Situated in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Waverley station, Edinburgh Playhouse and Royal Mile, Ben Cruachan Guest House features free WiFi. The property is around 2.6 km from University of Edinburgh, 2.7 km from Edinburgh Castle and 2.9 km from Royal Yacht Britannia. Located in the Broughton district, the guest house is within 6.2 km of Arthurs Seat. The staff were all very accomodating, and really nice. The breakfast was delicious, copious, and with plenty of choices. The room and bathroom were clean. Even if on a quite busy road, the windows are soundproof, so we slept very well in our big, confortable bed. And there is even a big private backyard where you can chill. We arrived late, so we had to do the self check-in, but the instructions were clear and it was very easy to get to our room. There are plenty of bars and restaurants around. The tram and bus stops are a few steps away, but we could do most of the sightseeing by foot.

Set in East Calder and only 15 km from Forth Bridge, Ashcroft Farmhouse offers accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Located 16 km from Murrayfield Stadium, the property provides a garden. Edinburgh Zoo is 16 km from the guest house and Hopetoun House is 18 km away. The complete experience was amazing. It was sad that I couldn't meet Elizabeth due to personal issues, but her daughter was excellent, and they gave me a non-required compensation for the breakfast. I strongly recommend this lovely place to stay in their Scotland vacations.

Situated in Edinburgh, within 15 km of Forth Bridge and 16 km of Murrayfield Stadium, Whitecroft B&B features accommodation with a garden and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is around 16 km from Edinburgh Zoo, 17 km from Edinburgh International Conference Centre and 18 km from Hopetoun House. The Real Mary King's Close is 19 km from the guest house and University of Edinburgh is 20 km away. The establishment was quite small - only three rooms - but that only adds to the charm. The rooms are clean, charming, and equipped with everything you might need, with the exception of a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was very clean. The owner was an absolute dream. She was nice and very helpful. I had the vegetarian breakfast and it was delicious. There is a bus stop two minutes away which is very convenient if you plan to ride the bus into the city center. The fare for a single trip on the bus, since it is a Lothian country bus, is £3 and you must have exact change to buy a ticket on the bus.

Housed in a historic building, the recently renovated Sheens House provides accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 1 km from University of Edinburgh. The guest house features family rooms. Beautifully decorated room. Comfy beds and very clean shower/bath with good water pressure. We liked that this was situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood but was close enough to eateries and attractions (just a stroll across the meadows to the Roysl Mile) Many thoughtful provisions like a list of where to eat/ what to see, and a fridge next to the entrance that was stocked with bottled sparking water.
