I can certainly recommend staying at Carole's lovely accomodation!
Carole used to own a small B&B and just missed seeing all the people come in, which definitely shows! Carole is chatty and helpful, with all kinds of useful advice about Edinburgh, even offering to pick us up from the train station if we couldn't find our way.
The room is really well presented, lovely memory foam mattress and comfortable sheets with plenty of storage for a short stay. The ensuite is a great size with an equally great and spacious shower.
Breakfast is cooked and served up exactly to order. We were spoilt with fresh orange juice, home made marmalade and raspberry jam on toast, and breakfast cooked to your choice. We opted for a full fry up the first morning, then porridge with a fruit platter on day two. They were both amazing and fully set us up for the day.
The location is superb, just a short 15 minute walk to the New Town and Waverly station. All in all, this is definitely one of the best value for money stays you'll find around Edinburgh. We'd be back to stay again, but Carole will be doing up a new place in February with two bigger rooms right in the heart of the New Town and I'll certainly be looking to book that up!
