Where else is breakfast served by candlelight in winter? Friendly staff, lovely bedrooms, off-street parking and Arthur’s Seat all wait

Read guest comments

A great base for all things Edinburgh. This attractive villa stands in the shadow of Arthur's Seat was built in 1868 for a coffee merchant. Outside, much prized, off-street parking waits. Inside, Victorian splendour at every turn: original fireplaces, ornate ceilings and a stained-glass window on the landing. The sitting room comes in dark period colours with newspapers on poles, gilt-framed pictures that hang on chains, and you can grab a drink from the honesty bar, then sink into a chesterfield sofa and watch an old movie or listen to trad jazz. Breakfast is even better. In winter you eat by candlelight, a candelabra on each table, and it’s a feast of Scottish produce: porridge with honey, Arbroath smokies, rare breed sausages, marshmallow pancakes. Bedrooms have style and comfort in spades: white linen, excellent beds, fancy bathrooms, maybe wood floors or a brass chandelier. One has panelled walls, all have good art, iPod docks and smart TVs; the family room has a Nintendo Wii. You can jump on a bus and whizz into town, excellent restaurants wait nearby. A very friendly place.

"23 Mayfield is the very best! The bedrooms are extremely comfortable and clean, with real touches of luxury and beautifully decorated.The attention to detail is incredible, and the breakfasts delicious and copious. Ross is so welcoming and full of good advice, which helped us a lot as it was our first visit. But we will be back and send our friends. Don't go anywhere else, you would be missing a real treat!"

"We had an incredible stay here,our room at the top of the house had a view of Arthurs seat, and quite possibly the worlds comfiest bed. Our hosts were brilliantly welcoming and the award winning breakfasts cooked by Ross have made me a firm haggis lover!

"Having arrived at the Hotel on an early morning flight, Ross welcomed us to our room for an early check in with a tray of coffee & breakfast. Throughout our 2 night stay, we were welcomed with a personal service. Nothing was too much for our host, and there will be a definate return trip next time we are in Edinburgh."
