This place is a real proper bed and breakfast! The neighborhood is quiet, the bed is comfortable, and Dave provides a nice spread of cold breakfast items for you to help yourself. He also has some great tips about things to do in town.
It's an easy and safe mile and a half walk to the Royal Mile, and close to Arthur's seat. A shopping center is also nearby. I enjoy walking so I never once got on public transportation in the three days I was visiting.
Try a fish wrap and sticky toffee pudding nearby at the Safari Lounge, recommended by your host!
