23 Mayfield Guest House

This was the best stay I’ve had in a long time. The rooms are beautiful, the attention to detail is impeccable and the long, leisurely breakfasts are unparalleled. Ross and Kathleen are amazing hosts and I will definitely be returning. In fact, I think this will be the only place I will ever stay in Edinburgh from now on. When you compare this to other top hotels, there really isn’t anything like it in terms of quality and value for money.

Wow where do I start.|23 mayfield is an absolute must,right from the moment we where welcomed into the property till the moment we said see you again soon we where made to feel like V I.P.S Ross and Kathleen where extremely friendly and very attentive and seen to our every need.||Breakfast well what can I say 😋 you walk in to the candlelit dining room the fire is lit and theres old music playing in this beautiful victorian house it makes you feel like your transported back in time its fantastic.Ross I think has found his calling in life he should win an award for his fantastic tasty and well presented and using only the best ingredients breaky from cereal to cooked absolutely amazing and I told him so everyday. Ross went out of his way to cook breakfast just the way my husband liked it. He's the fussy one I however loved it the way it came. From the porridge with whisky honey to the full Scottish breakfast it was all amazing. If you choose to stay try the blaggis when he does it as a special wow wow wow 👌 also try the waffles I've been home 2 days and I'm craving them 😋 ||Bedroom is stunning a beautiful 4 posted bed with gorgeous feather pillows and a sash window welcomes you. The room was so warm we didn't need the heating on it was fantastic. Lovley furniture,dab radio,wooden window shutters picture lights fresh water,glasses,kettle,teapot and caffieter and biscuits are a lovley touch and restocked daily.||The lounge with a well stocked honesty bar is lovley . You can watch old black and white movies on there we watched quite a few episodes of the 3 stooges I'd watched them before but had heard of them and they where quite funny. It is lovley and relaxing in there and there a few games around in there for you to play if you wish.||So to wrap it up if you want to stay somewhere where you feel pampered and like a family member then don't hesitate and book today you won't be disappointed.|We have already said we will be back and hopefully it will be this year. We miss the place and hosts already 😢 so don't walk run to book your stay as they book up fast we wanted to stay an extra night but they where fully booked. Can't wait to come back see you both soon Ross and Kathleen.

No 23 Mayfield Gardens is indeed a gem of a Guest House, and it is where we had a very enjoyable stay for 3 nights in early December 2023. ||No 23 has a warm ambience and the hosts Ross and Kathleen made us very welcome, so that we settled in right from the start. Our room was a Premier Colonial (Room 4); it was very comfortable and it had a pleasant view over the rear garden to the residential neighbourhood beyond. After a comfortable night’s sleep, breakfast gave us a marvellous start to each day; our separate table by the fireside where a warming fire blazed and a really tasty selection of food choices on the menu. Such a treat!||The house has many wonderful features and we were very interested to hear from Ross about its history. All of the work that they themselves have since done to the property has made it into the beautiful guest house it now is - notably the impressive restoration of the central staircase and hallway, the dining room and the characterful club room with its amazing artwork. We wholeheartedly recommend No 23 and we will certainly stay here on our next holiday in Edinburgh.|

All I can say is WOW. What an absolutely beautiful guesthouse. |Everything was perfect and the attention to detail was astounding. The breakfast included was five star and we could not have asked for more. The owners were so accommodating and friendly. The room was stunning and very comfortable. Thank you for making our stay in Edinburgh extra special, I will definitely be returning!!!

My partner and I stayed at 23 Mayfield in early December. This was one of the best B&Bs we have ever stayed at. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, the room was fantastic and the rest of the house was immaculately done and very inviting in wintery Edinburgh. Getting in to town is very easy via regular buses from across the road (about 10 minute bus to the centre), and Arthur’s seat is just a 15 minute walk away. One of the highlights was the delicious breakfast, with multiple courses and local ingredients, all in the beautiful dining room. We have already recommended this to several friends/family, and would definitely recommend 23 Mayfield to anyone looking for a trip to Edinburgh.

My son and I had a wonderful stay at 23 Mayfield at the end of November. The owners were super nice and welcoming and the whole place had a great atmosphere and Christmas spirit. The breakfast is beautifully served and the menu varies from day to day. The cozy club room was an asset for us because we could invite our friends for a drink after we had been out for dinner. The bus to city centre stops more or less in front of the house. Can highly recommend this place. It's a treat!

Stayed this winter with family, and it is by far one of the best B&Bs we've stayed in! The rooms were beautiful and the breakfasts were delicious. Walking distance to some restaurants and minute away from a bus stop with transport to key places, like the Royal Mile. Everything was perfectly kept in the hotel. Ross and Kathleen were lovely and incredibly accommodating. ||Also: great vegetarian options for breakfast!

My fiancé and I stayed at number 23 in early in December. The whole experience was excellent. From the hosts (who were particularly friendly and welcoming), the room and the rest of the house, both inside and out - everything was really impressive.||For us, a particular highlight was the breakfasts. The food was amazing and we loved the beautiful dining room.||We have already recommended 23 Mayfield to several friends and family, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Edinburgh.
