We look forward to meeting you. Number 17 is a 'B' listed Victorian townhouse built in 1870 within the New Town conservation area and of historical interest. Originally the house site was part of the Dean Estate belonging to Colonel Alexander Learmonth. Stringent requirements were set down for the type of houses that were to be built on his estate - the result being that the houses are of a grand nature having large rooms and high ceilings with ornate cornice work. Number 17 is owned and run by Alex McPherson who is a qualified Cordon-bleu cook.
All rooms are en-suite and furnished to a very high standard.
I don't think we have enjoyed any accommodations in our travels through both Europe and America more than we did Number 17. I would even encourage them to visit Edinburgh just so they can stay at Number 17. All served with a selection of home baked scones, oatcakes, Aberdeen butteries, potato scones, morning rolls, tea or coffee. Our cancellation policy is 72hrs prior to 4pm on day of arrival. From South take the city Bypass until it ends at the South Gyle - from here take A90 it is virtually a straight road.
