Annie and John were both so warm, friendly, and accommodating, welcoming me in to their beautiful home. The room is lovely and cosy, the bed was comfortable and the shower was a highlight!

This was a gorgeous, comfortable space. Annie and her husband were very kind, nice and friendly. The buses are easy and reliable. There is a high street nearby which has lots of shops, a nail salon and lots of gyms in the area. The room is very cosy with lots of blankets for the cooler days! I was made to feel very welcome. It was overall a lovely stay!

Thanks, Stevie. Look forward to seeing you in the future.
This is probably the most beautiful Digs experience i have ever had. When i arrived after 6 weeks on the road already, my whole soul seemed to breathe out. It was a deeply calming space. From the nougat coloured walls and the beautiful garden, to the hosts who were absolutely beautiful people in every way - it was completely peaceful, and the sheets and the bed / just gorgeous. The furniture was a deep chestnut wood, and the walls were lined with books. I would be happy to stay here any time! :)
27th Jun 2025
What a wonderful review, Sal. Thank you so much. Please visit us again when you’re back in Edinburgh.

8th Oct 2024
Thank you so much, Joe, for the lovely review. Enjoy your week off 😊
Annie and John were perfect hosts. Friendly and welcoming. They were very quiet as well !! My room was lovely and also quiet. Looking onto the garden. I had full use of the bathroom and kitchen. There were many books to read if I wanted to. I highly recommend them to anyone going to Edinburgh to work. Very easy to get into the theatre with the buses. David.

My second staying at Annie’s and it was yet again a fantastic experience. I recommend the digs very highly
29th Jan 2024
Thanks for such a positive review, Alan. Very happy to have you stay another time.
Anne and John are such lovely hosts. Really felt at home here for the first 6 weeks of the tour I’m on! It’s about a 30 min walk to the playhouse or there are busses 2 mins away from the house! A bonus that loads of green space is right on your doorstep for walking and running. Would reccomended!! The best Edinburgh digs! :) x
21st Nov 2023
Thanks for such a generous review, Meelie. As you know we loved having you stay and so glad that you felt at home. John was delighted to eat the two desserts you left behind in the fridge as his Sunday sweet treat! Many thanks
This was the second time I've stayed with Annie and John. The room is very warm and cosy, and the hosts are very helpful and friendly. Since my first visit, parking has become more difficult due to a permit system, however there is unrestricted parking in a number of adjacent streets and I didn't find this a problem. Flat is close to bus stops, shops and other amenities. Highly recommended!
30th Sep 2023
Thank you for such a comprehensive review. Hope last part of your Scottish visit went well.
Had the best week at Annie’s! About a 10 minute walk to the tram which takes you right into the centre or outside the Playhouse. Would 100% recommend and hope I get to stay again in the future! Thank you xx
4th Sep 2023
Thank you so much for lovely review, Charlotte. Would love to have you visit again.

28th Aug 2023
Thanks, Aishling. Safe back to London and hope your cough goes soon x
Set not far from the Walk and with easy transport links, it is a lovely room in a beautiful house. Thanks to Annie and John it was all very comfortable and welcoming.
5th Jun 2023
Unfortunately because of health reasons I had to cancel the booking but Annie was so wonderful about it!! Thank you very much for your understanding!
24th May 2023

Couldn't fault this lovely cosy room in a nice warm flat. Location was ideal for transport links, car and bus route. Hosts Annie and John are super friendly and helpful. I don't hesitate in recommending this listing 5*
5th Mar 2023
Annie is a Wonderful host and her home is a beautiful, comfortable and restorative oasis if you have a busy schedule! - I was at The Playhouse, a brisk 25 min walk away so its a perfect location.
27th Feb 2023
THE BEST! Annie & John are so hospitable. Chat when you see them but otherwise leave you to it. Gorgeous house. Felt very safe, warm and welcome. Very clean, comfortable bed, use of facilities. 10/10. Would very highly recommend.
13th Feb 2023
Annie and John are just wonderful. Fell ill at the start of my stay and they were happy to buy bits and bobs for me to keep me going. Good accessibility to shops and gyms and buses are pretty regular. Couldn’t recommend enough.
13th Jan 2023
So glad your stay worked out in spite of illness at the start. Do come again if you’re here with another show.
Had a fantastic stay. Beautiful property. Very safe location- a long walk into Edinburgh but that’s fine by me, and bus links are great. Thanks again x
