Lovely stay..
Simon helpful and friendly. Room was very nice though very small. Good job we are too. Impossible to dry oneself in the bathroom. Apart from that, the rest was “Perfect”. Bus services from Mayfield Gardens is far better and later night service than the 42 mayfield road one. The 42 does not run on Sundays or weekdays after 7:44 (last one from city centre). Breakfast was nice especially the haggis. We both slept well..Thanks Simon

Hello Raymond, Thanks for the great review and appreciate your feedback. Good info regarding the buses, think it's better to walk the 2 minutes to the next main road. Unfortunately there is nothing more I can do with the size of the rooms. They are small doubles. Soon we will have 3 new larger rooms on the 2nd floor. We look forward to opening them up over the next 2 years. Thanks again Raymond.

Short break
We spent 6 nights here at the end of September 2021. We had a couple of nights in a smaller room at the rear but were upgraded to a lovely room at the front. The hotel is located about a 30 minute walk from the City Centre or there are bus stops nearby. There are also some nice restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Simon was a friendly host and there was a good choice of breakfast options. We would stay here again

Just got back from a stay over a long weekend. Simon was very friendly and accommodating, and even helped with ideas for around Edinburgh and the journey home. Room was very well stocked, clean and spacious - breakfast was also a welcome addition (and good!) before venturing into the city centre. I can’t fault the location either, an easy walk to all the parts you’d want to visit in Edinburgh. Hoping to come back next year…

Wonderful service, and THERE’S A TORTOISE!!!!!
Wonderful service, and THERE’S A TORTOISE!!!!! Simon was super helpful, the bed was incredibly comfy, the breakfast was great, it was awesome! The only thing not so perfect was that there are no in room fridges so it might be a good idea to take a cool bag if you want lots of cups of tea, but there is a big fridge down the stairs. The patio/back garden area is lovely, quirky, and the resident tortoise Torres is just wonderful! The two restaurants Simon recommended were also excellent and incredibly good value. We probably won’t be back as we like to try out different places, but would 100% recommend. A lovely and great value getaway with fabulous service. Thankyou!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this guest house. We were greeted by Simon and his beautiful sausage dog. I would like to say thank you to Simon who made our stay special and his delicious breakfasts especially his omelettes always brought a smile to my face and good start to each day. Myself and my husband particularly liked the classy and grandeur interior, another factor which contributed to an all round experience was the location. Located in the Mayfield area this was ideal with half an hour walk within all the attractions and the city centre which kept us on our toes. Another aspect to note was the attention to ensuring the guest house was covid safe within numerous hand sanitisers placed throughout the guest house. Thank you Simon.

Beds were comfortable and the room seemed newly redone. They provided us with water and glasses. The breakfast was very good. We followed their suggestions for nearby places to eat and really enjoyed No 1 Grange. Location was great for Holyrood Park and The Meadows, but a little less convenient to Old Town/City Center. Lots of bus options though. Staff was very helpful in helping us figure everything out.

Lauderville great stay at Christmastime
Lovely experience at Lauderville Guest House. Proprietors were warm, informative, interesting and highly guest service oriented. Rooms are small, and bathroom is truly a wonder of fitting in a tight space, but the beds are really comfortable, the house and street quiet, and all within a short 20 min walk to Edinburgh’s main attractions. The breakfast was also terrific and the coffee and tea sublime (especially to the jet-lagged traveler). Oh, did i mention the price is really reasonable? I give Lauderville my highest recommendation.

Lovely guesthouse within 20-30 minute walk to Edinburgh city, but also on a bus route if walking isn't possible. Parking in the side street next to the guesthouse. Rooms are small and bathroom tiny, but all very comfortable. Daily housekeeping. Delicious full English breakfast with plenty of choices cooked to order. Friendly family running the property. Was able to have some washing done (for a small charge) while we were out sightseeing.
