Once found , we were very pleased to see parking - rare in Edinburgh. The rooms were well appointed , a little small, and at first extremely noisy. We were on the first floor and could hear the clomping of guests on the exposed wood stairs. The breakfast room was also very near our door and I was thinking there was to be no sleeping - but I was wrong. Somehow , magically , the noise didn't wake us - I am a very light sleeper too. Whatever the sound dynamic was in the place - I slept very comfortably and quietly. If we were going to be spending time in our rooms , I would have found the space restrictive but for a good nights rest , it was great. The only other thing I felt was a head scratcher was the bathroom mirror. Very space age, 3-D type design that completely did not go with the decor. The breakfast room was lovely and the food was very good. The hosts are happy to accommodate your every need. They had umbrellas for the rain and a very nifty call button that summoned a cab in under 10 minutes ! It's location is walkable to some things but since you could have your car on property , it's easy to drive anywhere you want to go within a few minutes. Come and stay and enjoy this cozy gem in the midst of busting Edinburgh.

The drawing room has Classic movies running on the TV with classic tunes played in the background. The dining room is elegant as are the place settings at every table; complete with lit candle. Breakfast is large gourmet and cooked to order including eggs poached, grilled, or scrambled, black pudding, haggis, sausage, potato scone, bacon, beans, ham and far more options. Specials are prepared on the weekends. This meal is so hardy you won't need lunch. Bedrooms are comfortable, clean, and beautifully appointed. The beds are as comfortable as any top tier hotel. The rooms can be blacked out for a very quiet deep long sleep. I slept better here then I have in months anywhere else. Good free high speed internet that is fast enough to stream video. Ross and Kathleen have created a charming experience that we will return to with every visit to Edinburgh.

The staff was very…read morefriendly and helpful, and David gave us a great quick explanation on the places to visit around the city, along with a handy city map. They had no problem with us checking in a bit earlier than expected. The location is a stone's throw away from the main attractions and has a nice choice of pubs and restaurants quite close (I personally recommend The Dogs, The Queens Arms and Eteaket). The bedroom was also lovely, the bed was comfortable and the boiler with tea and coffee to brew in the bedroom was a nice touch to warm our bones from the nice Edinburgh weather. There's a common living room with books and DVDs. You can take the DVDs to your room, where you have a DVD player. The breakfast was served at the next-door restaurant: Rick's, and while the food was good, the service on one of the days was a bit shabby. We had to wait a lot for our order and half of it was forgotten, the staff seemed like they were having a collective bad day. It's not the best choice if you want to grab something quickly and be on your way to explore the city. Anyway, I'd totally recommend this place and I'll definitely stay here again when going back to Edinburgh. It's very good value for money and a pleasant experience. A bit off-topic: If you love cats - like me - you'll be delighted to know Tessa has a beautiful big cat that you can sometimes spot at her office or around the reception.

Breakfast, in the open plan kitchen diner was cooked to order, with a wide choice on offer. As for Vince, the owner, we received a genuine, warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble to ensure our stay was an enjoyable one. (He even offered to put up some sandwiches for us the day we left because we were leaving early in the morning) Overall, an excellent experience, and one we shall repeat in the future

The bathroom was large and there were lots of nice natural light. Room had tv, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and biscuits. The building is stone and WiFi can be difficult (like any accommodation that is stone built). Once you sit in the dining room WiFi was fine. The location is fantastic, far enough from the crowd and close enough to walk to all the tours sites. We were suggested to walk through the gardens that sits parallel to the main Princess street. It's beautiful with all the flowers as we stroll through this garden to the National Gallery and to the Old City. The B& B is near the off and on bus line one short block away. We were situated in a lovely courtyard. Don't let the initial entry into the building fool you. We were a bit taken back with it too when we first got there. Once inside the B & B, all is well. It's spartan and clean. The conversation and knowledge from our hosts is what made our stay nice. Each breakfast (which sometimes linger for 2 hours because of our conversation) has really made our trip personal. We were there for 3 mornings. If you want to understand from a local perspective, this is the way to go. Take part of their history with you. Our host Duncan is fluent in at 3 to 4 languages and worked for many years as a tour guide all over Europe. His love for history is evident in his knowledge of all that he advises about what to see while in Scotland. His recommendations for sight seeing and schedule of when to get there as well as restaurants were dead one. Our other host Walter (pictured here) was a delight! He shared a local perspective and insight. Thank you for the wonderful company and for the scrumptious breakfast.

First…read moreoff, let me say that the location is perfect if you want to play Carnoustie Golf Links...right across the street from the 18th fairway. I shared a room with a colleague (two single beds) and it was comfortable with all of the amenities you would expect from a Scottish B&B. Beds were comfortable, room was of a good size (not THAT large though) and the bath was excellent with good water pressure. Breakfast was hearty and well situated, in a room overlooking the golf course. Internet service was excellent and there were plenty of electrical outlets (important in this day of electronics). All in all, an excellent B&B. But wait, there's more! In setting up my golf trip, I was in constant contact with Phil, the proprietor, who was VERY helpful in booking tee times and finding out about golf. Considering the time difference, it was great to have him make the calls locally and establish the bookings. We paid for our green fees through Phil, so that made it even more simple. Phil was understanding of our needs and was very accessible. When we arrived, it was as if Phil and June (our hosts) were old friends. Now, a bit about Carnoustie. The town is not exactly brimming with the nightlife of a major metropolis (or even St. Andrews). There are a handful of restaurants and not extensive shopping. The best thing is that the town is an excellent base of operations if you want to do a day trip to Aberdeen (we played Cruden Bay) about two hours north. As mentioned, Carnoustie Championship is across the street, Carnoustie Burnside is down the street and you can find some additional great golf at Montrose Medal (twenty minutes north) and Panmure (five minutes away in Barry) so if you want to plan a few rounds in the area, Linksview is perfect. A couple things to note. The Linksview does not have any kind of common room to hang out in when not in your room. They do have a room to store golf clubs or dry your gear. Parking is easy and accessible (on street or in a lot across the street). As mentioned, Carnoustie is not an epicurean paradise....we dined at the Carnoustie Hotel and that was fine, stopped at the local pizzeria (standard) and had a fine lunch at a place called Franco's. At any rate, if you are a golfer, you can't go wrong with the Linksview Guest House. On the cost side, the room tariff was extremely fair for the season. One word of warning...the last four holes at Carnoustie are brutally difficult. They don't call it Carnasty without reason!

This place is in a nice quiet location convenient to downtown, opposite a palace-like college campus that is being turned into a luxury resort.

A word of advice is to pay attention to which busses use the closer stop so that you save yourself the walk from Haymarket.
