Very homely and welcoming. Great value for money considering that its short distance to the city centre. In comparison to the other guest houses within its vicinity, the Crauchan is clean, quiet and relaxing with very hospitable staff. Having read the other reviews, the Cauchan exceeds one's expectations. It appears that fellow reviewers fail to take into account that it... More

We stayed for a week-end at Cruachan and have only praise for the time spent there. The staff were so helpful with all our needs. The advice on restaurants was perfect as we had a wonderful night at "Leven's" where the food was superb. Breakfast had a great choice and I loved the salmon fishcakes. Graham and Julie were good...

Very helpful and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome and it was not a problem when we had to change our booking 3 times due to flight problems. Delicious cooked breakfasts always get extra points:-). Short walking distance to City Center so its ideal for shopping trips or taking in a show.

My husband and I stayed here in October 2012 for 2 nights. I telephoned well in advance to book the double ensuite and informed the owner Graham that we were both vegetarian and went through the type of things we can eat at breakfast. On arrival, there was no-one there to meet us. We ran the bell twice and had... More

Coffee maker sits on the floor, we got only one key and the heater leaked water the whole floor was wet. Breakfast was okay. 60 pounds a night... More

Cruachan was recommended by another Guest House that was full. We arrived to a very warm welcome and were shown into a beautiful room. Everything was provided. The room was clean, bright and spacious and decorated with style and superb taste. Graham was the perfect host and couldn't do enough to help us. We needed a room for two-nights and... More

Edinburgh was the first stop on our trip and we were welcomed by Graham, our Innkeeper. We had a nice large room at the front of the house on the first floor. We seemed very close to all the places we wanted to see; Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood, The National Museum, and Rosslyn Chapel. Everything was a short bus ride away.... More

I reserved a room at Cruachan at the last minute, as my other accommodation fell through. The room, a ground-floor single, was small and very basic, with a worn-out mattress, a TV placed so that there was always glare on the screen, and a window that looked directly into the breakfast room (not much privacy). But it was clean and... More

We stayed for four days in June and had a great time. Graham and the staff were so very friendly and helpful. It was really fun at breakfast with Lorna and Graham who both seem to enjoy themselves. It is a short walk to most places we wanted to go so no taxis needed. Our room was really nice with... More
