"Cosy Scottish townhouse. Neat, clean, with a wonderful view overlooking Arthur's Seat."
"The suite is quite large for my family of 4, clean, close to grocery stores, friendly and helpful staff/owner, highly recommended, will come back again."
"It was very clean and comfy, a bit old but that is not a problem at all (I actually like it!)."

“The Newington location strikes a smart balance: close enough for easy access to the city center and Waverley station via frequent bus routes, but removed from the bustle. I think the Victorian architecture offers a historical counterpoint to Edinburgh's attractions, and the provision of on-site leisure like billiards is a genuine plus for families; altogether, a very welcoming spot.”
