We had a lovely stay at Ben the Hoose, it was ideal for our weekend in Edinburgh. A bit out of the city, it was a perfect escape from the Fringe festival madness at night, but also really accessible to town by both bus and train, and a very reasonable taxi/Uber journey. It's also a very short walk to the beach, and we made use of the local swimming and Turkish bath facilities in Portobello. The space was ideal for the two of us, with a massive comfortable bed. We got saturated on our first night (classic Scottish summer), and having the gas stove in the living area was a lifesaver to dry our things as well as a lovely cosy touch. The layout and design of the space was very well done - especially Lynn's wood panelled wall! The hosts were very friendly and I'd happily stay again!
