We have stayed in this guest house over six times to date. The rooms are spotless and guests are provided with extras such as sherry, water and chocolates. It is quiet and backs onto Victoria Park plus it has private parking at the side - a boon in a big city. The proprietors treat guests like family and there is... More

What a great decision to have stayed at The Bonnington Guest House during our visit to Edinburgh. It is in a quiet and lovely location with excellent access to the bus routes in and out of the city. On our first night of three, we loved our walk down to the harbour to Newhaven for an excellent seafood dinner. Just... More

If you are looking for somewhere to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, The Bonnington is the place for you! Lovely,friendly,warm welcome from Gill, who then led us up to our spacious,tastefully decorated, immaculate room. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was gleaming. The decanter of sherry and some chocolates on a welcome tray... More

I have just returned from a two night stay in The Bonnington GH and I must say that I am very pleased with it. After doing my research, I realized that this would be perfect for us for a number of reasons: private off road parking, triple room (not many offer this option), and in a convenient location, only 10...

We picked this b&b because we wanted to be within walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was an excellent place to say. The hosts were really friendly and helpful. We stayed in a large double and it certainly lived up to its name. It was lovely to stay in the suburbs and it was very green and near... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here Dec 29 2011-Jan 1 2012 and had a great stay. Ian and Jill were great hosts. We were given a warm welcome, and help with our bags. Ian and Jill were very helpful, and helped recommend everything from attractions to pubs to bus routes. They were also very accommodating when we asked to leave... More

We chose here to be closer to Leith tho' not actually in it. Situated next to Victoria Park the area is lovely as is the guesthouse. We chose en-suite and the only thing I'd have wished for is a bath to soothe my "shopped-out" aching legs. The room is decorated in a modern style, the bed extremely comfy. Wee complimetery... More

The hosts were extremely accommodating even with the volcano disrupting our travel plans. We were only able to stay one night because of the volcano and the gracious hosts only charged us for one night. If that weren't enough, they provided us with the right change to take the bus to the castle! The place is immaculate and full of... More
