Falcon Crest Guest House

Exceptionally clean, newly renovated basic room with flat screen tv and towel warmer. On a quiet residential street that’s a 15 minute bus ride from the center of Edinburgh.

We stayed at this guest house to visit the Military Tattoo and Fringe in August. The couple who own it are so welcoming and friendly. They gave us lots of information on the area, bus routes etc. The hotel is a 30 min pleasant walk to the City centre, the last 10 mins is uphill but nothing too strenuous. There’s a bus stop at the top of the street with buses running regularly into the centre and it’s £2 each way so a great option. There is also a walking/cycle path right beside the guest house which goes off in various directions (Ferry Road Path) We walked the path for around 30 mins to Royal Yacht Britannia in Leith then took the tram into Edinburgh city centre, again £2. We had a lovely double room at the top of the guest house with the usual shower, tv, tea & coffee and lovely shortbread. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed comfy. We ordered breakfast for the following morning which consisted of cereal, fruit, yoghurt, bacon, eggs,sausage, beans, rolls, toast. It was absolutely huge and beautiful, perfect eggs. I changed my portion to small for the following morning as it really was huge All in all a lovely place with great friendly owners. A great option if you want to be just outside the city but on a great bus route. Will definitely return.

Absolute lovely stay! The most welcome host and hostess; very friendly, always in for a chat and tips. Very clean and tidy rooms, coffee, tea, fresh milk and shortbread always available. Parking space in the street and some on site. And very dogfriendly!
