I had to book a one night stay in Edinburgh, and chose the Abcorn Guest House. I had a great greeting from Jimmy and a shy grand-daughter. Room was a single, but surprisingly roomy. It was very clean, and well maintained. Bed was very comfy. The Abcorn is a great base to stay, it was an easy stroll into town.... More

What a fantastic find. We didn't have to use the car because there was an excellent bus service just outside the door. Ample car parking was available. Breakfast was plentiful and nicely presented. Comfortable beds and being in the back of the guest house lovely and quiet. Very clean. We would have liked the use of a lounge as we... More

We found our hostess, Maria, to be friendly, informative and helpful. Great location, with public transport at the door. Also the restaurant, The New Bell, just around the corner, a great place to eat. Our room was lovely, but a tiny ensuite.

Edinburgh was a great experience. Maria, our host was extremely helpful and kind. The room was spotlessly clean and our towels were changed on a daily basis. Breakfast was very generous with eggs, tomatoes, bacon and sausages, together with toast and cereal. The guest house is in an ideal place, next to a bus stop that takes you right to... More

I came Edinburgh for a four day business trip. Maria was extremely welcoming, and very helpful and made sure, I had a room with a desk to work on in the evenings. with the bus stop right in front of the door, I could not have had a better base from which to work.

Maria at the Abcorn was delightful and very helpful as was her father. Our first evening we asked if she would recommend a place to eat that "if you are in Edingburgh for the first time it's the must eat place.. . The Whiski on High St was her pick. We walked the short mile to High St on found... More

We stayed at the Abcorn Guest House in Spetember 2011 - there was just 2 of us. The Guest House was easy to find and in a good location. There was an abundance of buses running into the City Centre and they run until quite late on the way back. Maria and family are really friendly and there's a real... More
