My husband and I arrived at Barony House and were greeted warmly by the innkeeper (who was actually filling in for the owners while they took a short break themselves). Scott was welcoming and helpful, however, and made it easier for us to navigate around the city. The room itself was beautiful - on the ground floor, set towards the... More

Just returned and had to say everything was excellent, first day I had to leave early and Scott was so kind to pack a breakfast for me to take and then this morning's breakfast was excellent. Lovely clean comfy room, extra special touches in room of sherry and shortbread. Will be returning next time for pleasure.

Just back from a three night stay at the Barony House, couldn't fault it. Scott did a wonderful job and was very helpful at all times. Excellent breakfast. Very clean rooms. Would definitely stay here again.

We are 5 mature adults who stayed at the Barony House for 4 days in late April 2013. Two of our party had stayed with Leo and Susie in 2005 when they were located at a B&B on the same road. The location is convenient to the bus line and within reasonable walking distance(1 1/4 mile) to the old part... More

A friend of mine and me stayed for 4 nights with a travel-break of one night inbetween. We were welcomed very warmly by Scott (a friend of the landlords who helped them out while they were on holidays) and felt home at once. The rooms were decorated recently and they were clean (incl. the bathroom), which is very important for... More

Our two night stay was a most pleasant experience. Our welcome was warm, the room was comfortable and the breakfast was great. We appreciated having our eggs cooked to order while being able to help ourselves to the other hot choices on the buffet. The bus stop is a short walk away and buses come along every few minutes. It... More

We stayed there just for one night, but that was amazing choice! Room was really cozy, clean and well equipped. Cherry and shortbread was nice, bathroom was extremely clean too and breakfast was very, very good! Friendly lady-owner. One of the best choices you can do for that price in Edinburgh.

Well I couldn't believe it, as i didn't think it was required, but our visit to Edinburgh's Barony Guest House, provided the cream on the cake to a fantastic weekend. (Football and Rugby.) Over the years we return to Edinburgh from our home, now in Yorkshire, and if we are lucky, time wise, book at the Barony as our place... More
