Host made you feel at home. She even made supper reservations for us at the Waterfront which I highly recommend. We walked and it wasn’t far. Laura leaves little extras for you in the room that the bigger places do not. Very thoughtful host.

A wee gem

This place was a great find. Friendly host, lovely room, easy parking and lot of wee extras to make my stay comfortable (including chocolates, Whoo hoo). I was warned that room 4 might have road noise, but, in fact, the glazing was excellent and i can honestly say that I had a great night's sleep. Also, though i didnt need them, the hosts thoughtfully provide ear plugs. I will definitely be back!

Sweet Guest House with lovely hosts Laura and Danny run a sweet little Guest House where I had a lovely 3-night stay. You order breakfast the night before and Danny cooks it in the morning - full Scottish available and a great way to start the day. The house is an easy and lovely river-walk into the heart of the city in one direction and out the canal in the other. The home is sparkling clean with updated bathrooms, comfy beds and lots of little amenities, like a mini-fridge in the room. The owners live upstairs and are a great source of information about the area. This was the perfect place for me to land for a 3-week solo tour of Scotland. I did not have a car and could get around easily. There is a grocery directly across the street, as well as a bus stop. I would love to stay here again.

Danny and Laura’s place was so lovely to stay at. I had some trouble getting to Inverness from Edinburgh due to train strikes, but after calling Danny, he was able to help me find a way to get to Inverness and was so kind. The place itself was easy to find, right by a bus stop, and was also a short walk to the bus station and to the Caledonian canal, which was a wonderful place for a walk. I arrived a few hours before the scheduled check in, but they were able ro have my room ready early. Their guest house was extremely clean and comfortable - the bed was one of the most comfortable I had ever slept in. They had a microwave I was able to use to heat up food and a small fridge in the room that had cold water upon my arrival. The day I left, I had an early bus and Danny had made sure to leave some breakfast items for me, free of charge. Truly the most accommodating and kind hosts and an excellent place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone.
