Ally was a welcoming host, who showed us on a map highlights to visit in Edinburgh. The room was spacious and light, with a nice vase of fresh tulips on the table, where we breakfasted in the morning sunshine. The location is good for walking to Princesses Street and the Royal mile, albeit uphill but then its down hill back. You are right on the doorstep for taking the Waters of Leith walk, close enough for a nice longish walk to Leith and visit the Royal Yacht Britannia and take a cream tea. In the other direction walk along the river to Stockbridge, with its artisan coffee shops and onto Dean Village. Ally provided plenty for breakfast with the kitchen always available to make tea and great Lavazza fresh coffee. There are a couple of DIY issues which Ally has scheduled for completion. A comfortable bed made our stay complete.
