Guest Reviews

• Judith (10/5): Sehr netter Kontakt mit Caroline & Michael. -
• Marisa (2/5): Awful, false advertisement - Simple breakfast included, I was asked what I'dlike to eat. Upon arriving the room was very cold, I was provided with a hot water bottle which was not enough and upon second request I was provided with a portable heater since the central heating would be turned off. The room was not clean, there was dust and black mold around the window, signs of mold on the ceiling and abnormally cold, clearly the room had no heating on for a long period of time and took very long to heat up. On my second night, the water went cold in the middle of my shower at 9:30 pm. I had no success contacting the couple who live in the same house, tried over the phone and knocked on the door. After over 30 min, Michael came up, said he turned it off and rather than apologising he was rude saying they'd never had a problem before. The bedsheets did not smell clean and especially the pillows were in a really bad condition. The ad shows photos of a nice bathtub but it doesn't mention that they do not allow the guest to use it. Bathroom also advertised as private but not private at all, on a corridor away from the room and had obvious signs of use by someone different. The price felt extortionate for what I got, I would not recommend this property.
• Heidi Rørvik (8/5): - Kjempefin beliggenhet. Det rosa rommet var koselig. Personalet veldig hyggelig og hjelpsomme. Vi hadde varmt vann, varmt og rent rom
• Claudia (9/5): -
• Flavio (10/5): Special experience - For the kindness, attention and warmth of home, we are very grateful. Special place to recommend
• Andrew (4/5): Unsatisfied and underwhelming - Friendly staff. Good location away from the main parts of the city. The bathroom was quiet dusty and looked like it had only been cleaned where eyes will definitely look, the toilet rocked. and the bath you couldn’t use and also needed a good clean. Our bed room, the lighting in our room at night was not great. And there was dust on most of surfaces. For the money I paid I wasn’t expecting a red carpet but I expected it to be clean and faultless but it felt a bit unloved in areas.
• Rachael (9/5): -
• Sue (5/5): A comfortable stay that had it been £120 per night would have been value for money - Breakfast was alright staff were friendly and welcoming.Bed comfortable pillows were huge and heavy. The price especially for the cosy room was quite extortionate really. A proper mirror in the room would have been useful.
• Genevieve (8/5): - Cozy Attic room with enough room for a family of 4!
• Martina (8/5): -
• Ann (8/5): -
• tanya (10/5): -
• Raphaël (10/5): -
• Berberich (10/5): -
• Maureen (8/5): Friendly hosts with attention to comfort details. - Walking distance to town.
• Joan (9/5): Ideal place to stay near Murrayfield - Very quiet, warm and comfortable, run by a really charming couple. It was quite tricky to find in the dark.
• Kathy (8/5): It enjoyed a very comfortable stay, but would have preferred being closer to the tourist attractions. - The hosts Michael & Caroline were absolutely lovely and accommodating in every way! 😊 It was a bit remote (in a suburban neighborhood) and not within close range to any modern amenities like restaurants/cafes/grocery. It was an approximately 25 minute walk to a grocery store, and equally, toward downtown Edinburgh. Dean Village was the closest tourist area, approximately 20 minutes walk - just for reference. It was a 45-50 minute walk to the Castle. 🏰
• Susan C (8/5): Mum & Son at Carmichael - The hosts, Caroline & Michael, were extremely welcoming, attentive, and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they went out of their way to accommodate their guests. It was a lovely experience to share breakfast and conversation with other visitors, too. A very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There was nothing major, really. We had no milk in the room for a cup of tea on arrival, but we didn't mention it on the night because we'd arrived very late in the evening, and Michael had already stayed up late to welcome us. I found the kettle awkward to handle because it was located behind the TV. Otherwise, the room was excellent. (Milk was available the following day!).

• Luca (10/5): Amazing! - Bellissima casa, il signor Mike veramente gentile, simpatico e disponibile! Colazione buonissima
• Samantha (10/5): Went to see Oasis at the Gas Murrayfield Stadium just a 20 minute walk from the venue just loved the whole experience - Beautiful house in gorgeous surroundings and fantastic hosts Fabulous hosts
• Aurelien (8/5): Pause à Édimbourg - Mike et Caroline sont charmants. L’endroit est jolie dans un quartier calme.
• Angelika (8/5): Sehr angenehm und empfehlenswert 🤩 - Die Vermieter sind beide sehr freundlich und bemüht um alle Gäste. Bei Problemen und Fragen darf man sich jederzeit an sie wenden und sie helfen gerne. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker-vegetarisch sollte vorher angemeldet werden, sonst gibt’s für jeden Speck und Würstel 😄 Jogurt mit frischem Obst war für mich das Highlight 😋 Liegt in einem ruhigen und gepflegten Randviertel von Edinburgh. Zu den Linien 31,26-fahren regelmäßig in die Innenstadt geht man ca 10 Minuten. Wasserkocher mit schwarzem Tee und Instantkaffee auf dem Zimmer 🫖
• Jörg (10/5): - Mike and Caroline are great hosts. They made us feel right at home. Caroline prepared a fantastic breakfast. It is an approx. 2 miles nice walk to the Castle.
• Dorothy (9/5): Neat and tidy accommodations in quiet residential neighborhood. - Living space for three was adequate. For a three day stay a microwave and mini fridge would be helpful.
• Atakan (10/5): Incredibly comfortable and welcoming. Highly recommended. - I had a truly wonderful stay, it felt just like home. The place was incredibly comfortable and cozy, and I instantly felt at ease. Caroline and Carmichael were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Their thoughtful and warm hospitality made my stay extra special. The breakfast was absolutely lovely, especially the delicious scrambled eggs :) Highly recommended!
• Chris (8/5): Very good -
• Antony (8/5): Very good - Great hosts, good location especially for the rugby stadium and a nice walk into the city centre. Hadn’t realised the room I booked whilst having a private bathroom, the bathroom was down the hallway. Perhaps my fault for not checking the room details.
• Jean (10/5): Will be staying there again, when next going to Murrayfield. Or looking for a good sized family room in Edinburgh. - Large but homely house. Made to feel very welcome by Michael and Caroline. Even gave good advice with parking, as the car park was full. Nice breakfast with lots of choice. Large family style table for breakfast so got chance to chat with other guests. We were all going to same concert. Beds very comfy and large beautifully kept garden. Opened the window, and Got to hear the sound check in Murrayfield , the night before, was so close. Ideal walking distance. No towels, but none stated on booking, I just didn’t read it properly. Easily solved as lots of local shops nearby. Garden gate was difficult for me to lift as has a broken hinge, but hubby managed ok.
• Elaine (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect! The owners are very helpful and obliging and are genuinely lovely people
• Michael (10/5): Very nice - Froendly and helpful. Close to downtown Toilet rocks a bit
• Shannon (6/5): Was ideal for a one night stay. - Room was cozy and not too small. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. TV in the room was quite small and had no cable so did not pick up any channels. Signage for the property could be clearer.
• Dean (8/5): Very good -
• Claire (9/5): Superb -
• Anthony (5/5): Disappoimtin - WfI didn't work upstairs. Breakfast served on too small a plate with some sort of potato thing that tasted like cardboard. No lounge to sit in.
• Murdoch (9/5): Very enjoyable - Great breakfast and lovely room at the top of the house. Slower wifi
• Drew (10/5): Charming B&B with warm hospitality and delicious breakfast! - Exceptional hosts. The second you walk in it feels welcoming and it feels like you are home. Great breakfast.The location is accessible by multiple buses routes and it takes you down town in no time. Lovely neighborhood.
• Robert (10/5): Our first B&B and it was perfect. Quiet, clean, breakfast, beautiful shower, comfortable bed. - Quiet and clean.
• Feddo (9/5): Superb - We had a great stay and Mike and Caroline were perfect hosts!
• Denise (10/5): Exceptional -
• Purvi (1/5): The scariest and the most horrible travel experience of my life. The host, Spl the old woman is a rasist, rude and aggre - The most horrific stay of my life. The host is racist, very aggressive and greedy. The property is not what they show on the booking.com They write private bathroom but it’s not, it’s across the floor. They are showing jacuzzi bath tub but it’s not working. I had to change the hotel in just 3 hours.
• Antonius (9/5): Superb - 1Great atmosphere, quite nice neighbourhood. Great easy walkway to reach the centre, about 20 minutes. Great cooked breakfast, friendly owners. Noise from other rooms, not really bad, but present.

• Stephania (10/5): Amazing hosts, great place near to the Murrayfield stadium - It was so close to the Murrayfield Stadium which truly was a blessing. We stayed there during the three nights of T. Swift concert and to be able to walk from and to the venue lifted a huge weight of our shoulders. Mike and Caroline (if I remember correctly) were so kind, and such great hosts. The breakfast was amazingly delicious. The rooms and beds were super comfy, and overall was a rather pleasant experience. Thank you so much! Everything was perfect, to be honest.
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional - We began our visit to Scotland at Carmichael B&B, and what a wonderful beginning! Carmichael is so lovely and comfortable. The landscaping, especially the flowers, was beautiful. Michael & Caroline are delightful hosts and were very helpful. We enjoyed hearing about their home and family. Our Scottish breakfasts were delicious, and we enjoyed porridge and potato scones, as well as everything they served!

• Emma (8/5): Lovely B&B, would recommend - Lovely and comfortable stay at Carmichael, the hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable and the location was ideal as we were looking for somewhere peaceful to stay with great public transport links in to the city centre. Breakfast plentiful and delicious, we looked forward to filling up each morning! Our stay was a mixture of sightseeing and my husband taking a language exam and the good news is we just found out he passed. Would recommend this B&B, many thanks again :)

• Dowrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anne (9/5): Good location, good food, comfy beds and nice hosts. - The location was in a lovely neighborhood within a 25 minute walk to town. You could also walk 10 minutes to a bus stop, or about that to get a meal. The B&B was very homey and made a nice home base between our overnite Scotland tours. There really wasn't anything worth mentioning that I didn't like.
• Helen (7/5): Property suited our needs location-wise, and we would possibly return, but to a different room. - Hosts were welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good, and parking was good. Having to climb into a huge corner bath in order to have a shower. Would have felt safer in a traditional shower tray. Hair dryer needs de-fluffing

• Stephanie (8/5): a wonderful relaxing base for a city break - Mike and his wife Caroline were extremely welcoming and helpful. They made our stay very pleasant with delicious Scottish breakfasts every morning, great advice on buses and even booking our taxi for the airport for us. Nothing

• Audrey (10/5): A perfect place for a weary, homesick traveler. - It’s and absolutely adorable place, both homey and elegant. The couple running the place are super sweet and friendly. It almost feels like a stay at my grandparents’ house, in the best possible ways. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was heavenly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Edinburgh. It isn’t super close to what one would consider the city center, but that doesn’t detract from the stay at all.
