It is hard to think of anything new to say about Gerald's Place, but then maybe that is a good thing! We were greeted at the door and from that moment on we felt most welcome. The room was very comfortable with every possible need anticipated. I especially enjoyed climbing into the big bathtub after a long day of travel... More

What a fantastic B&B. It's an excellent location from where you can walk to all the major attractions in the old and new town. The rooms are extremely comfortable, warm and beautifully decorated. It is the attention to detail that really stands out - each room even has it's own laptop! However, the real X Factor is Gerald himself. It... More

Its all been said before, but Geralds place is just the best B & B experience ever. Gerald is a wonderful man who met me at the door on a wet and very windy day with a kiss and I immediately felt welcome. Gerald knows what it is B & B users want and our 2 night stay was delightful.... More

It's very difficult to find anything new to say about Gerald's Place - it has all be said before! However, I would like to repeat everything once again. Gerald is the most wonderfully hospitable host I have ever met. My husband, my sister and brother-in-law and I have just spent an amazing five nights over Hogmanay with Gerald. It is... More

It is often said of property that 'Location, location, location' is everything. This B and B certainly has that with it;s easy access to train transport and the airport terminal the shop, the views. It also has comfortable rooms and bath plus a truly outstanding breakfast. Other fine B an B's may have these features too but they don't have... More

I have been in many B&B and hotels in my life and I haven´t feel in any of them like in Gerald´s. We had a great room with all the details that you can imagine. It was extremely clean and the bed was really comfortable but the best of all is the way Gerald makes you feel: not a guest... More

Gerald's Place is the best! My husband and 2 children (17 and 20) recently stayed at Gerald's our first visit to Edinburgh. The location, hospitality, and accommodations couldn't have been better. From our first email, Gerald was more than gracious, with generous and helpful suggestions for everything including dining, sites to see, and general tips to make it a better... More

Staying with Gerald is like nothing we've experienced in a B&B before. The sense of welcoming can only be compared to staying with a favourite member of your own family. Gerald is an incredibly hospitable host and will simply do anything you need. The room we stayed in was extremely comfortable fitted with the biggest bed we've ever slept in... More

From the momemt we booked Gerald's place we were not disappointed. Before we arrived Gerald emailed us with a wealth of information on making our trip to Edinburgh comfortable and enjoyable. We were traveling with our family of 5 adults and couldn't wait for breakfast as Gerald had prepared homemade bread, fresh juices, yogurt, jams, a full Scottish breakfast all... More
