We recently stayed in Ellesmere house and were so impressed with both the standard of accommodation and the friendliness of the family. We arrived early on a Friday morning while Ruth was in the middle of serving breakfasts, our room wasn’t quite ready but in the mean time we were offered coffee and toast while Murdo (Ruth’s husband) chatted away...

comfortable room, great breakfast, quiet. The managers were very kind. The only little problem, rooms do not have a desk. However, free wifi was working very well, and I managed to work anyway. The location is perfect to visit the city. More

My wife and I have just returned from Edinburgh and want to comment that Ellesmere House proved one of the best guest houses we have stayed in. The breakfast of porridge, varied cooked breakfast and delicious fruit platter with Greek Yoghurt was excellent. We were given much kindness throughout our three nights with nothing too much trouble. Our room was... More

It is situated in a lovely area opposite a park with great pubs, restaurants, cafes and supermarkets round the corner and a easy 10min walk through the parks to the centre of town. The rooms are decorated beautifully with attention to detail. There's a fridge in the... More

Lovely stay with a nice warm welcome from Ruth and Murdo. The rooms were nice and comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of choice and cooked to perfection. The falling of snow on the saturday made it a perfect weekend. Many pubs and restuarants just a few minutes walk away and the royal mile a 10 min walk away, just... More

I stayed here for one night for a business trip and couldn't have felt more at home. The owners were very flexible and accommodating about my later arrival time. I had a very comfortable bed, with a TV, lovely bathroom, and good hairdryer in the room. I ordered breakfast the night before from a range of choices. Breakfast was served... More

We were very pleased with our stay at Ellesmere house. The location is about a pleasant 10 minute walk from the Royal Mile via the Meadows park, and there is a nice pub about 100 yards away. The owners, Ruth and Murdo, are extremely pleasant and helpful. More
