The property was very beautiful and this was a great home base for our week in Edinburgh. It was a bit away from the city center so we did end up taking buses and taxis more than expected. Traffic in front of the house gets quite busy around lunchtime and supper. While housekeeping provided a steady supply of tea packets and granola bars, we did have to venture out for food. I didn’t appreciate the cafe the guest house recommends but thankfully there were a lot of other options within walking distance. Guest house is beautiful and staff provided a very handy guestbook to ensure all questions are answered.

Very clean, very nice and helpful staff. Quick check in, no issues. However room a bit small for the price. And very hot even with window open... It will not be good for hot summer days which are not very often in Scotland anyway. Overall very good experience.

One night stay

I had a great stay at Grangeview, the room was exceptional and felt like it had recently been decorated. It was a great size and felt stylish and cosy. I was pleasantly surprised to find a dressing gown and slippers in the room which was a lovely extra touch on top of all the usual things. The guest house is in a more residential area which felt very relaxing but was only a short walk away from the royal mile. It’s also a great base for exploring Holyrood park. I’ll most definitely stay again when I’m next visiting Edinburgh.

Happy in Edinburgh

A lovely old building in a quiet neighborhood.The Edinburgh Marathon was the same weekend we were trying to get accommodations and the only room in this affordable lodging that was available was one with shared toilet and shower. We had a sink in our room though so that was great! The host was on site and actually insisted on carrying one of our bags up and down the two flights of stairs. The bananas and oranges at the front desk were very welcome! We expected to shared the toilet and shower but we had them to ourselves as it turned out.

Place was clean, conveniently close to the Royal Mile to walking distance, lot of buses and transportation is available to major interest places. The house is beautiful and convenient parking in the rear. You get a code for the front doors and the room key is inside. They have fruit and maps available. The staff is amicable and helpful. Highly recommended.

A convenient and comfortable place to stay

The hosts were very helpful regarding helping us plan our stay there, suggesting activities, bus routes, and nearby restaurants. We did not have an ensuite, but there was never a wait for the w/c, and we were very comfortable. It was a lovely, convenient place to stay. We appreciated having the car parking in the back. Thanks again for a great stay!

Stayed here at the beginning and at the end of our trip. The place was okay but outdated. Also the building affected my partner's sinuses. Not sure why, his health usually is not sensitive like that. We didn't realize this until we stayed there a second time. The bathrooms attached to the rooms are useable but the shower and sink are very small. Also if someone flushes the toliet while another person showers, the water will run cold for a bit. We had stayed in two different rooms and had hot water issues with two separate bathrooms. The second/last time the water would go from boiling hot to ice cold continuously. No one was using the other bathroom at the time so must be something wrong with the shower itself. They do provide coffee and oatmeal in the room which was nice. There is also free parking in the back in case you have a car.

Great location, lots of lovely places to eat - we dined at The Apiary and The Old Bell - both were great - the Apiary was nice dining with a great vegetarian selection, the Old Bell is a great pub with excellent pub food.

Our hostess Kim did a very good orientation to navigating and enjoying Edinburgh. This is a lovely old home that has been well kept up. We were surprised by the daily room clean service. We did not stay in an en suite room but rather share the bathroom with other guests. This was not a problem at all and indeed during our stay in the guest house was quiet. The location is not in the bustle of the main drag and we liked that, But if you want to be in the more keyed up area with night life around you, you might want to be closer to the center..As middle-aged healthy types we walked to the Royal Mile and attractions and made our pedometers very happy. There is plenty of good public transportation at hand, however. There are a surprising number of good restaurants a few blocks away. We enjoyed the Abbey, the Southpour, and my favorite was the Apiary. They were Indian, Moroccan, and Italian restaurants that look pretty good as well but we just didn’t get there. Enjoy!

The owner is very kind and helpful. The home is lovely with great furniture. Our room was beautiful and comfy. However the WiFi is horrible and the shower gives you hot water or pressure. Not both. Would stay here again. Hopefully not on the third floor next time. The staircase is narrow and curved and I have mobility issues. My sister was totally fine with the stairs though if you don’t have problems with stairs
