Anne and Phil and their pup made this a wonderful first stop on our Scotland tour in May of 2010. We did take a little while finding a place to park but we just weren't used to the area. All good. :) The guest house is charming and wonderful, the view of the ocean from our room amazing, and the... More

Booked this guest house for myself and 4 friends to watch Scotland v England Game. Can not imagine what the hosts must have been thinking when we arrived at the door with 2 Englishmen in England shirts and Kilts 1 Englishman in England shirt and tartan trews and another one dressed as a Knight but they took pity and let...

I wish I could have stayed longer in this house. Ann & Phil are nice and provide a warm welcome. I really felt at home!. My room overlooked the beach, clean and comfortable. Not to forget this house is perfectly located. I'm thinking about another stay in 2012... More

Anne & Phil are perfect hosts. Our room overlooked the Firth of Forth and the sound of waves gently lapping on the beach was a great setting. Joppa's is very convenient to the city with a regular bus service in/out of Edinburgh. Trip takes about 20min and costs 1 pound 30 pence each way. Don't try and drive as it... More

I could not fault this B&B in any way. Very handy for the centre of Edinburgh, yet in a very pleasant location, quiet and stress free. More

A beautifully maintained guest house in a tranquil location. The owners showed thoughtfulness and care with their lovely finishing touches, and their friendly but not imposing manner. Excellent value for money, highly recommended. More

I chose Joppa Turrets after seeing the reviews on here and I wasn't disappointed. I stayed here for three nights and I really wish it could have been longer. The location is fabulous, right on the Promenade with wonderful sea views. You can fall asleep to the sound of the waves - so relaxing. Anne & Phil are the perfect... More

Had a single room with views over the garden and the sea, which looked like a winter wonderland due to loads of snow. At night the soft splashing of the waves could be heard, which was really nice. The room and the bathroom were tidy, clean and comfortable with cosy window seats. The owners were very nice and had no... More

If you want a great place to stay that is near Edinburgh but also near the water, try this great B&B. The four of us wanted easy access to Edinburgh, but wanted to avoid driving in the city. Joppa Turrets is along an easy bus line - which we used to explore the city. The service at the B&B was... More
