My husband and I spent one night at Elmview. We arrived early Saturday morning by plane and took a cab to Edinburgh. Elmview is located on a quite side street overlooking what is alleged to be the first golf course in Scotland--it is now a lovely park. Elmview is conveniently located within walking distance (approx. 15 min. walk) to Edinburgh... more

Robin and Nici are lovely hosts! There were lots of little special items in the room which have obviously been thought of to make a travellers life just that little bit easier i.e sewing kits, sherry and a mini fridge, toiletries, shaving kit, international adaptor, pen and notebook etc. There are even bathrobes! The rooms are spacious and absolutely spotless.... more

REMARKABLE attention to details was my first and now lasting impression of the service provided by Robin & Nici at the Elmview!! It was apparent from our first e-mail contact that the hosts are truly concerned about providing superior service to all guests. After prompt replies to my request for two rooms, I was sent information about special events happening... more

My friend and I stayed at the Elmview for 2 nights and truly enjoyed our stay. The room was very spacious with very high ceilings and huge windows. The B&B owners were wonderful hosts and provided us with so much great info about Edinburgh including restaurant recommendations and maps upon our arrival! Breakfast was GREAT with a fabulous selection of... more

Next to seeing Edinburgh Castle, staying at Elmview has to be the highlight of one's trip to Scotland (or anywhere else). The warm welcome given by Robin, greeting us by name at the door and offering fresh-baked breads, tea and coffee on our arrival, was a hint at what was to come. Our room, #4 (and subsequently #5 after we... more

My wife and I wanted to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary in Edinburgh and chose the Elmview because of the reviews and my having lived in the neighborhood as a med student. From the moment we arrived Nici and Robin were the most gracious and attentive hosts. Our room, #5 was large, light filled with many thoughtful little touches. Others... more

A glowing example of how a B&B should be run. Everything was perfect and nothing had been forgotten. Breakfast was one of the best I've ever had in any hotel / B&B - Eggs benedict special was the best I'd ever had. If you are staying in Edinburgh - they try to stay in this B&B, you will not regret... more

Warm and welcoming, excellent accommodation and Breakfast, made to feel at home by Nici and Robin. Much thought has gone into this accommodation with lots of extra touches as well as every necessity provided. From welcoming sherry to flowers and nibbles, to exceptional cleanliness. I would certainly recommend (and have already done so) this accommodation to family and friends and... more

We spent 3 days in Edinburgh, and we searched Trip Advisor for the best place to go to. Elmview was one of the first B&Bs suggested, so we decided to try it. Maybe the place was quite expensive, but absolutely worth the many services, the wonderful food experience, and the fantastic hospitality we received. Our room was full of comforts,... more
