Six Brunton Place Guest House

Guest house with a faded shine and more appearance than substance. Apart from the heating, which should be vented, checking the electrical installations (e.g. in the bathroom) and other minor repairs, the homepage is far from reality, and we also found the housekeeper inauthentic. Our advice: don't let the overly positive reviews influence you, unfortunately we made that mistake.

This guest house is everything anyone could hope to find for a stay, owned and run flawlessly by an exceptional, talented and thoughtful woman, Hilary. The townhouse is charmingly designed and decorated by Hilary. She always goes the extra mile to create the perfect visit. The bed, pillows and bedding are all so comfortable. The breakfasts and choices are perfect and delicious. There are many added touches such as complimentary small bottles of wine, a daily fresh, glass water bottle in the room, a change of towels every day and more. The location is quiet, but a good walk to many of the Edinburgh sights. I had a 6-day, stress-free, enjoyable time here!!! Thank you very much for all your warm hospitality, Hilary!!!

Fantastic Guest House with a great host! The house felt very homely with a well equipped and clean room, with comfy bed and large bathroom. Breakfast was delightful with great options to choose from. Location was great, with a short walk into the new town and around a 20 min walk into the old town. Would definitely return!

Six Brunton Place is an amazing place to stay. The property is beautiful and elegant and although the Courtyard room is 'cosy', it was very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious, with a full size bath and separate shower. There is a kettle, and a coffee machine, in the room, plus a TV that links to Sky. (Not that we had time to watch it!) The breakfast room/lounge had a lovely log burner which we sat beside, to enjoy a complimentary glass of wine, before going out to the theatre. Which was only 15 minutes walk away. Breakfast was freshly cooked and delicious, but must be ordered the night before. There was also an excellent choice of cereals, fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries etc. The host was extremely friendly and helpful. We definitely hope to return for another stay.

Beautiful old property five minutes from the hustle and bustle of the town, really enjoyed our stay!

Absolutely perfect. Hillary and staff made our experience exceptional, from the amenities in the room to the delicious breakfasts. Book the garden room for a breath of fresh air and garden to yourself!

Hilary is a wonderful host. The room was thoughtfully designed for guests including touches like tissues, bubble bath gel for taking a relaxing soak in the tub, little biscuits, wine...and the most delicious breakfasts. Can't recommend enough!

Hillary was the perfect host to this lovely, historic place! It is truly a beautiful, welcoming place. Wonderful accommodations with the best soaking tub ever! Breakfasts were great in the quaint dining space. We loved the garden outback. Surely will stay here again!

I contacted the host the day prior to our arrival asking if we could drop our bags off earlier than the check-in time, eg 12.00noon with the official check-in being 3.00pm. The reply was that would not a problem and as she was not going to be home until 6.00pm, just ring the door bell and the cleaner would let us in. Also, our room would be ready for us. The room we had was very comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast selection was great and very nice too. The location of the guest house good as only about 15 minutes walk from the main centre of Edinburgh. Also, there was a nice reasonably priced bar/restaurant almost across the road.
