Our stay at this hotel was a delight, highlighted by the cleanliness of the rooms and the exceptional breakfast options.

I had a great experience at Craigmillar Guest House, which is conveniently located with easy transport options into the city. The rooms were absolutely spotless and very spacious, making my stay comfortable. The service from Craig was truly exceptional; he made me feel right at home. However, I wasn't able to enjoy breakfast as much as I wanted since I had plans in the city early on. Overall, the value for money was excellent.
