Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Kingston Guesthouse provides accommodation with a garden and free WiFi. This guest house features free private parking and luggage storage space. The guest house features family rooms. We stayed at room number 6, at the top floor (no lift). The room was very nicely decorated, everything was new, with a nice window, comfortable bed and amenities like fridge and coffee/tea. Enough plugs everywhere and even usb en usb-c connections. Our bathroom was outside the room, in the same floor, private for us. We didn’t find it a problem that it wasn’t en suite. The bathroom was also new and beautiful, with a window and proper lighting. The property parking was also a good bonus. Really easy connection to the city center by 10-15’ bus, the bus stop was 5’ walk away, safe to walk at night as well. The owners were super friendly, very quick with communication and accommodating. We definitely recommend it!

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.

Quiet (do not be concerned about closeness to airport). Lovely location, where small town meets countryside. 30 min by bus to downtown Edinburgh (bus app works well). Also, if you have a car, Sabannga Thai restaurant 3 miles away comes highly recommended.
