Room information

All rooms are en suite and double glazed to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.

On arrival you will be given your own front door key. The house does not restrict access to the rooms, but they do depend on guests not abusing this facility.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served in the lovely conservatory. Bright and welcoming, even on the dullest days, here you can enjoy a good selection of cooked breakfasts. Toast and cereals are also available.

Area information

The Tollcross area provides all amenities you may require, including cinemas (independent and main stream), more than one theatre, leisure centres and ten-pin bowling. You can also enjoy the vast park area nearby, The Meadows, which is a great place to relax, play tennis or, occasionally, visit the local festivals.

The house is on a good bus route for further afield attractions such as Roslyn Chapel, Portobello Beach, Cramond and its island, and also the Britannia and The Botanic gardens.

The area is particularly great for eating out, so at the end of a long day sight seeing, it's good to know you will have a vast choice of places to eat at all different prices to suit your budget.
