I've stayed in Edinburgh in B & B's a couple of time and it seemed awkward and too formal. Tom and Steph made my daughters and I feel welcome from the moment that we walked in the door. The ever present "Poppy" (kitty kat) played a supporting role by making sure my youngest daughter Abigail always had someone to cuddle up with.
The accommodations were clean, comfortable and inviting, especially the 8" square shower head with fantastic water pressure...who couldn't get lost in that?
I feel like our two families made friends, that's Scottish hospitality for you! When I'm back in Edinburgh, Tom and Steph will be my first and only choice.
