We were having a two night stay in Edinburgh and wanted to be close to the city to walk in or catch a bus.After trawling through many hotels and guest houses we found Kew House which met all our requirements very nicely indeed. Private secure parking, 20 minute walk to Princes Street, main route bus stop on the doorstep. As... More

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and I thank you and the previous few reviewers for the kind comments said about us. It's good to be considered "elegant and sophisticated" as it often doesn't feel like that when we are busily preparing each day! All we try to do it make guests feel comfortable and get the most out... More

This was our first visit to Kew House and when we are next in Edinburgh we will definitely stay here again! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left both Ian and Alan were fabulous hosts and we were made to feel very welcome indeed. On our arrival we were given a map of Edinburgh and were told... More

We really enjoyed our stay. Ian and Alan were very friendly and helpful. We wish we had more time to visit with them! They gave great recommendations for restaurants and getting around the area. The house is spotless and in an ideal location. The breakfasts were delicious! We highly recommend Kew House, and look forward to our next visit!

Looking for accommodation for a weekend in Edinburgh I`d looked at all the "Boutique" hotels when my wife found Kew House on the internet. What a find, why on earth would you want to stay in any kind of hotel? Ian and Alan are fantastic hosts and it is very clear that they have an eye for detail from the... More

We had only one night at Kew House - after a gruelling tour around Scotland - but we were met with delightful, easy hospitality from hosts Ian and Alan. The room was warm and quiet and tastefully decorated. Meal was top notch and we noticed they have returning customers who clearly adore them. Don't rely on sat nav to find... More

This is a lovely place to stay. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable and even had a fridge, with bottles of water supplied, which was very welcome. Our hosts were really friendly and the breakfasts were superb -all our foibles were catered to- even producing a sausage butty one morning! It's a 15 minute walk into the centre but... More

When travelling for business I never stay in hotels, I always find a good bed and breakfast! It's always better value for money and you're also supporting local business. I have stayed at many guest houses around the UK and Kew House is now one of the best ones I have stayed in. I was well looked after and they... More

I can hardly imagine a better and more friendly welcome! Alan and Iain are really perfect hosts and have lots of information about Edinburgh to share. Their restaurant recommendations were really good! The rooms are nice and comfortable. If you want to find something to critize it's that the water pressure in the showers is a little low and there... More

Of all the places we stayed, this was my favorite. The bathroom was very nice and updated, with soft towels, quality soap, and great water pressure. They even had chocolates on the pillows and whiskey! The bed was very comfortable. We were too busy to eat breakfast here, but they were so kind as to pack us a breakfast the... More

This was our first experience of Kew House. We had a twin room on the ground floor. The accommodation was spotless and the shower facilities very good. The extra touches just added to our appreciation of the service e.g. provision of fresh flowers on the table, decanter of sherry and chocolates. The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was... More
