Spylaw Bank House

I enjoyed my stay there very much. The man who runs the bed and breakfast was a very kind and generous man.  Great value for the money!Paul from Canada

This was the ideal place for my two week stay in Scotland. The location was perfect because it is within walking distance of my sister's home and close to bus stops that take you everywhere in the area. David was a delightful host and I felt very welcome and comfortable.

David was a fantastic B&B host. Very attentive and provided a lovely breakfast on the morning of New Year’s Day. Easy to get into the city centre with a few regular bus options. Would recommend staying here!

A fantastic stay, friendly owners, good food and a very comfy Georgian bed !

Great place and great host! David was kind and knowledgeable. The house was clean and full of interesting bits. Starry the cat was my favourite!

Big room, David is an amazing owner5 minutes walk to the bus that brings you right in the middle of the cityEverything was perfect

Great hotel, friendly family run.David, the host, was lovely,  will definitely return when next in Edinburgh.Parking on site, £10 gets you into central Edinburgh by taxi. Close to bus routes also

Lovely, elegant old home in a quiet neighborhood.  The only problem was that   I didn’t do a good job of getting arrival instructions.  The bus from the city stops nearby but then, in the dark, it was a little tricky to find.  The room and bath were very comfortable and welcoming.  I had to leave early but I’m sure breakfast would have been nice.  Btw, Uber doesn’t come to your exact location - be sure you figure their location out - again, I was doing that in the dark of early morning.  Figure the location issues out before you go and you are sure to have a lovely stay!!

the owner was lovely and everything was very well priced

Lovely place!!!

We only stayed one night whilst visiting family but would definitely go back. David was lovely, so friendly and helpful. The room we had was huge and the bed very comfy. Quiet room and not too hot. There was an additional heater and loads of blankets though if  you were cold. I don't like a warm room.Breakfast was cooked to order and lots of healthy options too.Beautiful house.

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.

Having forgotten about this reservation (made over a year ago in anticipation of the Tattoo), I would have missed it completely but for a call with a query from the host, David. I managed re rearrange my plans and I'm so glad I did. David is a charming host and made me feel so welcome.  It was clear at breakfast that everyone shared this feeling.   David took a genuine interest to ensure his guests had a positive trip to Edinburgh. Breakfast, whilst I'm on the subject was delicious with excellent proper coffee.   My room was the master bedroom and didn't disappoint.   The Superking bed was comfortable but the highlight was the exquisite bed linen.  Similarly, the curtains which I drew at night, were heavy and lined; just beautiful. Having a proper teapot was a welcome surprise.  Tea is so much better made properly so I really appreciated this with the matching crockery.  The tea and coffee were quality brands. There was also a little fridge which would be handy for a longer stay for water, snacks or just to keep the champagne chilled.  These little touches elevated the experience.   The bathroom was large with everything I could need including cleansing pads, cotton buds and toiletries.   What else can I say? I could snip about a bit of dust or some wear and tear here and there but this is to be expected with such a large and period property.  I would definitely recommend a stay at the Spylaw.   The city centre just 20 minutes on the 44 at the corner.

Quality At Spylaw

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.

Used the property as a weekend stay for the rugby.An old listed building, property (quirky)owned by a fantastic host, David.A comfortable room, en suite and an excellent freshly cooked breakfast.The location was good, bus stop to Edinburgh 100 yards, a short walk to Colinton village where there was 2 pubs and 2 italian restuarants..i opted for Dantes, highly recommended plus a Coop.Simply, the property met my needs and more...completely different... not a 5* hotel but a welcoming " home from home".It made a change , just perfect.Thank you, David.

This is a lovely B&B with great transport links into the centre. David is an absolutely wonderful host. So accommodating and friendly, he really made the stay so lovely. I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quintessential Scottish experience. The house is a lovely period property, and the bed is sooo comfy!! I had such a great sleep. David made the breakfast to order and it tasted wonderful. He took my dietary requirements on board. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent, great hospitality

It’s was definitely a warm homely feeling. Very comfortable and inviting.  The gentleman who owns the place was friendly and polite… and also not too chatty, which is perfect.   One doesn’t want one’s ear talked off.  It was the perfect stay.  I felt like I could live in the room forever.  Beautiful old world charm that you will never find in a Hilton, etc.   will stay again!!!

Feels like a place I would want to live in.

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.

Absolutely loved this place and would stay again if in the area. David did everything he could to be accommodating when I turned up earlier than expected.  His breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent. The bed is exceptionally comfortable.  He has also provided so many extras that he doesn't need to provide.
