We spent two nights at Felicitas’s and what an amazing experience it was to stay in Robert Louis Stevenson's house! Our room was at the top of the house and had an amazing view over the Firth of Forth. It was very comfortable, quiet, warm and we had a good night's sleep. It was lovely having our own ensuite. The location of the house is fantastic being only a 3 minute walk to George St and the Assembly Rooms, (where we were attending a ball), and 5 minutes to Princes St with all the major shops. From the station it took us about 15 minutes to walk but it is a fairly easy walk on wide pavements and with only one short hill on the way back. Felicitas recommended a number of restaurants to us which was very helpful. We tried Café Jules on Hanover St and enjoyed the French Bistro atmosphere. We had a good experience there and the bill was not too expensive.
Breakfast was the highlight of the day served in the original Georgian dining room on the long antique table - and that is an experience in itself. John served breakfast and there was an excellent and delicious choice of muesli, yoghurt, meats, fish, boiled egg, homemade jam/marmalade and homemade bread. We sat and ate breakfast with their lovely family and thoroughly enjoyed all our interesting conversations. We felt so welcome, not like guests, but members of the family, and we thoroughly recommend Felicitas’s.
