One of the best places to stay in Edinburgh! Spotlessly clean and nicely decorated rooms in a wonderful old house. Good and quiet location (about 10 minutes walk to Princess street/George street). Derrick is a wonderful host and he and his two lovely cats (Lola and Mimi) give you a very warm welcome. Delicious breakfast. We will definitely go back... More

Just returned from our first vist to Edinburgh, easily got to from the South on the very scenic East Coast Service. Lovely city...too much to see in four full days but the highlights were the Botanical Gardens, the Royal Yacht, the Kings Theatre production, meals at First Coast and La Bruschetta and last but by no means least Allburys. Derrick... More

Spent two nights here earlier this year and can't say enough good things! Lovely room with our own separate living room, delicious breakfasts with the best coffee and not to mention our charming host - Derrick! Great location for the city centre too. Highly recommend this delightful place.

My husband and I stayed in Allburys for five nights and we had a really pleasant stay. Derrick, the owner, took such good care of us in an extraordinary friendly way. Everything was perfect, the breakfasts, the familiar feeling, the room, as well as the location. For a middle aged couple, like us, this is the perfect choice!

My wife and I were given a present of two nights staying at Allburys. We were greeted at the door by Derrick and he made us feel at home at once. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the room we stayed in was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Having a fridge was a bonus as it kept our complementary bottle of... More

On a very chilly weekend in Edinburgh, Allburys was a lovely retreat to relax and re charge the batteries. Its a lovely change to have room had everything you need with the added extra of a fridge with drinks, really nice touch in a boutique B&B. Having the separate lounge with the stunning Edinburgh views, tv and music was a... More

We stayed at Allburys as part of a Groupon deal for 2 nights including breakfast and sparkling wine but we upgraded to the Robin suite for £30 per night extra. From the moment we arrived at the entrance and met Derrick we knew this would be something special. The location is excellent, very quiet, within easy walking distance from Haymarket... More

From the minute we arrived for our 2 day break , the owner Derrick made us feel very welcome. The room and bathroom were gorgeous, the bed and bedding was sumptuous - the little touches like the flowers, sweets in the mini bar and even make up remover wipes made this feel more than a great wee hotel. Breakfast was... More

Stayed here over new year. Situated on a quiet cul de sac in a good location. It's first class all the way from the service to the exquisite rooms. Derek the owner makes you feel like your at home. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Super little touches like his and her robes to milk and water in... More
