The accommodation was very clean, well furnished and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was of an excellent standard with good choices and exceptionally well presented with quality accessories.

My husband and I stayed here over the long weekend while on a mini break to Edinburgh. Browns B&B was an excellent choice of accomodation- really lovely and cosy rooms, very clean, great breakfast selection, central and very warm welcoming hosts! Its no more than 10 mins walk to the city centre. Would highly recommend!

We booked two rooms for four of us and both were nice and clean (even one of them has an odd toilet design, but that wasn't a major problem). Breakfast was also very nice. Just one suggestion is that Browns can consider improving the wi-fi set up as it is not working very well, especially at night. We always got... More

We were a group of 3 girls visiting Edinburgh to watch Wales v Scotland. After a long journey we arrived at Browns & had a lovely welcome from Marion & her husband.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for a belated anniversary weekend. The room was lovely and totally spotless. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast both days was fabulous. Chosen from a menu, we got to pick exactly what we were in the mood for and it was cooked perfectly. Thanks again.

We stayed at Brown's for a conference. The room was clean and comfortable. Great location. However, we found the owners to be somewhat rigid. We were the only guests at the time and yet it appeared to be too difficult to accommodate our breakfast time in order to get to the conference on time. We ended up skipping breakfast and... More
