Gordon, Maggie, and Kate were amazing. Not only is their guest house beautiful, but the service was second to none and made our first stay in Edinburgh a great one. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quiet and well serviced stay a stones throw from downtown Edinburgh.

One of the best Guest Houses in Edinburgh
The Highfield Guest House is just a little bit further from the centre of Edinburgh but you can easily get there in 20 minutes by bus. The premises are immaculate and I was given a very friendly welcome by Maggie. Breakfast is not provided but that is not a difficulty as a branch of Margiotta's supermarket is just opposite where good croissants and coffee are available. The ensuite facilities were very well kept.

Perfect weekend stay
The guest house was easy to find with ample nearby parking. A lovely warm welcome (and room upgrade!) was the start of a perfect stay. Beds were very comfortable, and the rooms were clean and well-appointed. We'd definitely stay again.

Lovely stay. Ideal location with regular buses running into City very nearby. The area was exceptionally quiet in the Event by with some great nearby cafes for breakfast. Room was very clean and comfortable with a view of Arthur’s seat from our window. The host was super helpful with an informative welcome explaining all of the transport options and places to visit. Highly recommended

Great B&B near Royal Observatory
The Guest house is a 10min walk from the Royal Observatory and a 20min walk from old town. Ideally located for a business meeting at the Observatory. The Highfield has only a few rooms (5, I believe) and the owners are very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are not very large but very clean, comfortable and extremely well maintained. It is not a place where you want to work for hours but if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in your room, it is a great place to stay. If needed, I am sure you can use the breakfast room to work or read. The breakfast is cooked to order, very tasty and served starting at 8am. I keep on the top of my list for places to stay in Edinburgh.

Super guest house on the south side of Edinburgh
Fabulous guest house within easy walking distance of the City Centre. Well connected to bus routes too, and close to most of the Fringe venues. Maggie and Kate were great hosts, with Maggie in particular giving loads of advice on travel and dining options. The single room is a little on the small side but comfortable, bright and clean. I hadn't realised the bathroom was not ensuite but it is very close to the bedroom and not a major inconvenience. Breakfast was amazing!

The location of the accommodation is brilliant, not too far away from the city centre, in a quiet location, with a lovely view towards Arthur’s Seat and plenty of shops and pubs near by.
