What a fabulous place. David was a wonderful host. The room we had was large , the breakfast was great. The Spybank is in a perfect place to explore Edinburgh. The 44 bus is just around the corner takes about 29 to 25 minutes to get to the city. Highly recommended place to stay.

Had a lovely time at Spylaw and David was an excellent host. Breakfast was very good and plentyful. Parking was great as was the bus to get into Edinburgh. We stayed in the Robert room and suggest the following need attention to improve our view. The television did not work and apparently not for 30 days according to the error code, dust on the television and cabinet quite thick. Unfortnately the bathroom had black hair on the floor and dust on the shelf behind the toilet cistern. The towels were discoloured and very hard. These are suggestions only.

I had a good stay here. The hotel is on route of 44 bus to Balerno. The bus ride is around 30 min to Princess Street and buses run every 15 min. The bedroom was nice and the bed was very comfy, I slept beautifully! I prefer old fashioned, quiet places over modern and very busy hotels so the Spylaw Bank House was perfect for me. The price is also very reasonable compared to expensive places in the city centre and breakfast was included.

It was quite old which added to the quaintness. I had to call when arrived which ended up costing me. Wasn’t aware host was on WhatsApp until after
The host was lovely. Had a great breakfast as well

Wonderful stay in Scotland
This was the ideal place for my two week stay in Scotland. The location was perfect because it is within walking distance of my sister's home and close to bus stops that take you everywhere in the area. David was a delightful host and I felt very welcome and comfortable.

An amazing, quiet location , a beautiful old house with very good facilties. It made me and my 11 old son feel like in a fairytale, with a great contribution from the house dog and cat. Many thanks to David , for being a great host and for contributing to our rugby knowledge, that was amazing for a young boy that is discovering this beautiful sport , and enjoyed a very good game in the beautiful city of Edinburgh

Wonderful Hogmanay stay with attentive host!
David was a fantastic B&B host. Very attentive and provided a lovely breakfast on the morning of New Year’s Day. Easy to get into the city centre with a few regular bus options. Would recommend staying here!

The proprietor David was a lovely man. His breakfasts were tasty and delicious. Good B&B for an old-school stay. Old Georgian home so if you like a historic stay, this is it.
