    The blanket was a little to small for us (I'm 2 m tall).

    The communication was perfect, we got the chance to drop off our luggage and the host was very friendly and courteous. He brought us the breakfast to the room and always asked if everything is fine or if we need something else.

    If you're not a walker, you are a bit removed from downtown and other sites to see.

    It is a cozy alternative to the bustle of a hotel. If you are OK with walking, you have reasonable access to Holyrood Park, Arthur's Seat, and the Royal Mile. If you like take out, there are a few options, but a sit-down meal is a bit of a walk. The Nepalese restaurant was worth the walk.

    The only thing I didn't like is that checkout was at 10 in the morning. I didn't ask to do it later but I would have liked it to be around 12.

    The host is very kind and tries to have any questions answered. The property is cosy and room comfortable. It is not close to city centre but it works as a good accommodation to spend the night. Breakfast was on time and it was simple but nice; a bit scarce though.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The bus to the City was basically at the front door, and Arthur's seat was a 15 min walk away. But definitely the highlight was the lovley host Abe. He delivered the delicious breakfast right on time with a delightful attitude. We will definitely be back if the opportunity arises.

    Abe was an excellent host who responded quickly to all of my queries. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast delivered to your room each morning was a real treat. We found it extremely easy to travel into central Edinburgh using the buses which ran every couple of minutes from just around the corner.

    Abe was so kind and welcoming. He was the perfect host who gave us the most incredible first impression of Scotland. The smile on Abe’s face as he delivered the delicious breakfast provided the perfect start to the day. Waking up to that after such a comfortable and sound night of sleep made our stay absolutely exceptional.

    The water pressure in the shower was very low and the shower head itself was very small so showering was "difficult". For the few days I stayed it was fine but for a longer stay it would be a bit of an inconveniece.

    I had a beautiful stay at Drumorne. It's very quaint and about ~ 10 minute bus trip from Edinburgh city centre. The bus stops are only a few steps from the B&B's doorstep. The location was great for the activities I had planned for my trip, such as visiting Holyrood Park and Portobello Beach. My room was nice and homey, the bed was comfortable and having a a little fridge in the room was great. There's an en-suite which was a good size. Upon arrival you fill out a little form of which breakfast options you'd like to be provided each morning. This included bread, egg, fruit, juice etc. Breakfast was simple but nice to have.

    Good accommodation with great location.

    It would be cool to have access to the kitchen, but on the other hand you can get some food in the center not far from the accommodation. The small shelf in the bathroom needs some small repairs. The kettle had a bit short cord to connect easily to the socket. It was a bit strange that we couldn't open all the windows in the room.

    The room was big and we had enough space to put all our stuff and still to feel ourselves living in not overloaded room (btw the chairs in the room also were quite comfortable). We liked that Abe brought us our breakfast to the room. It felt as some personal touch. We liked that we had a fridge in the room and we used it. The location was also quite good. You still won't be able to use Skylink bus to get to the airport, but the 44th bus is just 30 seconds walk from the accommodation. We liked the big window which we could open and see a road crossing just next to the buiding.The bed was ok as well.
