At the guest house, units have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The guest house features some units with mountain views, and the units have a kettle. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Alia was extremely attentive, even from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. She always responded promptly, was super attentive, helpful, and friendly. She helped us with numerous tips and other details that weren't even necessary for the experience, going far beyond what was expected! The room was impeccable, super clean, and everything was very well organized and tidy. We were extremely satisfied with our stay and the great experience we had. We felt very welcomed! thank you very much, Alia!

The property features quiet street views and is 90 metres from Portobello Beach and 4.5 km from Arthurs Seat. Royal Yacht Britannia is 6.5 km from the guest house and Royal Mile is 6.6 km away. The hosts, Chris and Sinead, were fabulous, very friendly and helpful. The homemade shower gel was really lovely to use also. The location, about 25min by bus from Edinburgh was just what we wanted, quiet and close to the beach. The bus stop was only a 2min walk away but we had no traffic noise.
