This is the real thing as far as staying in Edinburgh is concerned. A beautiful New Town house, full of books, art, old furniture and family memorabilia. Not modern! I don't think there was a TV. The room we stayed in was warm and comfortable. The family was warm, well informed and welcoming. The continental breakfast was what you might actually get on the Continent - in a ski resort, say- rather than an excuse for an inadequate snack. The location is in the New Town, about 15 minutes walk from Waverley , so 20 to the Royal Mile. No traffic noise. A really special place to stay.
