This was a wonderful opportunity to stay in a unique house. The room itself is vast with incredibly high ceilings and the entrance hall like something from a period drama! Apart from the early morning seagulls (which I guess you get anywhere in the area) the room was completely quiet, facing onto the inner courtyard gardens. We were able to walk to all the Fringe Festival venues from the house, only taking a taxi from Waverley station when we had a heavy bag (this cost £4). We could use the kitchen or eat breakfast at a little bar 5 minutes walk away. Jim was friendly and flexible with our arrival and departure times. Don't stay here if you love an ensuite but do stay if you want somewhere very different with immense character.
