“There's a personable touch to this guesthouse that I find quite appealing, from the daily tea and biscuits to a host eager to share local recommendations. The location provides a quieter experience, a bit removed from the city's bustle but still convenient to attractions like the National Museum of Scotland. For those seeking a family-friendly stay without breaking the bank, this could be a smart choice.”
