I spent some days at Stevenson House in December last year. I went there with my husband and son to celebrate my 40th birthday. It was unforgettable, I almost felt at home. I always feel at home when I am in my beloved Edinburgh but that time I wanted it to be really special so I decided to stay in... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Stevenson House. The house itself has an amazing, overwhelming atmosphere and my room had a fantastic view. A big plus, too, was the newly decorated bathroom with its blissful shower and underfloor heating! Also, the house is located very conveniently in walking distance from "everything" - the bus station, the old town, Princess... More

I had a great stay over the weekend in the Stevenson house. Me and a friend went to Edinburgh without much knowledge of what to do, but the advice which we got from the owners was great! We also didn't have to search for good restaurants. The advice we were given and the food in the B&B was really tasty,... More

Loved the mix of history and family atmosphere in this house. Amazingly located. Everything within walking distance. Warm, welcoming and an informative household. Good conversations over breakfast. great trouble was taken to point us to good venues, restaurants, plays. even tickets were offered. We LOVED our stay there. We will be back again soon.

I've been to Edinburgh a number of times. There is no better place for staying from my point of view. The Macfie family are wonderful hosts, it's a very beautiful house in one of the most elegant streets of Edinburgh. Very calm for a good night's sleep. Excellent modern shower in this historic house. Nice breakfast, always someone around for... More

Thank you, Macfie family, especially Max, for a very 'at home' stay in the perfect location - fantastic to be staying with you while doing concerts, too. Great chats over breakfast and my eggs were perfectly timed!

The stay at this house was really amazing. The house is full of history and has its own charisma. The rooms are just amazing and having a bath at the old bathtub (no shower) was a terrific experience. Our hosts did everything to please us and having breakfast each morning with them was always a charming experience.

I enjoyed my stay at the Stevenson House very much! Some points why this accommodation was one of the best I ever had: First, the Stevenson House is very well located, so it is a very good starting point to explore Edinburgh and most is within walking distance. The Heriot Row is an affluent neighborhood and you don´t have the... More

Yes indeed, there is nothing Hyde-like whatever about the marvelous Stevenson House. My partner and I were uplifted in so many ways by our stay here this New Year, and we dream of our return... Our room on the first floor - the very master bedroom of Robert Louis Stevenson's parents - was magical: a four-poster bed, a cathedral-like bathroom... More
