Information about the host

We are a traditional New Town main-door garden flat in a quiet residential area of the city, close to many great non-touristy pubs and restaurants. You and the other guests in our 3 en-suite rooms will be sharing our home with us during your stay.

I'm an Irishman who has lived in Edinburgh for over 20 years and have made this fantastic city my home. When I'm not taking care of my guests I'm looking after my 3 children, our dog and my horse.

We live in a quiet residential area just a short walk from the city centre and all tourist attractions, where you'll get a feel for the real Edinburgh, with lots of good restaurants, bars and pubs nearby, mainly frequented by local people.
