We stayed at Thistle Dhu in December 2011 and found the hosts John and Margaret so welcoming and friendly, an absolute delight. We loved our twin room which was very comfortable and had everything one could possibly need. This year we found that we unexpectedly had to return early from our holiday. We contacted John for a room for the... More

Having stayed in many B & B's and teally enjoying them, we were looking forward to what Thistle Dhu would be like. We stayed on two occasions, both on our inbound arrival in Edinburgh for two nights in the family room and on our outbound journey on the main level. Although the rooms are very small, there is nothingmto want... More

Stayed with Margaret and John in mid July for the Madonna concert at Murrayfield. Wished we could have stayed longer then one night as they made us feel so welcomed and it felt like staying with friends! Our twin room on the ground floor had everything that we needed including hairdryer, tea/coffee making facilities, flat screen tv, ensuite shower room... More

We stayed one night before departing for home, very close to the airport, but, in addition, a lovely place to stay. Margaret and John were extremely friendly and made us feel at home, cooked us a wonderful breakfast and directed us to the car return. The rooms are clean, well appointed with thoughtful touches, like the individual lights above the... More

We booked this B&B for 1 night on the outward leg of a trip abroad, thanks to its close proximity to Edinburgh Airport - like previous reviewers we were absolutely delighted with Thistle Dhu. A very comfortable house in a nice area, with extremely hospitable owners John and Margaret who couldn't have been nicer to us or more helpful. -... More

We stayed here the night before we left the country and were very glad we did. It's very close to the airport, yet buses to downtown were available just a few yards up the street. Very nice, clean, and quiet (considering it's on a major road). The only thing I would recommend is to print out the email agreement you... More

Stayed for one night at Johns and Margarets lovely house. We had chosen it because of it's proximity to the airport, but it turned out it only took us about 15 min by bus to the town centre. Perfect! The bedrooms were really nice and comfortable; you could hardly hear the traffic outside. Delicious breakfast and a nice chat afterwards... More
