Large but homely house. Made to feel very welcome by Michael and Caroline. Even gave good advice with parking, as the car park was full. Nice breakfast with lots of choice. Large family style table for breakfast so got chance to chat with other guests. We were all going to same concert. Beds very comfy and large beautifully kept garden. Opened the window, and Got to hear the sound check in Murrayfield , the night before, was so close. Ideal walking distance.
No towels, but none stated on booking, I just didn’t read it properly. Easily solved as lots of local shops nearby. Garden gate was difficult for me to lift as has a broken hinge, but hubby managed ok.

I had a truly wonderful stay, it felt just like home. The place was incredibly comfortable and cozy, and I instantly felt at ease. Caroline and Carmichael were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely caring. Their thoughtful and warm hospitality made my stay extra special. The breakfast was absolutely lovely, especially the delicious scrambled eggs :) Highly recommended!

It was so close to the Murrayfield Stadium which truly was a blessing. We stayed there during the three nights of T. Swift concert and to be able to walk from and to the venue lifted a huge weight of our shoulders. Mike and Caroline (if I remember correctly) were so kind, and such great hosts. The breakfast was amazingly delicious. The rooms and beds were super comfy, and overall was a rather pleasant experience. Thank you so much!
Everything was perfect, to be honest.

Lovely and comfortable stay at Carmichael, the hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable and the location was ideal as we were looking for somewhere peaceful to stay with great public transport links in to the city centre. Breakfast plentiful and delicious, we looked forward to filling up each morning! Our stay was a mixture of sightseeing and my husband taking a language exam and the good news is we just found out he passed. Would recommend this B&B, many thanks again :)

We began our visit to Scotland at Carmichael B&B, and what a wonderful beginning! Carmichael is so lovely and comfortable. The landscaping, especially the flowers, was beautiful. Michael & Caroline are delightful hosts and were very helpful. We enjoyed hearing about their home and family. Our Scottish breakfasts were delicious, and we enjoyed porridge and potato scones, as well as everything they served!

A lovely house in a quiet area 30min walk from the historic centre and also easily accessible by local buses. The hosts made us feel really welcome and the delicious breakfast was enough to keep our energy levels up for the first half of the day!

Great hosts, good location especially for the rugby stadium and a nice walk into the city centre.
Hadn’t realised the room I booked whilst having a private bathroom, the bathroom was down the hallway. Perhaps my fault for not checking the room details.

1Great atmosphere, quite nice neighbourhood. Great easy walkway to reach the centre, about 20 minutes. Great cooked breakfast, friendly owners.
Noise from other rooms, not really bad, but present.

The b&b is located on a lovely, quiet street away from the hustle & bustle of the city centre. It’s a beautiful b&b and it has the real feel of being at home rather than a hotel, it was comfortable and cosy. The hotel is situated about 20/30 minutes walk from Edinburgh city centre but it’s a nice walk. Mike and Caroline were so welcoming and friendly, making sure we were okay every time we saw them. Mike was very helpful about the area too, where we could get the buses from if needed and also recommend an Indian restaurant nearby (Ronaq) and it was a delicious! There are buses nearby if you don’t fancy the walk which are fairly cheap for an adult single. Our room was perfect for our three night stay with everything that we needed. The bed was so so comfy! It was absolutely perfect to collapse into in after a long day visiting the attractions. The bathroom had a spacious shower with big bottles of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available to use. Big jars of coffee & tea were provided in the room too, not the little sachets you can sometimes get, so it was a bonus if you drink a lot of tea/coffee. The breakfast was spot on every morning, I really looked forward to it. It was a traditional Scottish breakfast (sausage, bacon, scrambled egg, tomato, mushrooms & a potato scone). There were a selection of cereals, freshly made coffee, tea, orange juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt to choose from too. I can’t recommend Carmichael enough, it was perfect for our entire stay! I would definitely stay again if we came back to Edinburgh
Nothing! It had everything we needed & more
