The first e-mail we received from Gerald after booking with him gave a hint about the service. It described in detail how to get to his apartment from the airport and he wrote "you should be here 8.00 pm if everything goes well". Exactly 8.00 pm we rang the door bell. And from there on everything was more than fine.... More

Here awaits the lucky traveller, beautiful accommodation decorated in a unique style throughout. The location in the Edinburgh New Town (circa 1820) is an architectural gem. It is minutes away from Princes Street and Waverly Stn., but provides a peaceful location for a restful night. The very comfortable bedroom is of generous proportions and the modern bathroom very clean. Gerald... More

Gerald could do no more for us. The room was lovely, clean, and the en-suite facilities brilliant. We ate good organic and varied foods for our breakfasts which set us up for the day. Gerald is charming - as well as a very good host. 21b is very near the town centre and train station - everything was easy to... More

Gerald's Place was our first stop in Scotland - and Gerald was defintely our nicest host on our trip. The rooms are in the souterain, but very comfortable and aesthetically furnished. The location of Gerald's Place is the best you can choose if you want to live near the modern heart of Edinburgh with all places in footwalk distances. It's... More

My mother and I were delighted with the warm reception and hospitality offered by Gerald. Our room was cosy and had all the amenities required.

WARM HOSPITALITY thank you Sue - it was a delight to welcome you and your octagenarian mother, Nora, to my b&b home : you had come an amazingly long way [as so many of my guests do], so the least I should do, would be to offer "warm hospitality" : glad you enjoyed the warming smal decanter [20cl] of Orkney...

Gerald is a most gracious and welcoming host. The room was chock full of every amenity. But it was Gerald's warmth and generosity that overwhelmed us. We felt more like we were staying with a long-time friend than just being in a bed and breakfast.
