Quality At Spylaw
Having forgotten about this reservation (made over a year ago in anticipation of the Tattoo), I would have missed it completely but for a call with a query from the host, David. I managed re rearrange my plans and I'm so glad I did. David is a charming host and made me feel so welcome. It was clear at breakfast that everyone shared this feeling. David took a genuine interest to ensure his guests had a positive trip to Edinburgh. Breakfast, whilst I'm on the subject was delicious with excellent proper coffee. My room was the master bedroom and didn't disappoint. The Superking bed was comfortable but the highlight was the exquisite bed linen. Similarly, the curtains which I drew at night, were heavy and lined; just beautiful. Having a proper teapot was a welcome surprise. Tea is so much better made properly so I really appreciated this with the matching crockery. The tea and coffee were quality brands. There was also a little fridge which would be handy for a longer stay for water, snacks or just to keep the champagne chilled. These little touches elevated the experience. The bathroom was large with everything I could need including cleansing pads, cotton buds and toiletries. What else can I say? I could snip about a bit of dust or some wear and tear here and there but this is to be expected with such a large and period property. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Spylaw. The city centre just 20 minutes on the 44 at the corner.

Very friendly and peaceful.
We arrived late due an issue on the train but we had a warm welcome. The room was lovely and it was so quiet and peaceful. Breakfast was fitted in around us, as i had a very early start, and was freshly cooked. Highly recommend this for a calm and quiet break.

Our second stay here - we love this B&B! David is very friendly and cooks an awesome breakfast. Easy to get to from airport and easy to jump on bus #44 to head into the city. Highly recommended!

This property is a 1790 home converted for lodging with updated plumbing, electricity, and wifi. Breakfast was delicious and huge! The owner/host is the BEST. David is helpful and friendly for all the places to see in Edinburgh and how to get around. A bus stop is very close by for transportation down to the Royal Mile and back. A really nice pub is close with delicious fish and chips. The property has no lift, so you do have to carry your bags. It's also home to a delightful pup named Figgy and a gorgeous cat named Starry, so if you have animal allergies, this is not the place for you. But we LOVED it here and would absolutely stay again.

This was probably my very favorite stay, the host was fabulous, the breakfast incredible, the bed more comfortable than any I’ve ever stayed in, the town was adorable, and there is nothing I could even remotely come up with negative. This was a fabulous day!
