Garlands Guesthouse is a truly wonderful place with a cozy and elegant atmosphere. The rooms are tastefully decorated, spacious and very clean. We could really see that the host Bill has given a lot of thought into what guests would need to have a comfortable stay and this we had. Bill was very friendly and made us feel very welcome....

Kettle, different types of tea/coffee etc in the room, The bed and pillows were really comfortable, the whole place was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated.... More

The other "excellent" reviews say it all! Really good choice for a stay in Edinburgh. Already planning another trip for the summer! The walk to the city centre and sights is about 15/20mins, but the local buses (day pass £3.50/single £.150) only takes 5mins.

Excellent stay at Garlands Guest House. Immaculate, nicely decorated, large rooms, good location. Excellent breakfast (cooked by Bill)! Bill is the perfect host with a wealth of tourist info. Nice restaurants a short walk. Bill obviously takes great pride in his home and making all guests feel special. Would not consider staying anywhere else if we ever return to Scotland.

Host Bill as caring and jolly as ever and the banter still the same after many a visit there, still has the time to talk and remembers everyone . Room 2 at top of house was as welcoming as it gets and the cosy feel of the room makes relaxation... More
