Brilliant! Warm and cosy room, despite absolutely grotty weather outside.the bed was really comfortable with a great mattress and breakfast was fantastic. It was really good if out host to prepare it early for us, since we had to be up and off sharp. We also enjoyed meeting the in-house dog and cat ❤️

The owner is a welcoming, kind gentleman very accommodating about arrival and departure times. The place gives you a sense of staying in British B&Bs 50 years ago, that is, it’s definitely an older place, with some quirky, mismatched elements that can be charming. The important elements—bed, bedding, and bathroom—were clean and comfortable, and the place was affordable and convenient for driving to the airport early morning. We had to leave too early to be able to enjoy the well-reviewed breakfast. There were some parts of the room that were not particularly clean, especially a hair dryer that was sticky and, as a result, had bits of hair plastered all over it.

Had a lovely time at Spylaw and David was an excellent host. Breakfast was very good and plentyful. Parking was great as was the bus to get into Edinburgh. We stayed in the Robert room and suggest the following need attention to improve our view. The television did not work and apparently not for 30 days according to the error code, dust on the television and cabinet quite thick. Unfortnately the bathroom had black hair on the floor and dust on the shelf behind the toilet cistern. The towels were discoloured and very hard. These are suggestions only.

The bed was so comfortable after a long journey! The shower was hot and the neighborhood very quiet. We never knew other guests were here until our breakfast and David was very accommodating and gracious and we enjoyed dining with the other travellers. Breakfast was delicious and Figgy the spaniel made us feel very welcome as well!

The property is 18th century and rooms are huge and decor is in tune with building. So close to bus route to city. Bus approx every 15 mins to centre. Buses back all through the nught but less frequent. David was perfect host, explaining how to get to bus stop, given main door key for easy access whatever time you get back. We went to tattoo so were back late. Great sleep, lovely huge bed firm mattress. Coffee and tea in room. Breakfast was excellent, full scottish breakfasr and cereals yogurts, fruit juice, toast and lovely coffee. Highly recommend this place. Not big hotel, nice guest house, perfect. Ticked all the boxes. Thank you David. Caroline and paul. We stayed om 8 august 25

The hospitality was wonderful and David is very helpful and friendly. The room was cluttered and untidy, dusty and not looked after. The fridge wasn’t cleaned out from the last occupants. The room was not able to be secured when we left the premises which made it difficult to leave our valuables. A lot needs to be fixed to justify the price.
