The Conifers Guest House

Great host: courteous, helpful, and willing to answer questions. Very nice building with pleasant little parlor/​dining room. Tasty breakfast. A bit pricey but overall worth it.

We stayed at Conifers for two nights in March. It was a lovely experience and added its own charm to our Edinburgh experience. Our host, Dave, was wonderful. He made sure to get us checked in regardless of our late arrival. We were served a delicious homemade breakfast every morning and our host eased our fears about finding a vegetarian meal in Scotland :)
Our room was wonderful. We were placed in the front room, upstairs and facing the street. It was the cozy and welcoming haven we needed after three weeks tromping through Europe. We had a private bathroom (sometimes hard to find in UK B&Bs), a huge bed and a fireplace. While we were traveling in the off-​season and on a budget, the rate we were given was incredibly affordable for such a delightful inn. The house itself was close to the city center, no more than a 20 minute walk. There was also a bus line than stopped right in front of the inn but we never utilized this because we so enjoyed taking in the city on our walks.
Edinburgh is an amazing city and one day we hope to return. When we do, I will be making reservations to stay at Conifers!
