    Charming Stay with Perfect Hosts!

    Celebrating our tenth anniversary was a delight here. Angela and her husband treated us like family. We relished the warm atmosphere and delightful festive decor. The serene location allowed us easy access to Edinburgh's Christmas markets via bus. Pro tip, enjoy breakfast early for a better selection!

    easy access to beach and bus routes for city explorations

    I had an amazing time with the hosts welcoming me warmly and providing a fantastic breakfast while being just a short walk away from the beautiful Portobello Beach, perfect for relaxing strolls, and the bus stop only a few steps away took me right into the city center in no time for exploring all the landmarks.

    welcoming hosts
    wonderfully cooked breakfasts
    great location
    unclear private areas

    Had an awesome time with my friends! We enjoyed our walks along the sandy beach and the promenade. The hosts were super welcoming, and the breakfasts were wonderfully cooked. The location was perfect for our day trips into the city. Highly recommend staying here for a relaxing getaway!

    The only downside was that some areas of the house were not clearly marked for private use, which made things a bit confusing at times.

    Fabulous stay by the sea!

    We had an amazing time here! The owners were super welcoming, and Angela was just a bundle of joy. The room was spotless and cozy, like sleeping in a cloud. Plus, the full Scottish breakfast was delish! The only thing was, it's not super close to the city center, but easy bus rides made it work just fine.

    A Charming Stay with Delightful Hosts

    I had the pleasure of staying at this charming guest house with its beautifully decorated rooms and welcoming atmosphere. The owners made us feel right at home and offered wonderful recommendations for local sights. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring a full Scottish spread that was simply delicious. The only aspect that could be improved is clearer signage for some private areas of the house.

    comfortable bed
    nice hosts

    Just a prime choice for a weekend respite in Edinburgh with outstanding value for money. The bed was very comfortable, and the hot water worked well without any issues. Tip, Rent a car for your trip but use the bus to explore the city.

    cozy conservatory
    softer water pressure
    shower issues

    The decor of the guest house was simply charming, with elegant Victorian touches and a cozy conservatory that felt like a welcoming hug. Access to the beach was a delightful stroll that even my arthritic knees managed quite well.

    Consider providing softer water pressure in the shower.

    charming guest house
    top-notch breakfast
    lack of play area

    We had a fantastic time at this charming guest house! The beach was just a stone's throw away, and our kids loved playing in the sand. Angela and Willie made us feel right at home, and the breakfast was absolutely top-notch, with endless toast and coffee. Our family room was spacious and beautifully decorated.

    For dads, it would be great if there was a small play area for kids.

    The Abercorn Guest House is beautifully decorated, combining charming Victorian touches with modern amenities, making it a delightful and accessible place for seniors. The cozy conservatory was a perfect spot to relax, and the beach was just a pleasant walk away.
