I can recommend this B&B 100%. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean, great choice of food for breakfast, convenient to bus route and city centre and right next to a lovely beach, ideal for a morning walk after a hearty breakfast.. Ursula and her staff were so helpful and friendly and went the extra mile when my daughter left important... more

Really amazing value this hotel - we had between two of us a bedroom with 5 beds (one double) for £36 in total. If there were 6 of you that would be £6 per person per night - for a great hotel rather than hostel! Its on the outskirts of town, which is a bit annoying as if you want... more

My partner and I decided to go to the fringe festival on very short notice and amazingly the Ardgarth had a room available for us. We ended up in a 4 bed room with a shared bathroom. Would have preferred a double with ensuite but we were in no position to be picky. There was a regular bus service during... more

The Ardgarth is a great base for the festival. It is only fifteen minutes on the very regular 26 bus to Princes St. and there is even a night bus than stops 25m from the Ardgarth. Parking is not a problem and the area felt incredibly safe. The Ardgarth was clean, roomy, friendy and the breakfast was fantastic. Ursula &... more

We were able to park easily outside the guesthouse and travelled on local buses which stop near to the guesthouse. We loved being so near the seaside. The rooms were very comfortable and clean and staff were friendly and helpful. We had a great stay. more

Excellent situation, close to beach in Portobello, but at the same time within easy reach of the town centre by bus. Rooms comfortable, breakfast good, use of elderly internet computer, price very reasonable. more

After 6 hours on the plane, and a subsequent mix-up and 1 hr delay at the car rental, my husband, 3 children and I were exhausted and ready to settle into a restful, relaxing B&B. Unfortunately, there was another mix-up to be had at the B&B we had reserved. The owner, however, referred us to her friend Ursula at the... more

Ursula Wright was a perfect hostess who was always ready with suggestions for sightseeing and making sure all the guests' needs were accommodated. The rooms were beautifully decorated and kept immaculately clean. Her breakfasts were well prepared and we loved the fresh blue berries and strawberries. The location was excellent. It was a block from the promenade on the beach... more

I had a great stay at this establishment. Everyone made me feel very welcome, the staff was sweet and attentive. The room was spotless and the bed firm but comfortable. A good breakfast was presented in the morning. All at a reasonable rate. I can recommend the Ardgarth guesthouse to anyone looking for accommodation in the Edinburgh area. The location... more
