The proprietor David was a lovely man. His breakfasts were tasty and delicious. Good B&B for an old-school stay. Old Georgian home so if you like a historic stay, this is it.

Our stay at Spylaw Bank House was our first night in UK. David our host was so keen to please and help us. We arrived late in the day and he booked us into a local restaurant for dinner, showed us to our room, explained everything we needed to know. We woke to the fresh and fragrant smell of the flora/trees outside our window. Our home cooked full breakfast was really good and fresh pressed coffee. Spylaw Bank House was easy to find, close the village, quiet and restful. Loved our stay.

Should be in contact with the host for how to park in front of the house because things are a bit tight. Historic house in a very cute part of town.

An old Georgian mansion which has been updated with all of the most modern facilities. My room was thoroughly equipped with everything I could need - no reason at all to go to the bother of asking for anything at all. The breakfast was well prepared and offered a large variety - even for those picky vegan and vegetarian types. Very close by bus stops for transport either for town or back and forth from the airport. I also met friendly travelers from all over Europe at the breakfast table.

This property is a 1790 home converted for lodging with updated plumbing, electricity, and wifi. Breakfast was delicious and huge! The owner/host is the BEST. David is helpful and friendly for all the places to see in Edinburgh and how to get around. A bus stop is very close by for transportation down to the Royal Mile and back. A really nice pub is close with delicious fish and chips. The property has no lift, so you do have to carry your bags. It's also home to a delightful pup named Figgy and a gorgeous cat named Starry, so if you have animal allergies, this is not the place for you. But we LOVED it here and would absolutely stay again.
