Ann's home is as warm and inviting in person as it is described online. My sister and I loved our rooms and the sitting room. Ann and Allen are lovely. We enjoyed our talks each morning at breakfast. We didn't take the local bus but I'm sure if we had it would have worked great. We opted to Uber from the train station and to and from the royal mile to Ann's beautiful home each night and upon departure. The Uber drivers were very hospitable and informative. I advise if you are going to Edinburgh Castle start there early in the morning when it opens to avoid long queues to the Crown Jewels and such. Then walk down the royal mile. The hop on and off bus tour for the day was worth the fair as well. Thank you Ann and Allen for opening your lovely home. I would recommend staying here and would and hope to do so again
