The accomodation was booked last minute for a shopping weekend. Although we did not set out looking for any thing special, we certainly found it with the Fairholme Guest House. Both Douglas and Barbara are two of the most hospitable people you could wish to stay with and the Guest House is perfect. (also recommend the cooked breakfast) The location... more

Every year we go up to Edinburgh for the weekend before Christmas and every year I don't get any sleep because it's such a noisy place. However, Fairholme B&B is blissfully quiet!

Everything worked, and the room was spotless and nicely furnished. Breakfast was ample and varied with lots of options and choices. The breakfast room is located in the... more

We found the Fairholme Guest House online, but what the advertisement didn't say is that we would be locked out of the home when we arrived. The proprietor apparently went to the doctor and didn't leave us a note or a key and so we stood outside in the rain for about 30 minutes until one of the other guests... more
