Pet friendly hotel in Edinburgh

“A very beautiful and quaint restaurant with amazing customer service served with a smile. Very dog friendly too and Poppy Dog got treats and plenty of friendly pats. Everything was lovely, the food, the decor and even the toilets. The food was amazing and well presented, so thanks to the Chef and a wee walk around the beautiful village to finish it off. A beautiful place to go to.”

“First of all, the location is fantastic. It's right across from St. Giles Cathedral and is always crowded. As a woman, walking alone at night or early in the morning wasn't a problem. The rooms and restrooms are very clean. The bunk beds have curtains, like capsules, which is great for privacy. All the staff are very sweet and friendly. As a woman traveling alone, I felt very comfortable and safe. However, it's an expensive hostel. Not so budget-friendly. The cafe/restaurant part isn't exactly a common area, so you can't comfortably eat or drink what you buy from outside.”

“We arrived for a family birthday celebration ( 13 of us ) and from the start to finish it was the best dining experience we have had, the staff are fantastic and the food was 10/10. Think some of these so called top Edinburgh restaurants need to have a look at how to look after people like this. Well done all !”

“We had an amazing stay at The Knight Residence by Mansley. The rooms are quiet and rather well-maintained, and the apartment was spacious enough for a family of four. The apartment comes with a washing machine, which is ideal for those who wish to stay longer here. Although it’s a bit warm at night due to the recent heat wave, the helpful staff supplied us with an electric fan to cool the apartment down.”

“Dene Guest House was wonderful. Besides the place being immaculate, Hamish and his amazing Spanish wife were extremely friendly and accommodating. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed the quiet and tranquility of the neighborhood. The shared bathroom was never a problem - we almost never had to wait. As budget travelers, we highly appreciated the free cereal, coffee and fridge available to us. Would definitely return.”

“Underrated hotel! The room was huge, had a big bathtub, a double bed, a bunk bed, and even a couch — all for just £100. Super good value. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location’s great too, just a short walk to the tram station and about 25 minutes to the city center. Also loved having my own fridge and access to a 24-hour kitchen. Would definitely stay again.”

“I used woodside to board my dog for a day while I attended the Scottish Open. Great facility, good rules in place and friendly helpful staff.”

“Lovely little canal boat to spend a night in Edinburgh. Situated within walking distance of the city centre, the accommodation was clean and comfortable.”

“Good facility - staff seem friendly and engaged with dogs. Very polite woof van driver and owner Danielle always happy to answer any queries. They take dogs of all sizes it seems, but keep them separated by size/age/temperament. The area where the dogs are is secure and there’s loads of space for them to run around. My puppy really enjoys it. He goes straight to sleep when he’s back home! The only minus is the location if you’re not driving, as getting there by public transport is a mission. They do offer pick up van service though, but you have to book in advance and via email.”

“I stayed in the Juniperlea Inn for 1 night this week. I found the staff and owner very helpful and lovely to deal with. Food was to a very good standard, room was lovely and well presented. Although the main road is nearby the room itself was quiet and you couldn't hear any traffic. I would definitely book again!”

“Ten years ago, my family and I stopped by on a whim while visiting Rosslyn Chapel. We were wowed by the food and have been talking about it ever since. On this recent trip to Scotland, we purpose planned our visit to this gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is wonderful, the food is delicious and it feels like home. You will not be disappointed. I had the steak pie, which had large and tender chunks of beef and a fantastic puff pastry on top. My wife had the fish & chips which was flakey and so yummy. Both came with French Fries (chips) and a veg. The food was as good as we remembered and we’ll be coming back the next time we’re here.”

“Decided to stay at the Riccarton Inn while working in the area and glad I did. Rooms are basic, but comfortable and are perfect for my needs. The bar seems very popular with locals, despite this, the service is swift and even though we have only been there once we were well attended to. The food is excellent, as is the beer! I will be back in the area in a couple of weeks and will be booking into The Riccarton Inn. Don't be put off by the lack of an available breakfast, just head along to Molly's or Corner Cafe for a fantastic breakfast. It's understandable that no breakfast is provided as there are only 5 bedrooms.”

“The staff was superb helping us out, gave great recommendations. Short walk to the bust stop making it easy to get to downtown Edinburgh. We have camped all over the United States and now have 10 days in Scotland under our belt. This facility has the best and cleanest bathrooms/showers anywhere.”

“Very friendly pub with clean and comfortable guest rooms just 15 minutes from the Golf Coast. We stayed 4 nights and felt welcomed like locals by both Staff and the regular patrons. They offer a great breakfast included with your room and the town of Haddington is charming. I’d highly recommend this place if you’re on a golf trip and want somewhere, affordable, clean & close to the courses.”

“Absolutely amazing hotel! Located right in the heart of Edinburgh, at a walking distance of all major attractions in the city. We were staying at The Gleneagles Hotel before coming to the Gleneagles Townhouse, so we knew the hotel will have to be as grand and beautiful as its parent hotel, and we were absolutely right. We checked in, though they didn’t have bellboy trollies/carts, the staff was readily available to help with the luggage and golf clubs. Check-in was smooth, super friendly staff. Our room wasn’t ready, so they stored the luggage for us and found it in our room when we walked into it. Our room was very beautiful, though a bit small, but it was as expected in any big city. The room comes with luxury amenities, it has everything you could possible need. I loved the bathroom! It has heated floors and just beautifully designed. The bathrobes and slippers were divine! They have a wonderful rooftop that is only available for guests or members, which I love that exclusivity part of it. Gorgeous views from the rooftop, perfect for an afternoon cocktail as you get the afternoon sun. The hotel has many beautiful corners and public rooms available for guests, beautifully decorated. The staff was incredibly helpful, I loved the fact they sourced a private meeting room for my boyfriend as he had to take a virtual work meeting and our room wasn’t ready, thankfully our room ended up being ready just before his call started. If you will be driving, just noted they do not have parking in the premises, I am sure they will suggest where to park, this was not an issue for us as we have private transportation arranged.”

“Went for the first time today for the driving range, really enjoyed my time and all staff were so lovely! I arrived with nothing, I’ve never played golf and I don’t own a set of clubs. They provided me with everything I needed and all the information. Great place to go and lovely scenery with easy access.”

“I've been using Nivensknowe for several years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Alan and all the team are fantastic. Very professional, friendly and willing to accomodate bookings at short notice if they possibly can. They've saved my bacon several times. Best of all, Marv's always very keen to go back in with a lovely welcome from the team.”

“Close to the centre, only 3 miles and a £13 cab ride will get you there. Nice clean rooms with a breakfast that sets you up for the day. The couple that run the guest house are friendly and approachable, what more could you want.”

“20plus stars they need. Wonderful people run this place. Greatest to stay in Scotland. Easy transportation. Everything leads to Edinburgh. Grocery store Morrison nearby. You'll meet many cultures here. French to Germany, Africa. Breakfast is long lasting. You'll enjoy Ewan and his wife. Allow them to know your dietary needs. The garden is great. They have wonderful dogs.”

“bunty and martin are really kind going out there way to make sure your okay with your stay, I really cannot recommend enough there so nice and the views around the property are amazing”

“We had a 3 night stay to visit Edinburgh. There was off road parking available and so we made use of the regular bus service into the city centre. There was also a shop and post office within easy walking distance. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The room was kitted out with all the basics needed to make your stay comfy. We had our spaniel Harvey with us. There was a large park close by for walkies. The busses were dog freindly as were many of the pubs and cafés in the city. Highly recommend this homestay for an affordable city break.”

“We left our somewhat anxious old cat Misty at Alicats and he was completely at home and even made friends. More recently we boarded our rescue cat and were a little concerned he might think he’d been abandoned again but all our worries were unfounded and he settled well. We were very grateful for the photos and videos sent to us while we were on holiday which really set our minds at rest. Wonderful place and great care.”

“the host is lovely and the house is very nice. she made us two full breakfasts for breakfast that were both delicious and the bus to Edinburgh central are right outside. a great little BNB right out of town.”

“We needed a last night hotel near the airport to catch an early flight out of Edinburgh. This B&B was cheaper than anything we could find that was comparable. It had four beds (we needed three) and a nice bathroom. We were greeted shortly after we arrived and made to feel welcome. Although our stay was brief, we were able to walk to dinner at a nearby restaurant and our private off road parking sealed the deal.”

“Great place to stay. Very clean & comfy rooms. The owner is very friendly & cooks up a wicked breakfast! Will definately visit again next time we go to Scotland.”

“The castle and grounds are beautiful! Stayed here for my honeymoon & couldn't have been happier. The hosts were very nice but not intrusive (something I worry about with b&B's). My husband and I had a whole half of a castle to ourselves! 10/10 would stay again!”
