Brae Guesthouse is a little ways out of downtown Edinburgh but just a 10-minute ride on a bus that goes by often. The owner was very nice and extremely helpful. I stayed there at the end of a trip in which numerous things had gone wrong, not least of which was having my wallet and phone stolen. The owner was more than kind and supportive, and made sure my stay was enjoyable. I highly recommend this property.

It's quite a distance away from any activities if you are coming to Edinburgh for Fringe Festival. But the staff is responsive, it just wasn't an ideal location for me.

Disappointed as reports saying Excellent ion my opinion it was very average, no mention of self check in, parking was on the street only. No breakfast available. Not sure that I like having a private Bathroom, I would prefer an ensuite to the room.

A wonderful B&B to stay and relax.
This was the second bed and breakfast my family stayed at in Scotland. Our first was a self catering, which means all food is your responsibility, so we were hoping for a better experience. I have to say that the Brae House was amazing. It’s a converted home to a B&B, but there was enough room for my family of four. The owner was super friendly and helpful. The check in was seamless and when we had any issues, my wife accidentally tripped a breaker, he fixed it without any frustration. The rooms are quiet and comfortable. It’s close to a bus stop, so getting to the city center was very easy. I would definitely stay there again.

Weekend stay
We booked the family room for a weekend. The host was very accommodating as we have arrived way earlier than expected and were allowed to check in and rest. Also, we had diet requirements and the host was happy to cater for.

Room and bathroom clean and comfortable, breakfast fine - host worked to accommodate my dietary requirements but to say there is free parking is a bit crafty as there is no car park but find your own on-street parking somewhere nearby

Det man förväntar sig
Bra boende. Rent. Nära till buss. Supertrevlig personal. Bra kommunikation innan man kommer dit. Ok pris. Nära Arthur's seat vilket var kul. Absolut inget krångel.

Einfache und ruhige Unterkunft, sehr freundlich
Der Besitzer war immer sehr hilfsbereit - sei es bei einer späten Ankunft oder als ich mein Gepäck nach dem Auschecken noch dort lassen wollte oder sonst etwas brauchte. Das Zimmer und Bad waren tadellos sauber bei meiner Ankunft. Sie wurden nicht jeden Tag gereinigt, aber das ist aus meiner Sicht auch nicht nötig. Die Unterkunft war sehr ruhig. Das Frühstück war für mich nicht ideal. Es gab zahlreiche süße Gebäckteile und gezuckertes Müsli sowie Marmelade. Aber wenn man etwas wollte, das nicht süß ist, blieb nur Toast mit Käse, und das 5 Tage lang.

Molto gentile e disponibile il proprietario che si è fatto in quattro per risolverci un piccolo problema di sistemazione. Buona e abbondante la colazione continentale. Struttura comoda per raggiungere il centro con i mezzi pubblici ma anche con una bella passeggiata.
