This B&B was just what I had hoped for, it was central, very clean and we felt so incredibly lucky to have found it. We are literary minded and love history and so it was wonderful to find this historic gem. We did not need any transport as Edinburgh is so accessible to pedestrians from Heriot Row. I don't understand... more

i have stayed in a lot of B&Bs, but this one was gorgeous! I was warmly welcomed by the owners themselves, and immediatly fell in love with the charme of this historic house. Perfect location, room and beds were great, breakfast was lovely, especially the homemade jams. Thank you for everything - will definitly stay here again. more

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the RLS house in September and found it to be a wonderful experience. Upon arrival we were greeted with hot tea in the dining room and a dram of fine whiskey in our room. We have 3 beautiful grandchildren, so loved being a part of a family. The twins, with their blonde... more

Since I have to go to northern England and Scotland quite often because of professional reasons, I was very glad to find the Macfie familiy and their wonderful house. In this B&B, everything is just perfect: the atmosphere is so friendly and warmhearted, that one immediately feels at home. The six Macfie-children, ranging from lovely two-year-old-twins to almost grown up... more

I've stayed more than once at the Stevenson House and will do so many more times in the future. To arrive at the door is to be immediately embraced into the bosom of the mildly eccentric Macfie family life; you may find yourself having breakfast with the charming children, conversations with Mr.Macfie about RL Stevenson, Scottish genealogy or almost any... more

Oh Traveller - read these reviews - I wish we had. To pay £120 a night for an ensuite room and then to find the family's washing hung up to dry in your bathroom; the drawers and cupboards in your room and bathroom stuffed full of your hosts personal posssesions and clothes - to find these were being accessed when... more

I use tripadvisor a lot but have never written a review, until now. My experience at RLS House compeled me to change. As usual, I went on Tripadvisor to find a nice B&B in Edinburgh. Although there were some negative reviews on RLS House I figured these may be the few out-lyers that can sometimes bring a place down in... more

Really good location (5 minutes on foot to "rose street" and 10minutes to "royal mile"). The hosts (Macfie family) are really nice and thoughtful, you can't complaining with the food because they bring everything you want. They have children but they aren't noisy. John and Felicitas will be delighted to speak with you, and you can't get bored during breakfast... more

Having stayed in this lovely B+B on various occasions now, I can only say :it would be difficult to find better ! We loved being included in this large family. Breakfast in this house is a true occasion. We love the elegant ,original decor and history of the house. the central location (for the price) is unbeatable ! more
