I stayed at the Highfield for three nights and I could not have chosen a better place. The room was perfect, clean, cosy, and with all the facilities (including free and fast internet), location ideal, and the service and the staff were absolutely wonderful. The attention to detail was outstanding, and the friendly attention I received, including the personalized and... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. The room and bath were very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful with restaurant and sight suggestions. We had to leave early in the morning to go to the airport and the hosts packed us a breakfast and arranged for a... More

A bed and breakfast that provides everything you could need at extremely good value. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms, and everything you need (eg TV, free wifi). Huge choice for breakfast. Very well placed for the centre of Edinburgh (on frequent bus route or a healthy stroll), and just 5 minutes walk from the University. More

We wanted to stay in Edinburgh for only one night to visit the newly renovated National Museum in Chamber street and see the Christmas lights. We chose the Highfield base on the recommendations on trip advisor and it's convenient location (close to the city centre and easy to find off the by-pass). We weren't at all disappointed it was as... More

Another stay in Edinburgh, another great guest house find. The Highfield GH is located on the south side of the city centre. We had a comfortable ensuite family room, which was very tastefully decorated, with a double bed and two singles. A extensive breakfast menu was handed out every day, you made your decision, and then left the menu on... More

This was our first trip to Scotland and we could not have chosen a better way to start our trip. Maggie and Katie were just the most welcoming, cheery and thoughtful hostesses we ever met. Maggie made suggestions for meals, walks, transportation and attraction visits that made our Edinburgh visit just about perfect. Their breakfasts were outstanding and though small,... More

Highfield Guest House was a great surprise. We were in Edinburgh during the Fringe Festival and didn't want to be located near the city centre. The guest house was perfectly located and we had only a short walk to the city centre. The room we stayed in was absolutely wonderful. It was spacious with lots of windows and very comfortable....

We stayed for a couple of nights during the Edinburgh Festival and found the Highfield House a great base. The hotel is located pretty close to the city centre, easily walkable or even easier on the bus. It's also close to the bottom of Arthur's Seat if you fancy blowing the cobwebs away. We were in a twin room which... More
