This is a wonderful b&b if you're looking for somewhere to stay. The hosts David and Margaret were lovely, very accommodating really helpful with the little things like bus timetables, places to visit , places to eat. The property was clean and well kept, and our room with the ensuite bathroom was spacious and comfortable, and we were even allowed to bring food back to our room in the evenings. We could have had our room cleaned daily, but we decided to be eco-friendly and opted for using towels, etc, more than once. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked each morning, service was very quick, nothing was too much trouble. A good selection of cereals, fruit, and yoghurt if you wanted something lighter. This place has a real home from home feel, and I would definitely visit again.
There was nothing that required any improvement.

The proprietors were absolutely lovely and engaging. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was cooked to order.
Parking is a street down but we expected that going in. You are in a major city!

The place was beautiful and cozy. We felt very homely there.
The bed was a bit too soft for my taste, otherwise nothing.

The Gifford House is very cozy. You quickly feel at home there. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful. From the Gifford House you can get to the top of Arthur's Seat quite quickly. It takes about 25 to 30 minutes to walk to the city center. However, there is a stop for the Lothian buses in the immediate vicinity of the house. Lines 30 and 33 take you quickly to the center. We will stay at the Gifford House again on our next visit to Edinburgh.
I have nothing to complain about.

The cleanliness was excellent, very clean everywhere. The bedroom we had was a fantastic size, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the bedroom, and our view of Arthur's seat was brilliant. The breakfast was delicious, and the menu caters for all. Thank you to Dave and Margaret for your hospitality.

Excellent location for a bus or short taxi into Edinburgh. Rooms were fresh, clean and spacious. Beds really comfortable and the breakfast was ten out of ten. You can get anything you want all cooked to order. Absolutely fantastic value for money. Highly recommended.
