We stayed at Pillars House for 3nights while we looked around Edinburgh. Local bus stops were within easy walking distance, and one day we walked to the Royal Mile then back. Edna is a wonderful friendly hostess, and she cooked great breakfasts. The room was large, warm, clean and comfortable. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay. We would... More

Location is really bad to get into Edinburgh if that's your main choice of destination - buses or taxi. 40 minute walk into city centre. We booked for Edinburgh Tattoo and this place spoiled our weekend. Room we were put in was "up a few steps" so we were told. It was actually 163 steps up very steep flights! On... More

This B&B was lovely. The rooms are warm and clean, the staff are pleasant and full of tips on things to see and do around the city and the food is great. We enjoyed a comfortable stay over Hogmanay and would definitely go again!

This must be the fourth time I stay at Pillars House. With it's friendly staff, excellent Scottish breakfast, spacious en-suite rooms and closeness to high frequency bus service, it's the perfect place for a stay in Edinburgh

Another B&B let me down at the last minute, Pillar's turned out to be virtually the only room in town and I couldn't have had better luck! My room had been recently refurbished with a hotel quality bathroom and very comfortable bed. I received a very warm welcome from Edna on arrival and an amazing full scottish breakfast in the...

Booked in for work. Was a little apprehensive at first as we were buzzed in rather than entering into a traditional reception you expect at a hotel. Met by Edna the landlady who couldn't have been nicer. Room was large (family room.....had 6 beds!). Everything was spotless and I mean spotless! It's a little dated but not scruffy, damaged or...

Pillars House is not a hotel, it is a lovely bed and breakfast on the out skirts of Edinburgh. My husband, mother, and myself stayed for two night 7th/8th August 2012, and we were made so welcome. The reason for our visit was the Edinburgh Tattoo, and if you have never been I would highly recommend it! All in all... More
