Maureen and Gordon not only offer a lovely, comfortable place to stay, but they are just delightful people. After numerous train mis -adventures, I arrived much later that I expected to their home. I was immediately ushered in and invited to have dinner with them. I was so touched!
They also offer a lovely breakfast that’ll keep you going as you’re out and about. They are conveniently located about 15 minutes walk from Edinburgh castle and near multiple major bus routes. (Just note: unlike many London buses, Edinburgh buses don’t alert you to the upcoming stop, so you’ll need to keep an eye out for the stop before theirs of Port Hamilton, which is usually Usher Hall.) I would highly recommend them to other travelers to Edinburgh!
