lots of options to suit all needs! We also stayed here about 2 and a half years ago which is why we chose here to come back to and it was just as good and we will definitely return when we come back to Edinburgh!

Fantastic B&B and the most wonderful staff!

The Appin House is fantastic, beautifully appointed and so inviting and comfortable. James went out of his way to make sure my stay was perfect and it was. I highly recommend this beautiful B&B. It is in the perfect location, in a beautiful residential area, just a few minutes from the center of the city, and the tram stop just one block away. A perfect stay and the most wonderful staff who so warmly welcome you to that beautiful city!

È situato in una bellissima zona residenziale, stanze spaziose, bella doccia, silenzioso. Colazione buonissima sia continentale che all’inglese. Ci vogliono più o meno 10-15 min per raggiungere il centro a piedi. Il signor James, il titolare, è molto gentile, ci ha dato alcuni consigli per visitare la città.. ci tornerò sicuramente.
