A very warm welcome from Ruary and Aileen at this guest house. Would definitely recommend and would return. About 15 - 20 mins walk to Waverley Station and also very close to bus routes if you prefer. A nice selection at breakfast and you will be made to feel "at home" from when you arrive. Ruary will suggest how to... More

My daughter and I spent a weekend at the Kingsview in April. Our room was quite small and on the 3rd floor (we had to walk up). Occasionally there were loud conversations in the hallway and dogs barking once in a while. However, I have to say the attentiveness of Ruary far out shadowed any of those inconveniences. We had...

We spent 2 nights at the Kingsview. The owners were wonderful! Provided plenty of information about the town and directions. They were willing to help with anything we needed. We were accommodated to an early check-in with no problems. Took a quick nap before heading out to see the town. Very good location to walk the City Center and castle.... More

I have probably stayed in the Kingsview at least once a year for the past 9 years (missing one year when it was fully booked) and I have to say I always look forward to returning the year after. The hosts are incredibly friendly and always helpful. The breakfasts are hearty and very tasty. Despite being on quite a busy... More

Ruary and Aileen are the most attentive, helpful and welcoming hosts at the most well-placed city centre Edinburgh B&B - which is also dog-friendly! If you are holidaying with your dog(s) you should also try Henrick's Bar-Bistro (which Ruary suggests but which I also recommend, having eaten there every day of our holiday). You can take the 10 11 15... More

Ruary and Aileen were fantastic hosts. We stayed in November 2012 and what a great B&B ideal for walking into Edinburgh. Our room was spacious, very clean and great wee bathroom. We met Jodie the wee doggy and she is adorable. Ruary was excellent in sharing is knowledge on where to go. Lovely breakfast and a great two night stay... More

The breakfasts are wonderfull, consisting of Black pud, Hagis, sausage, Bacon, egg and potato cake, with a never ending supply of Tea or Coffee.... More

Some people are amazing in their criticism, so much so that it’s hard to understand how Tripadvisor can allow comments that verge on libellous (e.g donIreland40’s description of the wife of the proprietor). Similarly, comments about the furnishings, small room size, dog, etc. As Ruary has himself commented, there is a limit to what you can do in a Victorian... More
