Staying here was one of the best decisions we made when planning our trip to Edinburgh! The inn feels miles away from all the chaos of the Royal Mile, yet it is just a short cab ride away. There were only two nights available during our dates in the city, but we are so happy we spent them at Barony House. If you’re reading this, you have probably read plenty of other reviews here, so I’ll just list what stood out to us (couple traveling from the states in our mid-60s). As already mentioned, the location is excellent…away from the busy city center, but only a short cab ride (or bus trip) away Pristine cleanliness…in all areas The breakfasts were, without a doubt, the best we experienced during our whole 11 day trip. The dining room is adorable, and it was so handy being able to place our order via the QR code on the back of the door in our room. Everything we tried was top notch, and it was nice to have so many choices. This is where we tried haggis for the first time, and it was the best of the trip! As Americans, seeing that French press coffee pot being delivered to our table was a memorable moment. We had suffered poor coffee in the three days leading up to checking in here! Everything - entrees, yogurt, fresh bead for toast, coffee, juice, butter and jam was perfect! Overall hospitality and travel advice - The days we were there, the weather was cool and damp. Entering our room to see the warm, cozy blankets and hospitality tray (handmade mugs, assortment of teas, hot chocolate, milk, sugar, and treats) warmed our hearts. The spread of information from the innkeepers sharing suggestions for things to do and nearby restaurant suggestions was most welcome (be sure to check out the Old Bell Inn pub within walking distance…great place for dinner and a few pints, but be sure to go early, as the kitchen closes by 8:00 PM and it gets very crowded). In addition, Paul is more than willing to help you plan your activities and sightseeing. With us, he was spot-on in his suggestions. Without his advice, we would have missed Craigmillar Castle and the John Knox House - two of our favorites. Truly, our stay at Barony House was one of the highlights of our trip, and we will definitely be back!
