I stayed at the Highfield for 5 nights in October. It was my first trip to Edinburgh, and I loved both the city and the B&B. My single room had its own private locked bathroom down the hall--a robe and slippers were provided for the short trip down the hall. The room was average size for singles, but had every... more

If I could describe my experience in the Highfield Guest House I would say "All Rounded". I've been in many B&B and you always find a drawback. In the case of the Highfield Guest House, there are no compromises. - Location was good, 10 min by bus from the Downtown. - The house is an elegant Victorian House, tastefully decorated.... more

This guest house represents excellent value close to downtown Edinburgh. Highfield is an elegant Victorian house, with such features as beautiful crown mouldings inside. The breakfast room is especially attractive. Hosts John and Christine Watkins seem to know everything about the surrounding area - especially the bus schedule. It's a 15-minute bus ride downtown - or an easy 30-minute walk.... more

3 nights very nice, no problems. Very friendly hosts who gave us many helpful suggestions and went out of their way to take care of us. Makes you feel very comfortable and secure. Many of their guests are connected with the University of Edinburgh and repeat customers. Great cooked breakfast, very nice and clean room. No parking lot, however ample... more

An absolutely lovely hotel. Amazing breakfast and all cooked to order, not forgetting the lovely home bakes. The rooms are really clean and have every facility, even down to cotton wool and cotton buds. The location is excellent and both the proprietor and proprietess have loads of local knowledge that they are more than happy to share with you. more

I'm recently back from a long weekend in Edinburgh, staying at Highfield Guest House, and just have to post a review. I chose Highfield having read the reviews already posted on tripadvisor last year, and having never been disappointed before by accommodation reviewed by tripadvisor, I was hopeful of yet another positive experience. My stay at Highfield surpassed expectations -... more

We stayed here for 3 nights and had our best stay in Scotland. The owners, John and Christine were the most gracious hosts we've ever, and were really fun to talk with. The room was absolutely spotless and it was obvious that they paid great attention to every little detail. The breakfast was excellent. Everything was fresh and very well... more
