The proprietor David was a lovely man. His breakfasts were tasty and delicious. Good B&B for an old-school stay. Old Georgian home so if you like a historic stay, this is it.

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Spylaw Bank House was our first night in UK. David our host was so keen to please and help us. We arrived late in the day and he booked us into a local restaurant for dinner, showed us to our room, explained everything we needed to know. We woke to the fresh and fragrant smell of the flora/trees outside our window. Our home cooked full breakfast was really good and fresh pressed coffee. Spylaw Bank House was easy to find, close the village, quiet and restful. Loved our stay.

8/10 Very good

Should be in contact with the host for how to park in front of the house because things are a bit tight. Historic house in a very cute part of town.
Frances, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An old Georgian mansion which has been updated with all of the most modern facilities. My room was thoroughly equipped with everything I could need - no reason at all to go to the bother of asking for anything at all. The breakfast was well prepared and offered a large variety - even for those picky vegan and vegetarian types. Very close by bus stops for transport either for town or back and forth from the airport. I also met friendly travelers from all over Europe at the breakfast table.

10/10 Exceptional

This property is a 1790 home converted for lodging with updated plumbing, electricity, and wifi. Breakfast was delicious and huge! The owner/host is the BEST. David is helpful and friendly for all the places to see in Edinburgh and how to get around. A bus stop is very close by for transportation down to the Royal Mile and back. A really nice pub is close with delicious fish and chips. The property has no lift, so you do have to carry your bags. It's also home to a delightful pup named Figgy and a gorgeous cat named Starry, so if you have animal allergies, this is not the place for you. But we LOVED it here and would absolutely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

The Spylaw Bank House is a gorgeous late-Georgian era (1780s) historic property with fully modern amenities. I visited with my daughter, and we found that it had the most comfortable beds & pillows we slept on during our entire vacation. Thanks to this, combined with its quiet surroundings, it provided us with the most restful stay we enjoyed during our trip to the UK. Its large, well-appointed rooms have plenty of storage space and power outlets. The full British breakfast is delicious. As an added bonus, the coffee is truly excellent (French-pressed). The host, David, is a talented conversationalist who is charming, engaging, welcoming, helpful, accommodating (e.g., we were late for breakfast) and very knowledgeable. He is a true polymath who will reward your curiosity on any topic that arises. It is conveniently located to downtown Edinburgh. We drove, and it's just 20 minutes from downtown. There are also public transportation options just a short walk away. It is also just a block away from a wonderful village. We found the people there to be tremendously welcoming. I cannot recommend this property highly enough, and I wall stay here again when I return to Edinburg.

Quality At Spylaw

Having forgotten about this reservation (made over a year ago in anticipation of the Tattoo), I would have missed it completely but for a call with a query from the host, David. I managed re rearrange my plans and I'm so glad I did. David is a charming host and made me feel so welcome. It was clear at breakfast that everyone shared this feeling. David took a genuine interest to ensure his guests had a positive trip to Edinburgh. Breakfast, whilst I'm on the subject was delicious with excellent proper coffee. My room was the master bedroom and didn't disappoint. The Superking bed was comfortable but the highlight was the exquisite bed linen. Similarly, the curtains which I drew at night, were heavy and lined; just beautiful. Having a proper teapot was a welcome surprise. Tea is so much better made properly so I really appreciated this with the matching crockery. The tea and coffee were quality brands. There was also a little fridge which would be handy for a longer stay for water, snacks or just to keep the champagne chilled. These little touches elevated the experience. The bathroom was large with everything I could need including cleansing pads, cotton buds and toiletries. What else can I say? I could snip about a bit of dust or some wear and tear here and there but this is to be expected with such a large and period property. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Spylaw. The city centre just 20 minutes on the 44 at the corner.
