Charles Pearson is a charming host and made us very welcome when we arrived. Ours was a last minute booking, while Judy was away, but Charles made sure we had everything we needed. Our room was very comfy, the en suite bathroom was sparkling - we slept well and had a relaxed start to the mornings. We had plenty for breakfast - loved the fresh fruit salad - and enjoyed eating it our first morning sitting outside in the sunny garden.

The house is perfectly placed on one of the quickest bus routes from the city centre, which made getting to and from the Edinburgh Fringe festival very straightforward, especially in conjunction with the Lothian Bus App. It is very close to Blackford Hill nature reserve with it's lovely walks overlooking the whole of the city. It was great to get up to the top and look right across to the Castle and Arthur's Seat.

We had a busy time, including going to the Edinburgh Tattoo - a must do - and multiple shows. We are very happy to recommend staying with the Pearson family - they definitely went the extra mile (or 3) to make sure we were happy. Much appreciated by Hattie and myself.
