If you are in Edinburgh, it doesn’t get any better than staying at the Chaumer. The room itself is much larger and more grand than we were expecting. It is decorated in a very classy & comfortable way and for just being a bedroom and bathroom it feels very roomy. The location is on the edge of new town so it is a bit if a walk to old town but you’ll come to realize quickly that the location doesn’t get any better because you are within easy walking distance of everything you want to do but are separated from the craziness if the bustling city at the same time when you want to retreat to your room. My last point and by far the most important, though the room is gorgeous, the real asset that makes the Chaumer great is the amazing staff. Though you have the privacy of your own property, you also have the amenities of the Chaumer’s staff for any help and free breakfast. We were out early some mornings before the restaurant opened and the Chaumer workers were sure to take care of us the night before by leaving us breakfast and always making sure we were well accommodated. Towards the end of our stay, my wife got a cold and they made her a special meal and tea to help her heal up while we hunkered down in the room. We cannot thank Vixy Rae, Hamish, and the rest of the Chaumer staff who went above and beyond in taking care of us during our stay at the Chaumer. (P.S. Parking is tough, you have to pay a pound for every 20 minutes parked on the street right next to the restaurant but we found free parking at the Goldenacre Playing Fields on Ferry Rd. (10 min drive, 30 min walk from The Chaumer) We took the taxi back to the Chaumer and either walked or taxi’d anywhere we needed to go while we were in Edinburgh which is what I would highly recommend you do if you are staying in town, it is much much easier to enjoy the town this way.
