Situated in Edinburgh's West End, The Bonham Hotel is a Victorian town house. Majority of the bedrooms have a city view. Shops and restaurants on Princess Street, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile and EICC are all within walking distance. The room and facilities were spotless and beautifully designed. What really stood out was the attention to detail it’s what made the whole experience truly memorable. Highly recommended. Great job to the team at The Bonham!

This luxurious 5-star retreat has a fine-dining restaurant and romantic bedrooms about 3 km from the Royal Mile.

Each stylish room at Prestonfield House has antique furnishings, free Wi-Fi, plasma TV, a stocked minibar and views of the gardens and parkland. We opted for this location for our last 2 nights in Scotland, as we wanted to treat ourselves a bit and enjoy some quiet time. It delivered much more than that. The house can be very cosy if you enjoy its style. If not, you may find it old-fashioned. But either way, its charm it’s undeniable. The effort put into maintaining the property at this high standard is remarkable. We also dined there and the service and food were impecable.
