    Beautiful and charming B&B, in the south of Edinburgh. Clean and comfortable rooms, fantastic hosts, excellent breakfast (continental with yoghurt, fresh fruit, toast, pastries, etc) and strong WiFi! You can walk into the city center in about 40 minutes but there are also frequent buses that get you there in a few minutes, would fully recommend. It's also near the hermitage park which is stunning and absolutely worth exploring.
