There are many choices for accommodation when travelling to Edinburgh, but what are the benefits of choosing a Guest House?

Guest Houses can provide a more personal experience for guests, with the owner or manager often living on site. This means that they can provide local knowledge and recommendations for things to do and see in the area.

Guest Houses often have smaller numbers of rooms than hotels, which can mean a more intimate and relaxed stay. They can also be a great option for families, as they usually have more space than a hotel room and children are often welcome.

Guest Houses usually offer breakfast as part of the room rate, which can be a great way to start the day. They may also have a communal lounge area where guests can socialize and make friends.

All in all, there are many reasons why a Guest House could be the perfect accommodation choice for your trip to Edinburgh.
