Room was spacious and luxurious with a couple of sofa ledges. Amenities provided were extensive as well, including cognac on top of regular items. Breakfast was impressive and varied, and of course its the Scottish that has porridge with whisky, who else would!

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Straven Guesthouse provides accommodation with a shared lounge and free WiFi. The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. The hosts, Chris and Sinead, were fabulous, very friendly and helpful. The homemade shower gel was really lovely to use also. The location, about 25min by bus from Edinburgh was just what we wanted, quiet and close to the beach. The bus stop was only a 2min walk away but we had no traffic noise.

Set in East Calder and only 15 km from Forth Bridge, Ashcroft Farmhouse offers accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Located 16 km from Murrayfield Stadium, the property provides a garden. Edinburgh Zoo is 16 km from the guest house and Hopetoun House is 18 km away. Super friendly landlady. Nice room, comfortable bed, good shower, excellent breakfast, private parking. We wanted to stay the night somewhere out of the hussle & bustle of Edinburgh and this was the perfect location. We asked for advice on somewhere to eat in the evening and she suggested "The Grapes Village Pub" nearby in East Calder. It was cosy, had friendly staff, and the best pub meal we've had for a longtime.

Situated in Edinburgh, within 15 km of Forth Bridge and 16 km of Murrayfield Stadium, Whitecroft B&B features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 16 km from Edinburgh Zoo, 17 km from Edinburgh International Conference Centre and 18 km from Hopetoun House. The Real Mary King's Close is 19 km from the guest house and University of Edinburgh is 20 km away. Lorna was an amazing host. In general, accommodation around Edinburgh is quite expensive so we found this place which was relatively affordable compared to other places and had a high rating. It is a house-turned-b&b, has 3 small rooms and a nice small dining room. Everything was super clean and Lorna was the friendliest host we have ever met. She gives you a small form to fill every night to get your breakfast preferences and time to eat. Her cooking is lovely. Definitely recommend her full Scottish breakfast with Haggis. She cooked the best haggis out of the 3 restaurants we tried. The only downside was that the place is quite far from the city (45 min bus ride - take X27) and there is only one bus that goes there but if you catch it and don't mind the travel time, it is definitely worth a stay.
