"We stayed out of Edinburgh further than we have done before but the bus services from Cameron toll were really good and we were able to park for free right outside"

gracious hostcozy roompeaceful viewsmall room
Alia was a gracious host! she. the single room with the external bathroom suited my needs perfectly, it felt cozy and private. i loved the view of the back garden. It was so peaceful.
The room, though perfect for one, was quite small, and it felt a little bit difficult to move around freely. It made organizing my things a bit of a puzzle!

the guest house provides free parking just outside the entrance, a helpful feature in this area. a bus stop to the city center is around the corner! the nearby shopping center has everything you might need during your stay.

The host provided parking information well in advance of my arrival. This. The room included arrangements for tea and coffee. I found this very convenient, it was also very clean.
The shower had very low pressure. The shower cubicle was also very small. The mattress reminded me of it was a low quality one.
