Warm and cosy guest house.

We stayed at Blinkbonny house for two nights while visiting the Edinburgh Christmas markets. The house was clean and welcoming and the room was well equipped. It is a short bus ride to the centre of Edinburgh or walking distance of about half an hour. Our host was very helpful and friendly and we would certainly book again when we next visit.

Very Pleasent Stay

Location: Very close to the city but in a very quiet area.
Could not fault the accomodation or our hosts, very pleasent stay made better by Shaun and his lovely wife Rene, we will most certainly be booking again whenever we visit Edinburgh, nothing was too much trouble.

Wir wurden am Tag vor der Anreise gebeten eine Ankunftszeit anzugeben. Da wir eine über 4-stündige Fahrt vor uns hatten, war es schwierig eine genaue Angabe zu machen und unsere geplante Ankunft lag vor der üblichen check-in-zeit. Dennoch wurde die Uhrzeit vom Inhaber bestätigt. Bei unserer Ankunft war unser Zimmer nicht bereit obwohl wir 30 Min Verspätung hatten. Wir wurden rausgeschickt zum warten. Es wurde uns auch kein Getränk angeboten. Ausserdem wurde vorab kassiert und danach gefragt wann wir frühstücken wollen. Wir mussten am nächsten Tag früh los, daher hätten wir entsprechend früh frühstücken müssen. Es hiess, um diese Zeit gibt es noch kein Frühstück. Wir haben trotzdem den Preis für ein Zimmer mit Frühstück bezahlt, was ziemlich teuer für eine Nacht war. Die Matratze war etwas weich, aber das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber und Shaun war freundlich und bemüht als Gastgeber. Trotzdem war es ein verhältnismäßig teurer Spass.
