Once found , we were very pleased to see parking - rare in Edinburgh. The rooms were well appointed , a little small, and at first extremely noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear the clomping of guests on the exposed wood stairs. The breakfast room was also very near our door and I was thinking there was to be no sleeping - but I was wrong. Somehow , magically , the noise didn't wake us - I am a very light sleeper too. Whatever the sound dynamic was in the place - I slept very comfortably and quietly. If we were going to be spending time in our rooms , I would have found the space restrictive but for a good nights rest , it was great. The only other thing I felt was a head scratcher was the bathroom mirror. Very space age, 3-D type design that completely did not go with the decor. The breakfast room was lovely and the food was very good. The hosts are happy to accommodate your every need. They had umbrellas for the rain and a very nifty call button that summoned a cab in under 10 minutes ! It's location is walkable to some things but since you could have your car on property , it's easy to drive anywhere you want to go within a few minutes. Come and stay and enjoy this cozy gem in the midst of busting Edinburgh.

The drawing room has Classic movies running on the TV with classic tunes played in the background. The dining room is elegant as are the place settings at every table; complete with lit candle. Breakfast is large gourmet and cooked to order including eggs poached, grilled, or scrambled, black pudding, haggis, sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, ham and far more options. Specials are prepared on the weekends. This meal is so hardy you won't need lunch. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed. The beds are as comfortable as any top tier hotel. The rooms can be blacked out for a very quiet deep long sleep. I slept better here then I have in months anywhere else. Good free high speed internet that is fast enough to stream video. Ross and Kathleen have created a charming experience that we will return to with every visit to Edinburgh.

The staff was very…read morefriendly and helpful, and David gave us a great quick explanation on the places to visit around the city, along with a handy city map. They had no problem with us checking in a bit earlier than expected. The location is a stone's throw away from the main attractions and has a nice choice of pubs and restaurants quite close (I personally recommend The Dogs, The Queens Arms and Eteaket). The bedroom was also lovely, the bed was comfortable and the boiler with tea and coffee to brew in the bedroom was a nice touch to warm our bones from the nice Edinburgh weather. There's a common living room with books and DVDs. You can take the DVDs to your room, where you have a DVD player. The breakfast was served at the next-door restaurant: Rick's, and while the food was good, the service on one of the days was a bit shabby. We had to wait a lot for our order and half of it was forgotten, the staff seemed like they were having a collective bad day. It's not the best choice if you want to grab something quickly and be on your way to explore the city. Anyway, I'd totally recommend this place and I'll definitely stay here again when going back to Edinburgh. It's very good value for money and a pleasant experience. A bit off-topic: If you love cats - like me - you'll be delighted to know Tessa has a beautiful big cat that you can sometimes spot at her office or around the reception.

The Bridge Inn overlooks the Union Canal, and we could watch the canal boats tie up outside our window for the night with boaters on their way to the pub. The pub on site is excellent-and we decided to have a nice dinner at the Inn, and it was wonderful! We ordered the steak dinner, and the chicken with leeks dinner-both perfectly prepared! Don't worry about being too full for dessert-they have a "mini dessert" menu with smaller portion sizes to try, we had the sticky toffee pudding-so good! Breakfast is provided in the dining room offering every option to tempt you from healthy oats and yogurt, to French toast with local made fruit compote (my favorite!). As our stay was right before the holidays, they had their Holiday Event Menu out for 2023 with special events for New Years and Breakfast with Santa for the little ones. It was an excellent stay with very friendly service!

I was greeted warmly upon my arrival, and Wendy explained everything to me quickly and in a friendly manner.

The breakfast was also delicious - perfect fried eggs, tasty butter and toast (they also had many cereal options and juices, tea or coffee).

Mit Stolz pflegen sie die Qualität der Zimmer und die Qualität der servierten Lebensmittel beim Frühstück. During our 5 day stay last August we were guests in the large bedroom with en suite generous shower on the first floor. The room was equipped with an ultra comfortable kingsizebed, sitting and writing seats and table and a generous cabinet to store our clothes and things in. The huge window doused the room in lovely light. Während unseres 5 tägigen Aufenthaltes im letzten August bewohnten wir das grosse Schlafzimmer im ersten Stock, welches mit einem grosszügigen Dusch WC Raum ausgestattet ist. Das überdimensionale Bett entspricht genau unseren Komforterwartungen, gute Sitz und Schreibgelegenheiten und ein grosser Schrank gehören ebenso zu diesem Zimmer.

No question is too much for them, they certainly love Scotland and are an immense fount of knowledge about Scotland, Edinburgh and certainly Loch Lomond where they spend their spare free time fishing and boating.
