Excellent in every way.

Wonderful accommodation. Made to feel very welcome. Cannot recommend too highly. Quiet location in New Town and very convenient for all Edinburgh attractions.

Five Stars All The Way!!!

What a truly amazing stay at Crescent House! Paul and Michael knocked me out with their extraordinary hospitality, sumptuous breakfasts, and their fabulous art galleries. I could not have found a more spectacular setting, or more generous hosts. I will definitely return to my new home base in Edinburgh!

Exquisite Georgian Home on Crescent with Park

All other reviews have lovingly described how special it is to stay at the gorgeous Crescent House with Paul and Michael. I absolutely agree and if you’re lucky enough to find an available room book it now! The opportunity to spend time with our hosts and share their Georgian home for a few days certainly elevated our experience in Edinburgh. I thank them for shaping these vacation memories that we’ll hold on to for a long while.

Gorgeous Georgian House

Great quiet location, but still very convenient to attractions. Immaculately restored Georgian house. Tastefully decorated with one of the owner's artwork. Michael and Paul are wonderful hosts, and recommend great local pubs and restaurants to visit. When we return to Edinburgh, we definitely plan to stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay. Our hosts were so welcoming and easy to chat to. The bedroom was immaculate and they had thought about every detail. Delicious breakfast. Stylish surroundings. Ten out of ten!

Jag och min vän rekommenderar detta boende varmt! Paul och Michael var utomordentliga välkomnande och vänliga värdar som tog hand om oss med mycket värme och uppmärksamhet på små detaljer. De fick hela vistelsen att kännas extra speciell för oss. Huset är otroligt vackert och trevligt att utforska och vårat rum var vacker, fräscht och välstädat. Vi sov gott i den sköna sängen och upplevde att det var väldigt väl ljudisolerat då vi aldrig hörde några ljud från de andra gästerna. Frukosten var en höjdpunkt varje dag men färsk och god mat och trevligt sällskap. Vi kommer absolut att bo här igen om vi får tillfälle att besöka Edingburgh igen! My friend and I highly recommend this accommodation! Paul and Michael were exceptionally welcoming and friendly hosts who looked after us with great warmth and attention to small details. They made the whole stay feel extra special for us. The house is incredibly beautiful and nice to explore and our room was beautiful, fresh and well-kept. We slept well in the comfortable bed and experienced that it was very well soundproofed as we never heard any noise from the other guests. Breakfast was a highlight every day with fresh and tasty food and nice company. We will definitely stay here again if we have the opportunity to visit Edinburgh again!
This was the view of the sunset from our window every evening.

Outstanding Accomodation

This is an outstanding home with many comforts and the hosts are the most welcoming and genuinely lovely people who couldn’t do enough to ensure we have a memorable stay. Would highly recommend this venue if you are planning a trip to Edinburgh.

Fabulous!

The hotel is beautifully presented inside and outside - candles and soft music greet you on arrival in the evening. The rooms are beautiful, with modern and spacious bathrooms and every need catered for. The breakfast is delicious and our hosts served all the drinks whilst we enjoyed the freshly prepared food in the large modern kitchen with amazing views. Cannot recommend highly enough to anyone visiting Edinburgh and looking for high end accommodation.

Boutique Hotel / Art Gallery

This boutique hotel has to be seen to be believed, a mix of Georgian Hotel and an Art Gallary. Paul and Michael will do anything to help you have a fabulous stay. Great location too. Would completely recommend !

What a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved our time in Edinburgh and Crescent House was the perfect base for us. Paul & Michael were outstanding hosts who blew us away with their generous hospitality. They proved to be a wealth of local knowledge and were able to help us make the most of our limited time. Crescent House is a beautiful, relaxing place to stay. Thank you so much.

I can warmly recommend Cresent House. Rooms are beautiful, breakfast is delicious and the owners very friendly and helpful. Location is good as it is close to city center as well as landscape sights like the gardens. We sure enjoyed.

Paul and Michael were amazing hosts. They were super helpful and accommodating. During our stay we weren’t going to be able to make breakfast one of the days and they made us a to-go packed breakfast which really shows how they go above and beyond. The rooms were also super nice and the breakfast was good and fresh.

A beautiful Georgian property owned by a fantastic couple. Paul and Michael make you feel very welcome and are very gracious hosts with nothing being too much trouble. The rooms, as well as the rest of the house, are immaculate and I would highly recommend Crescent House.

Fabulous place to stay !!

An amazing stay. Absolutely beautiful house with a wonderful interior decor and welcoming atmosphere. You instantly feel at home and relaxed. Michael and Paul are so hospitable and friendly, they ensure all your needs are met and create such a personal touch. Breakfast is delicious and again they ensure any dietary requirements are catered for so you have everything you need. We had a short stay but it was perfect could not have asked for anything more except to stay longer !! The house is also in perfect walking distance to city centre and botanical gardens plus other facilities that you need when in Edinburgh.

The best Guest House we have ever stayed in!

Quite simply the best Guest House we have ever stayed in! Paul and Mike are so nice and so eager to ensure you have a great stay, they leave no stone unturned. Firstly the property - beautifully renovated, in a popular area of Edinburgh, an easy 10min walk to Princess Street or St James's Quarter. The property in beautifully appointed, with so many quirky and interesting areas to look at and enjoy. The co-owner (Mike's) own Art decorates much of the wall space and it makes for a very personal, intimate and interesting environment. The guys have thought of everything, they really do want you to have an amazing stay. Everything you would expect is there and they have skimped on nothing, everything is top quality - the furnishings, the food, the décor, the finishings. The public space for relaxing is so nicely laid out, with beautiful art, lots of books, games, space to relax, music to listen to or even a free massage chair! (which I used!) If the property is amazing, the service is even better. It is so personal. From the messages prior to arrival to ensure they knew who we were and what we might need, to the welcome drinks & tour on arrival or the breakfasts, personalised to meet your tastes (I am veggie, my wife is pescetarian). I truly believe this place has everything you would want or need for a wonderful stay. I also believe that if anything was missing that one of the guys would do whatever they could to find whatever you needed. Our new favourite getaway!

This was our first stay in a guest house and it far exceeded our expectations. The house is spectacular. The interior design is exceptional. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable for our whole visit. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Paul and Mike. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast that was provided was delicious with so many choices and all very high quality. Paul and Mike are a wealth of knowledge about dining in and around the area, and gave us much guidance about how to get where we needed to go. They also provided us with help on sightseeing and local knowledge and were always happy just to chat with us in general and showed interest in who we were and what we were up to. Mikes art also gave us much to look at while wandering about the house. Not much around Edinburgh is out of walking distance. We will not hesitate to come back to enjoy their amazing hospitality again when we visit Edinburgh next. Thank you. Mark and Heather
