Ensuite Double room in a fabulous home

TracyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I highly recommend Claire as a host. She goes above and beyond to give her guests a nice, enjoyable and relaxing stay. On my first day of arrival, she thoughtfully took me to local supermarket, so I could buy basics for breakfast etc. She also showed me where the bus stop was too. Claire lives in a very quiet area and the bus stop is only a 5 minute walk. So the best of both worlds…quiet, calm and relaxing place to chill and a short walk and short bus ride to city centre to explore Edinburgh. Claire gave me a key during my stay, so had the freedom to come and go as I pleased. I really enjoyed my stay with Claire. She’s so lovely, friendly and helpful. We got on really well straight away. The bedroom and en-suite bathroom were even better than the photos. The bed in particular was very comfortable . The price paid was amazing value too. I’ll definitely been staying with Claire again when I visit Edinburgh again.

Double room in Edinburgh

창준Rating, 5 stars5 days ago

This accommodation is as clean and nice as nice as it is known. The location was good for taking the bus when going to the city, and it was good to take the highway when moving to other areas. I don't think you can experience the breakfast David prepares every day anywhere else. I already miss this accommodation and breakfast. I stayed for 4 nights, and if I go to Edinburgh again, I will find this place.

A spacious living area is highlighted by a large projector screen, displaying vibrant visuals. A cozy seating arrangement is present, with cushions arranged invitingly. A low coffee table is adorned with books and a candle, providing a warm glow. Built-in shelves filled with books line one wall.

Room to let in bright flat now.

EvaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We spent a few days at Doreen's house and they were great, the room was even better than in the photos, the house was very nice and the bathroom was recently renovated. The cats were very nice and Doreen was wonderful, giving us some great and very useful recommendations, and the treatment with her made us feel at home. It's a bit far from downtown, but there's a bus stop right in front of the house, and in less than half an hour you're downtown. I will definitely stay there again when I return to Edinburgh.

Delightful Fully Licensed Room in the Inch

JeremyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a fantastic stay with Susanne and Kilian in their lovely home. Susanne was a kind, considerate, and genuinely friendly host who made us feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a real treat, with a thoughtful spread including fresh fruit, jams, bread, eggs, and a lovely variety of Nespresso coffees. It was great to see a selection of milks provided to cater for different dietary needs. The room and home were clean, tidy, and impressively well-organised. There were lots of thoughtful touches—locked drawers for valuables, hotel-style shampoo and body wash in the bathroom, and even umbrellas provided for wet days out. We felt very well looked after throughout our stay, and wouldn't hesitate to return. Highly recommended!
