Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Away from the city centre — While the location is quiet, it's not central—you'll need to walk or take a short bus ride to reach Edinburgh's main attractions.
- No pets allowed — The property has a no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with a pet.
- Smoke-free property — Smoking is not permitted anywhere on site, which may be a limitation for smokers.
- Public parking not specified — There's no information about on-site parking, so travellers driving to the B&B may need to find street parking.
