We have just got back from a fantastic anniversary weekend in Edinburgh, made all the more special by our stay at The Guest Room. The B&B is just 15mins walk from Edinburgh Waverley on a quiet Edwardian street that’s only a few minutes stroll from a wealth of good restaurants, bars and pubs – we particularly enjoyed Broughton Street.

We stayed with Katrina and Fergus over the bank holiday and had a fantastic weekend. They were both very hospitable and catered to our plans, especially in preparing breakfast for us earlier before the marathon. The rooms were very comfortable and beautifully presented. The Guest Room is in a fantastic location and we were in easy walking distance to everywhere... More

We recently spent 2 weeks in Ireland and Scotland and this was definitely our favorite B&B! Katrina and Fergus were wonderful hosts! We arrived very early in the day and Katrina was there to great us with fresh coffee, and we were able to check in then. Fergus made a point of meeting us as well. The room was very... More

A very comfortable escape from a weather miserable weekend in Edinburgh. This B&B has everything you need and more. As said by previous reviewers, wonderful hosts Katrina and Fergus. They gave great advice on where to eat (Loch Fyne Restaurant, very good) and suggested a better route to our next B&B and somewhere to shop on the way. Thank K... More

My husband and I spent a lovely sunny Valentine's weekend in Edinburgh, staying at the Guest Room that we'd found online quite by chance. We were glad to have found the Guest room- we had an interesting spacious room, at courtyard level, filled with books and a piano! Adjoining bathroom was lovely clean and warm, with a great shower.

This B&B is really a home away from home. The room on the main floor is soothing and very comfortable; thick carpet, nice sofa, great bed. The breakfast is good and having it delivered to the room is a treat. The location is fantastic; we walked everywhere. Katrina and Fergus are wonderful hosts, always willing to offer suggestions.

Beautifully clean, spacious and comfy room. (we stayed in the room overlooking the courtyard) Breakfast was a tasty selection of warm croissants, muesli and yoghurt, and freshly made coffee. The location is brilliant for exploring the city, with the royal mile within an easy ten minute walk, and there are a host of great restaurants and bars all within a... More

I stayed here with my friend at the end of January and we had such a nice time that I rebooked for a long weekend in February with my husband. On both occasions, the owners, Katrina and Fergus, were extremely welcoming and did everything they could to make us feel at home. Our room had its own access, so we... More
