We were served an excellent breakfast, Our host was very gracious to let us leave our car there early in the morning, before checking in late on the day of our arrival. Our one suggestion for improvement is that the bed pillows should be replaced, as they are all flat.

Not close to town. Bus took too long, so we used an Uber to and from property daily. Beds were hard and covers were musty. No lounging area or beverages available. Was presented with a hot Coke when I asked. The food was good and available when you requested. The bathroom was a good size and clean.

Amazing stay
Wow what a lovely place to stay. Such an attentive welcoming couple, perfect close proximity to local amenities, and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was lovely and not a bad thing to say about our stay. Will definitely be going back to see and stay with Sean and Elaine. Thank you for having us in your beautiful place.

We had a wonderful two night stay at this B&B. It is immaculately presented. We had a large bedroom and bathroom. Cooked breakfast made to order hit the spot. Bus stop on the main road to town only a few minutes away. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Delightful home and host.
Thank you, Shaun, for 5 wonderful nights. This delightful place is a few hundred yards from a bus stop that will take you to the center of Edinburgh in 10 minutes. Each morning we were served a delicious meal made to our liking from a list of delicious items. Shaun had some great suggestions on things to do. On our 2nd day, my wife's knee was hurting. Shaun had ice available and his wife even purchased a reusable ice pack so my wife didn't have to reuse a plastic baggie each day.

Best Host I've Ever Had
I've stayed on every continent, except Antarctica, and the host of Blinkbonny House was the best Host I've ever had. He was helpful with maps, literature, directions, suggestions. He graciously fixed us a light supper when we arrived starving. Our room was delightful and included a surprisingly large bathroom. The dining room furniture and dishes were lovely, to compliment the delicious breakfasts we enjoyed. Blinkbonny House is SO convenient to the bus stop, which is located between two beautiful parks (gardens). I will only be staying at Blinkbonny House for all future Edinburgh visits. I have some wonderful photos, but the website won't load them. Sorry!

Greatest Little Secret in Edinburgh
My stay at Blinkbonny House was all that other top reviews have stated. The host Sean was extremely accommodating and cordial. Each morning a full Scottish breakfast was served to order in the immaculate dining room. My room was clean and comfortable with a full personal bathroom. The location is a brisk 30-35 minute walk to center city Edinburgh. The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is 10 minutes away in the same area. Convenient to buses to the city centre. I would stay at Blinkbonny on my next visit to Edinburgh over one of the big name brand hotels any day. Much more personal and better service and accommodations.
