West End Townhouse

New Town, Edinburgh

Boasting a shared lounge, West End Townhouse is a recently renovated bed and breakfast situated in a historic building in the centre of Edinburgh, close to EICC. The property has city views and is 1.8 km from The Real Mary King's Close and 1.7 km from Edinburgh Waverley station. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and Camera Obscura and World of Illusions is 1.5 km away.

At the bed and breakfast, every unit is fitted with a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels. The units are equipped with heating facilities. If there is a ranking of exceptional hostesses in Scotland, host Carole beats them all with ease. We were given a very warm welcome and it immediately felt like coming home. We got the best breakfast place in the beautiful kitchen overlooking the valley of green Stockbridge. Ideally located if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city centre yet within walking distance of the sights. We immediately fell for the charm of the Victorian house's interior. Slept wonderfully in the soft bed and had the best shower of our 10 days road trip. Only one little remark might be the single glazing which meant the street was sometimes audible (if you book the room in frontside) but in nothing compared to the bustle of the city centre. Carole was always happy to see and serve us with an authentic funny flair. No wonder that the biggest plus asset to book here is Carole herself. She is so friendly, shows interest and enjoys a short chat. And at breakfast-time she shows off her hostess skills to the full. Even received a little chocolat box to apologize for a missing towel on the day of arriving… Breakfast choice is almost unlimited: cereals, tasty toast with seeds, croissants, several yoghurts, freshly cut fruit (with the tastiest raspberries I have ever eaten), quality cheeses and cold meats, scrambled egg, home-made jam, fruit juice, coffee and various teas. And on our last morning, we were even offered slices of Scottish salmon fillet. There are no beter words to expres how royally we were served then: “The experience of staying as she would like it herself she said” (because the whole B&B picture was right spot-on for us). We will sincerely miss her and our stay was unforgetable and the very best end we could wish for on our first roadtrip in Scotland!!

The room itself was lovely, with many little details like shortbread cookies, a wee dram to partake, and a perfect set up for tea and coffee. The room was elegant and cozy at the same time!

Sheridan Guest House 4 stars

Edinburgh

The guest house offers a seating area with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a hair dryer and shower. The guest house offers some units with garden views, and all units are fitted with a coffee machine. At the guest house, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. Tom and Rowena were incredibly accommodating and kind. They greeted us upon arrival and had bought specific ingredients for breakfast to cater to our dietary needs. We were visiting for the marathon and they even offered to get up early to prepare a meal for us. The room was beautiful and cleaned daily. The breakfast was delicious (especially Rowena's homemade sourdough!). I could not recommend the Sheridan Guest House enough and will definitely be back if I visit Edinburgh again.
