Great guest house - Rating 5/5
Spent 4 nights at this guest house and it was a pleasure.The hosts are very friendly without being over bearing and do a great job making you feel truly welcome.An easy 20-25 minute walk to the Royal Mile makes it convenient without being in the bustle of city center.Several nice small restaurant choices nearby for evening meals.Will definitely try to stay again if in area, and will recommend to others going to Edinburgh.

Prachtig guesthouse met geweldige gastheren. De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien en erg schoon. De gastheren waren behulpzaam en niets was het teveel. Het ontbijt wordt naar keuze klaargemaakt waardoor er niets wordt verspild. De keuze is zeer uitgebreid. Kortom wij komen zeker terug.

Good advice given on getting around and restaurants to try.Breakfast was great quality and you do not go hungry.The guest house is about 20 min walk to the centre.

Simply everything is great - Rating 5/5
We spent 3 nights here on our round trip to Scotland and were more than satisfied. The warm welcome with a glass of Prosecco already suggested that we would feel very much at home here.Finally a B&B room and bathroom where you don't get claustrophobic. Compared to other locations on our trip, where you had just enough space to walk between the door, bed and wall and tiny bathrooms that can easily become a trap for fatter people, everything here was simply KINGSIZE:The room was very spacious, tastefully decorated, the furniture of good quality, with a really great box-spring bed, enough space for suitcases and clothes, a place to set up the laptop and write in an upright sitting position, an armchair and a side table. There was always enough tea, coffee etc. to make yourself and a kettle, cups, glasses and a bottle of water. If anything was missing, it could be replenished in the lounge, which was free to use during the day.The bathroom was simply marvellous. Spacious, with plenty of storage space and a huge shower!There were also plenty of toiletries and towels.The breakfast was great, freshly made and every conceivable choice was on offer, topped only by the friendliness and helpfulness of Ian and David. The restaurant and other tips were really helpful and really helped us during our stay in Edinburgh.The only downside to the overall experience was the really high prices in August. But Ian and David are only adapting to the local conditions here. Edinburgh in August - it's our own fault - all the festivals drive up the prices. We will definitely come back again - but not in August.We wish David and Ian continued success with their B&B,Karen & Sabine from Germany.

Iwas traveling alone for 3 days in Edinburgh and Castle Park Guest House was everything I needed. David and Ian were warm, welcoming and helpful. The house and room was spacious and well appointed.

Absolutely Recommend! - Rating 5/5
It was my father and I’s first trip to Edinburgh and I’m so glad we found Castle Park Guest House. Ian and David were excellent hosts, so accommodating from the beginning of our booking up to check out. The home is situated a small walk from the busy center, but their neighborhood is so peaceful, making the location ideal. The home is also serviced by a couple bus lines directly across the street and a fee others a couple streets over. I loved how the rooms were themed on the original Scottish clans and their tartans. Our double twin room was impeccably clean, comfortable, with plenty of storage space and a roomy bathroom (with private toilet and shower). But I think my favorite part of our stay were the delicious, filling breakfasts complete with home-baked breads made by Ian. The options available were also impressive, and Ian and David made sure to accommodate any dietary restriction their guests may have. On our early tour mornings, they also offered us grab-and-go items to take with us on our trip. Our stay at Castle Park Guest House was truly fantastic and I cannot wait to stay here again!

Perfect and Clean - Rating 5/5
(For English look at the bottom of this text; first in Dutch, as we are Dutch)Wij hebben echt genoten van ons 3-daagse bezoek aan Edinburgh en in het bijzonder van ons verblijf bij Castle Park Guesthouse met 7 kamers. De eigenaren Ian en David deden werkelijk alles om ons een zeer gastvrij gevoel te geven. Hun plezier in hun werk straalde af op alles wat ze deden en hoe ze hun "Guesthouse" hadden ingericht. Het ontbrak ons aan niets. Het prachtige huis en onze kamers waren zeer smaakvol ingericht en alles was superschoon. Ik heb zelden in een zo'n fijn bed geslapen. De regendouche was ruim en heerlijk en de handdoeken dik en zacht. Perfectionisme tot in het kleinste detail. Het Schotse ontbijt werd uitgebreid uitgelegd en smaakte heerlijk. Niet te veel, om afval zoveel mogelijk te voorkomen, maar er was voldoende en bijvragen was geen enkel probleem. De auto konden we in het weekend gratis voor de deur parkeren. Dichtbij het centrum: een wandeling van 15 minuten bracht ons al op de "Grassmarket". Als je hier gaat overnachten krijg je geen spijt.(In English)We really enjoyed our 3-day visit to Edinburgh, especially our stay at Castle Park Guesthouse with 7 rooms. The owners, Ian and David, truly did everything to make us feel very welcome. Their enjoyment of their work was reflected in everything they did and how they had decorated their "Guesthouse." We lacked nothing. The beautiful house and our rooms were very tastefully decorated and everything was super clean. I have rarely slept in such a comfortable bed. The rain shower was spacious and delightful, and the towels were thick and soft. Perfectionism in the smallest detail. The Scottish breakfast was thoroughly explained and tasted delicious. Not too much, to minimize waste as much as possible, but there was enough, and asking for more was not a problem. We could park the car for free in front of the house during the weekend. Close to the city center: a 15-minute walk brought us to the "Grassmarket." If you stay here, you won't regret it.

Lovely, comfort and convenient stay - Rating 5/5
It was such a lovely, comfort and convenient stay at Castle Park. My favorite was the homey atmosphere, cleanness, attentiveness from Ian and David, lovely and quiet yet super convenient location and stable WIFI connection. What else could you ask for a perfect stay! In addition, I felt as if I was a local rather than a tourist by staying at Castle park, which I could never experienced in a hotel at city center. The cleanness of the house was higher than popular hotel chains. I’m as impressed as many other guests. It’s very quiet throughout the day and night. You’d hear beautiful bird chirping in the morning that I didn’t feel being bothered at all. The high ceiling room reminds me my apartment when I lived in New York. Bus 10 and 27 are literally steps away right out side the front door, taking me directly to city center in less than 10 min and Botanic Garden in 20-30 min. Restaurants, coffee shops, and even post office are 5min walk. Ian’s breakfast was delicious, fast and sufficient to supply me enough energy to go through more than half day until my late lunch so that my touring could be more efficient. Both Ian and David are great in explaining rules and options as well as super responsive to my emails before my arrival even with 8hr time difference. I stayed in a single room with a queen bed. The room is on a smaller side but I was traveling by myself and spent most day out touring so it’s perfect for me with a quality and cost effective stay! I was reluctant to move to a prominent hotel at city center paid by my employer for work. I’m writing this review and missing my stay at Castle Park. Will definitely stay here if I ever visit Edinburgh again.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Castle Park Guest House during my visit to Edinburgh.First of all, Ian and David are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure you feel at home. It’s like staying with friends who genuinely care about your comfort.The guest house is an old victorian townhouse, that has been tastefully updated. You'll find little tartan themed decoration everywhere in the house, which I personally loved!! It's conveniently located and just a 15 minute walk away from the city center, making sightseeing a breeze.My room had everything I needed to feel comfortable, the private bathroom with it's big shower was spotless. Everything was clean and tidy.Regarding the breakfast I really looked forward to it, especially because I wanted to try a traditional but classic english breakfast. Not only was it cooked freshly just for me, Ian and David bake their own bread. That means you can have freshly homebaked toast bread every morning with your breakfast! It was really delicious!!Staying at the Castle Park Guest House was an exceptional experience.I'm so happy to habe met Ian and David, they were wonderful hosts, and everything was truly delightful. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

A true gem - Rating 5/5
Castle Park is a real gem. David and Ian are brilliant hosts, they have designed the rooms tastefully and meticulously, using high quality furnishings and decor. The breakfast is super, with wholesome ingredients and homemade bread making for agreat start to the day. The house is well placed, being right next to a bus stop, but also being a pleasant walk away from the city centre. I thoroughly recommend this house and appreciate the excellent hospitality shown by the hosts. We will use again if we return to Edinburgh.

The most personal, warm and welcoming experience! - Rating 5/5
There is so much to say. I will break it down into different categories:1. First impression: Before even arriving there, I was already in communication with Ian & David regarding a challenging situation where I wasn’t sure about my check-in time. (Long story, due to the fact that I thought I had lost my passport). The point is that they were so incredibly open to find ways to accommodate me. They didn’t have to, but had offered several options. This showed their incredible kindness from the start. Once everything was resolved and I arrived there, I was greeted with a glass of Cava (a Spanish Sparkling Wine). It is how they welcome their guests. After that, Ian had taken the time to go through all the details about my stay (times for breakfast, entering and leaving the hotel, keys, bathrooms, etc..). Everything around me was kept in a very pristine state. Everything was clean and proper. Even when I went up to the room, it was pretty immaculate. The bathroom was even more impressive. A definite 10/10 on cleanliness.2. Comfort: Most hotels can be a hit or a miss when it comes to the comfort of the mattress. I am personally very picky when it comes to that. Their bed was very comfortable and even the pillows. I also found other guests to be very polite and even discreet. There were no loud noises, no running around. It was pretty peaceful. The bathroom and shower were great. I found a nice bath robe hanging behind the door waiting for me to use it.3. Outlets and lights. I found the room to have sufficient outlets that I could use to setup my charging station. And you had easy access to a light by the bed so that you didn’t have to get up to turn off the lights at night.4. Food: Wow! From previous reviews, I had read about Ian & David baking their homemade bread fresh every morning. And I can say that I had that wonderful smell as soon as I stepped out of my room in the morning. They take the time to use fresh and local ingredients for their breakfast. I was also very impressed with how they kept the counter very clean with a beautiful selection of cereals, fruits, juices and snacks. It was wonderful to know that I could help myself to a snack throughout the day and help myself to different options of juices or even milk to have some cereal.I appreciate that they don’t like to waste any food (I am the same way) so they serve their portions just right and welcome you to order more if you like. For breakfast, I had the Full Scottish Breakfast (with meat). Out of the three places that I had tried during my stay in Edinburgh, this was by far the best one. Everything on the plate was just perfect! I also ordered their croissant and pain au chocolat and it was just perfect!!Even their jam and butter on their home made bread was delicious!! Just writing about it now makes me want that breakfast 10 times over!One more thing about the breakfast and their service, which I will always remember, is being asked if I was left handed or right handed. It was to know in which direction to place the handles of the cup, the cream and the coffee pot in the table! Wow! I’ve never had such personal service! Again, very impressed!5. Location: I was basically a 10-minute walk to the start of the royal mile. And in Edinburgh, it’s beautiful to walk around. From the airport to there, it was pretty easy. I purchased a return ticket with the Airlink Bus (cost me £8 both ways) and from the drop off, it’s a 15-minute walk. I didn’t mind it at all since the scenery was beautiful. So they are nicely located so you don’t feel like you are in a busy area.Overall, I will most definitely make them a must for a place to stay. Again, I can’t stress how great Ian & David were. Their service and attention to detail was just perfect!!Thank you both for a wonderful stay and exceptionalHospitality!

Excellent stay!- Rating 5/5
We recently spent five wonderful days at this charming guest house, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by David, who ensured we felt right at home. Ian’s personalised English breakfasts were a highlight of our mornings – delicious and tailored to our preferences, with home-made bread and pastries.The room comfort was exceptional, rivaling that of a high-end hotel. It was impeccably clean, featuring a modern bathroom and a very comfortable bed. We also appreciated the serene environment; our room overlooked a beautiful garden. Another aspect we loved was the guest house’s commitment to sustainability.We wholeheartedly recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Edinburgh. If we return to the city, we would undoubtedly choose to stay here again. Thank you, Ian and David, for a memorable stay!

I had a fantastic stay at Castle Park Guest House! I stayed in one of the smaller rooms (Buchanan) and found it to be very comfortable, and as a solo female traveler I felt very safe. The location is great - it’s quiet since it’s not in the middle of the main touristy area, but it’s still very easy to get to many attractions by walking or taking the bus (a bus stop is right across the street). If I’m ever back in Edinburgh then I will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely stay in one of the rooms with the bay window and en suite bathroom. It was large enough for a king sized bed and a child’s cot plus enough space for our things and for our baby to crawl around. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything we needed was in the room (shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, hangers). Breakfast each morning was delicious and very filling. Loved having all the options from fresh pastries to fruit to smoked salmon to eggs and veggie haggis. David and Ian were excellent hosts and gave us 3 great restaurant recommendations.

Castle Park was easily our favorite place to stay during our 2 week visit to the UK ( we stayed in 7 different places!). Ian and David were incredibly accommodating- everything from thorough check in, restaurant recommendations, helping us park our car, the wonderful breakfast (and Ian's homemade bread!). Our room was wonderful and they truly thought of everything when they redesigned the space. I loved chatting with Ian about bread-making over breakfast and we felt very much at home at Castle Park. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks again Ian and David- we cannot wait to visit again!

Perfect New Years - Rating 5/5
My wife and I stayed here for a few nights surrounding the New Years celebration for our first time in Edinboro and couldn't have had a better experience. David and Ian truly make the difference as they also live in the building so you can tell that they really do treat it like their home. They were very helpful in giving us tips about the city (go to the rooftop of the museum for a great view) and they make breakfast themselves every morning. Their involvement and friendliness is what makes the stay unique. Of course the location is great as well and the city is amazing. Our only change would be trying to get a bigger room next time as it was a little difficult to move around with both our large bags. But we expected this as we knew it was an actual house and we made it work as the room was still great. We would definitely look at staying here again next time we visit and highly recommend it for first time or repeat visitors.

Don't judge a book by its cover; not much on the outside, but wonderful on the inside.- Rating 5/5
I didn't have a good impression when we first pulled up in front of the Castle Park Guest House in Edinburgh, as there was an auto repair shop across the street and some trash along the curb where we parked. Parking also required payment, although we were able to avoid that on the weekend and we returned our rental car before the required parking fees during the week. Once inside, we were given a warm and thorough welcome by Ian and David who were fantastic hosts. The interior of the home has been completely remodeled with modern fixtures, showers, carpets, etc. Everything was very clean and the hosts continually made sure we were satisfied with everything in the room. Every morning we received a wide choice of options for breakfast that included coffee (French Press), freshly baked croissants, eggs cooked to order, yoghurt, fruit, and many more items that we didn't order. Although the general neighborhood was nothing special, it was safe to walk through at night, and close enough to the center of town and several restaurants. We often chose to walk to where we needed to go, although we also took advantage of the bus line which stopped directly across the street. A very pleasant stay.

The room was very comfortable and serene.Ian and David were always available to help and making sure our stay was going well. We really appreciate the effort they make towards sustainability (minimizing food waste, refillable soap pumps, separating waste).Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices.In summary: our stay couldn’t have been better.

Best B&B experience ever! Would recommend.- Rating 5/5
Highly recommend staying at Castle Park. From the moment I arrived (early), I felt welcomed and just pampered. Ian and David went above and beyond to help me map out the best walking routes, great recommendations for restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, very detail oriented, right down to pre-filling the kettle in your room. Loved that each room was modern, but differentiated by individual tartans/clans. The breakfast options are numerous, and very high quality.I would absolutely return and can’t wait to return. Edinburgh and Castle Rock captured my heart.

Ian and David have thought of every detail in their home. My single room was what I wished I had as a teenager but now appreciate as an adult! Breakfast is not a buffet. Made from scratch to order. They attend to every need if required. This area is not in the city center but felt like coming home at end of busy day. Easy bus ride to center.

A lovely, warm, and well-located guest house with wonderful hosts and attention to detail!- Rating 5/5
As a solo traveler, the help and advice Ian and David provided before I even arrived was extremely helpful. They were communicative and flexible, helping ensure I could get situated as soon as I landed. The guest house itself is beautiful, and in a great central location if you want to be able to easily access the main stretches of the city while still having some peace and quiet when you’re ready to get a good night’s sleep. There are some great bars and restaurants on the surrounding blocks, and it’s a brisk and pleasant walk along the Meadows to get to Old Town; I personally preferred walking everywhere but there are also buses that come through out front to take you around.Waking up and having a full breakfast in the bright and airy sitting room each morning was a treat and was the perfect way to prepare for a day of wandering about. The meals were extraordinary and offered a variety of options, all of which I greatly enjoyed trying over the course of the week.My single room was perfect for me, minimal and clean and suited with everything I’d need - small and charming but affixed with lots of modern functionality that still made it feel luxurious. I had a private bathroom right down the hall which was secure and beautifully updated. Ian and David were helpful throughout my stay, offering recommendations for things to do and checking in regularly to make sure I had everything I needed (like refreshing sheets and towels as needed, stocking me up with snacks to bring on my days out and about, and booking me a taxi for the early morning trip back to the airport).I look forward to staying with them again when I undoubtedly find myself back in Edinburgh!

Our three-day stay in Edinburgh was at the end of a round trip through the rather lonely Highlands - the city was full of tourists. In the beautiful rooms of Castle Park Guest House we could really relax from the crowd :-)It is in a quiet neighbourhood, but still close to the city (walking distance or bus stop next door). We were wonderfully taken care of by Ian and David, with delicious salmon breakfast as well as tips e.g. for taking the bus.Thank you very much for your hospitality, we would love to come back.

Arriving way too late and tired from our flight, a very friendly host (David) made us soon smile, as did the beautifully designed and outfitted accommodation - the Douglas room. After a relaxing night in the comfortable beds and the surprisingly quiet neighbourhood, the splendid, homecooked scottish breakfast was the next hilight of our stay. We not only enjoyed perfect coffee from the French press and the delicious food, but the delightful Ian with his authentic warmth and his sense of humour.My daughter and I (living in alpine Switzerland) couldn't imagine a better start for our Nature Fotography Trip to the Western Highlands. Very much recommended!

I booked this place without thinking too much about it and can’t believe how lucky I got! It’s the perfect walking distance from everything, with a great park and restaurants nearby. Ian and David are lovely — they create an atmosphere in the guest house that’s so warm and homey. There is so much thought put into every detail of the house. The room was great — a lot of light, clean, had everything I needed. I got the room with an external bathroom but it was so easy to use plus it’s got a really nice shower. Ian’s homemade bread is delicious at breakfast. They both also gave me good recs for walking routes to town and things to see. I felt really well cared for and I would definitely come back.

We had a wonderful experience at Castle Park Guest House. Ian and David know how to run a guest house and that is shown from the very beginning. Being our first time to Edinburgh, they were most gracious in sitting with us and making recommendations for restaurants, tours, etc. Their suggestions were wonderful. Our guest room had been renovated recently with a comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. Their breakfast service was the best that we've experienced in our travels to bed and breakfasts. The guest house is about a 20 minute walk from the Royal Mile but for us the walk was not at all an issue. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality Ian and David.

The Castle Park Guesthouse is a great place to stay whilst in Edinburgh. Close to the city for local attractions and also evening walks in Meadow Park. Ian and David are great hosts, kind and welcoming with terrific recommendations for local tours and restaurants to try out. The interior is decorated lovely and you can tell that they have made a great effort to modernise the property but still keep a Victorian feel. The glass of bubbly when checking in was a nice welcome and the breakfast was an absolute delight, delicious and filling - customers get a great insight into Scottish cuisine and the hosts make their own bread!

Castle Park Guest House, located within walking distance of Old Town, was the ideal place for my few days in Edinburgh. Ian and David are perfect hosts - gracious, attentive, helpful, and very professional. The guest house itself is absolutely immaculate, and both comfortably and beautifully appointed. From the best quality beds and linens to light-filled rooms and daily "fresh-ups," there is extraordinary care for guests. And I haven't yet mentioned the breakfasts. The breakfasts! There are delicious options for an included cooked breakfast - eggs, meats, vegan meats, smoked salmon on request, homemade bread, etc., as well as a variety of quick and cold foods along with pressed coffee, teas, and juices. Breakfast in a lovely sunlit front room with peaceful music is a soul-and-body-nourishing start to the day.In short, the Guest House provides the most comfortable, excellent accommodations without being fussy and pretentious - just perfect. I cannot more highly recommend this lovely guest house.

Amazing! - Rating 5/5
We checked out (with reluctance!) this morning 24/5/2023. This Guest House ticks all the boxes. Booking on-line was very straightforward, the welcome by both David & Ian was warm and genuine. They spent time with us explaining keys, breakfast and the availabiility of refreshments and fruit during any day-time return we might wish to make. We loved the "Clan" theme of each room, right down to the room tartan key-fob. Our room was beautifully fitted out and very confortable indeed, even down to the choice of pillows. Our breakfasts were beautifully cooked and served. We were impressed by the "minimum waste" policy of the owners and their clear care for environmental issues. The Guest House is well placed for a wide choice of restautants. Shops and places of interest are easily accessed by public transport and the Guest House Vestibule is well stocked with maps and leaflets highlighting these choices. We hope to be back. George & Rae

Perfect stay at Castle Park. I really recommend it if you are visiting Edinburgh! Extremely kind, Ian and David are dedicated to making you feel at home since the moment you arrive. The room is comfortable, extremely clean, as is the bathroom. Bus in front of, quick access to the historic center, breakfast with options for vegetarians and vegans if you prefer. But really it's their kindness, the special touch.

They both made sure all our needs were met - including a delicious cooked breakfast and a packaged breakfast to go on our early-morning departure. They called a cab for us, and they made us terrific restaurant recommendations which were spot on: Tuk Tuk Indian restaurant within easy walking distance and Howies on Victoria St, also walking distance. The renovations/decorations they have done on this unique and gorgeous home are exquisite. We will definitely stay again!

My partner Seb and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Castle Park Guest House in Edinburgh. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm and welcoming smiles from our hosts David and Ian, who were excellent throughout our stay. They were always on hand to help with any questions we had and provided us with fantastic recommendations for things to do in the city.The rooms themselves were simply stunning. Beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean, they were the perfect place to come back to after a busy day of exploring Edinburgh. We particularly loved the attention to detail, such as the fluffy towels and luxurious bedding, which made our stay even more special.The location of the guest house was ideal, not too far away from the lovely old town of Edinburgh, which was a major draw for us. It was great to be able to walk to so many attractions and immerse ourselves in the city's history and culture. Despite being close to the city center, the guest house was peaceful and quiet, allowing us to get a good night's sleep.Overall, we had an amazing time at Castle Park Guest House, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, relaxing, and welcoming place to stay in Edinburgh. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to this beautiful city!P.S. Great breakfast!

An absolutely fantastic B&B, really well located and run by the nicest people in Ian and David. The B&B has had a full renovation and you can really tell. The house has lost none of its original charm or traditional features whilst also providing all the luxuries you'd want in a modern day B&B, plus extras on top. The breakfast is superb, home-cooked with lots of options for any palette and freshly made pastries that you can take with you whilst you explore Edinburgh. They even make their own bread! The rooms are delightful, clean and cosy; the bed super comfortable and the bathroom perfect. There really is no way to improve this place so if you're umming and ahring about where to stay, just stay here, you will not regret it. Thank you Ian and David for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back in the future.

Fantastic from Start to Finsh! - Rating 5/5
Planned a visit to Edinburgh at the end of October and after a few days scouring the internet for potential hotels and apartments my and a friend finally decided on the Castle Park Guest House ran by David & Ian. Reasons for the booking - Location, Price, breakfast included in price and décor of the Guest House was right up my street!On arrival, we had to arrange parking. This was a simple 2 minute journey to a nearby cinema complex. David and Ian, along with other hotels in the area have obviously done their homework and arranged a discounted charge to use the cinema car park if you stoppping in one of several hotels, the £10 per day was a nice little touch considering the cinema charge you 2.5 times that amount for non hotel stayers. A very nice idea indeed.We were shown to our room, which was fantastic. The shower was brilliant, beds were comfy. Breakfast was fabulous, cooked fresh and always left with a full stomach. Jokingly, my friend and I would appreciate later breakfast time, only due to us sampling a few too many beers on both nights before ; ) But seriously the breakfast is great and the hosts can do no more for you , nothing is too much troubleDavid and Ian are very happy to help you before you leave for the day. They make recommendations on places to visit, help with local transport issues like an unexpected rail strike whilst we were there. The location of the guest house is awesome, most places are walkable especially the Old Town and the area by Edinburgh CastleOverall it was a splendid couple of days in the Scottish City, its a fantastic place to visit whatever your interests. The Hotel is fantastic and we both would definitely stay again, 100% and we would hugely recoomend to everyone who is looking to stay hereThanks to Ian and David on a fabulous visit to Scotland!Keep Up the Good Work Guys!Hopefully see you again soon!

The sorrounding area is very quiet and safe, residential area and very near you can find different restaurants.Ian and David are the perfect hosts. They are very kind and they are always aware of what the guest needs. EXCELENT. One additional comment for the nice Nuria who works with them in the house, her simpathy and smile will be always with us.Ian, David and Nuria speak Spanish, so this is important for a better communication for who do not speak English.We strongly reccomend this guest house.

Every little detail shows the care and thoughtfulness of the hosts. Ian and David have been incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. We hope to come back soon! Thanks to both for everything.

Struttura accogliente e pulita, camera sufficientemente spaziosa e ben arredata dotata anche di smart TV. Bello anche il bagno con una doccia spaziosa e confortevole.Posizione strategica per visitare a piedi le principali attrazioni di Edimburgo!Il punto forte è la colazione, in parte cucinata al momento con ingredienti di qualità.

On my first solo trip abroad, Ian and David made my stay better than I could have dreamed. My room was beautiful with thoughtful touches like a makeup remover cloth and a hair dryer that works properly. Their breakfasts were divine and the homemade bread is not to be missed. The location is within walking distance to everything I wanted to see or do. It is a delicate balance to be helpful without being overbearing. Ian and David are superb at that balance. My only downside to my stay was that I had to leave too soon. I will definitely be back to stay with them, and I highly recommend the Castle Park Guest House to anyone who wants a wonderful experience in Edinburgh.

The Best B&B in Edinburgh - Rating 5/5
I had a conference to attend at the Edinburgh International Conference Center and began my search for nearby B&Bs/hotels many months before traveling. There are several, but I narrowed in on Castle Park Guest House because of the owners’ dedication to being eco-friendly, all positive Tripadvisor reviews, beauty of the house, 8-minute walk to the conference center, and “all are welcome here” position on their website.I made the best decision to stay with Ian and David at the Castle Park Guest House! Five out five stars for location, cleanliness, service, and value! Castle Park was my home for seven days. I believe this is the best B&B in Edinburgh. While I haven’t stayed in any other B&Bs in Edinburgh, I have stayed in B&Bs in other parts of the world, and this was truly my most wonderful B&B experience yet. My colleagues stayed at nearby hotels, paid more money than I did for their accommodations, and did not get a FABULOUS Scottish breakfast cooked to order every morning like I did. I don’t think I could have gotten a better breakfast in an actual restaurant. On the two days I had to leave early (breakfast starts at 8am), I was sent with a bag of fruits and snacks for the road.Before booking, I e-mailed the owners inquiring which room would they recommend as the quietest (I am a horrifically light sleeper). I received a quick response with a couple of recommendations. I chose the “superior double/twin room” on the second floor (Americans would call this the third floor) set under the eaves at the back of the house. The double twins can be combined to make a king-size bed. This room was perfect for me! I slept well even with the windows open every night. I used the supplied fan for white noise. There was also very good soundproofing between the rooms. I don’t know how they achieved this in a historic house, but they did.Ian and David really have thought of everything to make their guests comfortable. The room was painted in soothing colors, the artwork was tasteful (black and white photographs of Edinburgh), the bed was super comfortable with the perfect amount of pillows, the furnishings were useful, spotless, and completely intact, and the curtains were blackout so all outside light could be blocked for optimal sleeping. The shower was AMAZING - far better than my shower at home. The bed scarf and throw pillows were made with Clan Douglas tartan, which made the room feel dreamily Scottish. I have no Scottish heritage, but now I feel loyal to the Clan Douglas – ha ha! The complimentary shower toiletries were Scottish-made, high quality, and smelled lovely. My hair was so soft during my stay in Scotland! The room was outfitted with an electric tea kettle, tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, sugar, a glass water bottle, and biscuits (cookies). The room was kept spotless all week. The complimentary wifi was fast and always working.The view from this room was amazing. You look out over backyards between historic buildings and a lovely church. The folks on this street take good care of their little yards, with lots of lovely trees and roses. You can see the Holyrood hill in the distance. Just beautiful! The room served as a calming sanctuary at the end of a long day of doing tourist things and attending conference.I arrived during a heatwave. It was actually the hottest day ever on record for Scotland. Most buildings in Edinburgh (including many hotels) are not air conditioned. Castle Park Guest House is also not air conditioned and this room gets the afternoon sun. It was hot upon arrival. That being said, even with it being the hottest day on record, at night the temperature dropped to the low 70s F (about 22 C), which is the temperature I have my air conditioner set on at home anyway. As the night wore on, the room became a very comfortable temperature and the rest of the week, after the heatwave broke, the night temperatures were in the 50-60s F (about 13 C). Optimal sleeping temperature!Ian and David were kind and supportive hosts. They assisted me with efficient walking directions, pointed me in the direction of the best photo opportunities of the city, scheduled taxis for me when needed (their most trusted taxi company’s app does not work with American phone numbers), and they always had a welcoming and encouraging demeanor. They even took a look at a list of restaurants I created from my Tripadvisor research and helped me narrow in on the must visit eateries. Th

Lovely extended weekend in Edinburgh - Rating 5/5
Ignore any remaining old reviews from before 2019 saying Castle Park Guest House rooms are 'dated'. With all the hard work, love and dedication of 'new' owners/hosts Ian & David, this is definitely not the case any longer with their beautiful and modern clan-themed rooms and very smart establishment in general.From start to finish, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for them in making every guest feel special.Their attention to detail in all aspects of their business is superb from the top notch, quality breakfast selections to their ad-hoc knowledgeable and helpful tourist advice.With bus stops directly outside for at least 2 very reliable routes into the old and new town areas and a short walk to other alternative routes, there is no need to take a car or taxi if, like us, you are long-distance visitors. This came in very handy for the only rainy day of our 5 day visit.We can't thank Ian, David & Hannah enough for ensuring our stay was so pleasurable and I will be living off the brownie points for a long while to come by choosing their guest house for my wife's birthday treat.

Faultless! - Rating 5/5
From the moment I walked into Castle Park Guest House, slightly flustered with my phone on only 1% battery, I knew I was going to have a wonderful stay. Ian and David made me feel relaxed and welcome immediately, with a glass of fizz whilstchecking in, and found a spare charger for me. My room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and very tastefully decorated, as is the rest of the guest house. Breakfast was superb, including homebred bread and lots of choice (I could have had a bit of everything if I'd wanted to) and on my second day,as I had an extremely early start, they sorted me out with a breakfast I could have either in my room or on the go. Ian and David are perfect hosts, nothing is too much for them, and I will, most definitely, be back!

Very pleasant stay with very helpfull and friendly hosts - Rating 5/5
Stayed for 3 nights in this guesthouse, which is wonderfully decorated and maintainded. Luxury bedlinnen and towels, shampoo and conditioner provided, everything thougt of. Fantastic breakfast, including fruit and a snack to go. Hosts were very helpfull with information and trying to make our stay as good as possible. Enjoyed it a lot, from the "bubbles" served at arriving to the last cup of tea provided while waiting for the taxi to the airport. True hospitality over here. And for visiting the city: bus stop in front of the guesthouse will take you to citycentre in an instant.

We had an amazing long weekend in Edinburgh at Castle Park Guest House. The house has been renovated so nicely and no details are missed. The hosts are so friendly and nothing is too much for them. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order and caters for all dietary requirements. We'd definitely stay again and will recommend our friends to stay too. Thank you!

Great Short Stay - Rating 5/5
Had a great few days in Edinburgh staying at Castle Park Guesthouse. We choose to stay here due to good location, fair price and previous reviews and were not disappointed. The guest house is clean, comfortable and the hosts go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. The breakfast was cooked to order each day with great choices and if you want your eggs flipped, or your bacon a little crispier, just ask! We thank you for your time and effort in making our stay a good one, we would highly recommend Castle Park Guesthouse for a stay in this beautiful city.

Fantastic B&B - Rating 5/5
Castle Park Guest House is a fantastic B&B and made our 2-night mini-break in Edinburgh so pleasurable. Huge thank you David and Ian for fitting us in at such short notice on a Saturday afternoon after our original choice of accommodation (a nearby big-name hotel) severely let us down! But we're so happy that our misfortune led us to stay here instead.Just a short walk from Haymarket, it is well-located with a pleasurable walk to shops, restaurants and attractions like the Museum of Scotland and The Real Mary King's Close - both of which we enjoyed immensely on the recommendation of our hosts.Our top-floor room (Douglas) was spacious, modern and absolutely spotless with an extremely comfortable bed and a wonderful, roomy shower. In fact, the entire property is cosy, sparkling clean and shows incredible attention to detail.Breakfast was superb, served with a choice of delicious, aromatic pastries and wonderful home-made bread - we recommend trying everything on the menu, especially the vegetarian haggis and tattie scone if you were (like us) unfamiliar with them. Our hosts were generous and super attentive, making sure the meal was to our liking and that we didn't go hungry!We'd definitely recommend Castle Park Guest House to anyone looking to stay in Edinburgh. Make it your first choice before even thinking of any other hotel in the area - you won't be disappointed!

The perfect stay - Rating 5/5
We stayed here for 2 nights in December. Upon arrival we were immediately made to feel welcome. We were given a glass of bubbly each and informed we had been given a free room upgrade due to availability !! We were also told our room was ready early and we could check in which was fantastic. Our room was perfect. Clean, spacious and quiet. It had everything in it to accommodate our needs. The bed was super comfy! Breakfast was a highlight, there was a fantastic choice of hot breakfast and continental to choose from, as well as a selection of drinks. It was all absolutely delicious. Ian and David were the most fantastic hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they were always so helpful if you had any questions. We would absolutely come back and stay here again!

I spent two nights at CPGH. I was upgraded when I arrived and warmly greeted by one of the owners. My room was smartly updated and very comfortable. The breakfast was generous and delicious, especially the home made bread. The owners were happy to share tips on local restaurants and bars. The location was very central which made travel around the city whether on foot or bus very easy. I highly recommend the guesthouse!

The room also is very comfortable, the place in general you can see is very clean and they think about every detail. For sure, if I go back to Edinburgh I will stay with them again. This accommodation was the icing on the cake of my trip.

Simply Brilliant - Rating 5/5
Had originally planned on a day trip to Edinburgh, then found this guest house on a spur-of-the-moment search.What a find!!!My 10yo daughter and I stayed here for only one night, but we both wished we could have stayed longer.From start to finish David and Ian were truly exceptional hosts, both via email and in person - from the initial booking to our waves goodbye.I'd originally booked a double room but when I mentioned it would be just my daughter and I, we were offered a twin room for our comfort.THANK YOU!Made my daughter's trip.Moreover, we'd arrived in Edinburgh in the morning (spent it at Dynamic Earth - well worth a look!) and walking around.Despite us arriving earlier than expected, David sorted us out quickly and explained things clearly.We were provided a map of the area, including buses to take into town (the stop is literally a few metres from the guest house!).We've stayed at a few guest houses since the start of Covid, but I felt the safest here.Accommodation:The shower was HUGE!It's sometimes difficult to convince my daughter to wash daily, but she had two showers in less than 12 hours, she loved it so much.:)The beds were divine; I slept so well, as did my daughter.Breakfast was truly superb, consisting of a large range of cooked food freshly prepared.In fact, it was the smell of the freshly baked bread that actually what woke me in the morning.(Mmmmm.....a lovely way to wake.).Highly recommend the veggie haggis as well.We could have been rolled out of the room, Ian plied us with so much gorgeous food for the day!We didn't have specific plans for the day.Both Ian and David made suggestions that were brilliant.A *very* easy walk from the guest house brought us to Greyfriar's (via the school that inspired Hogwarts) and the National Museum of Scotland, as well as the Castle.I didn't realise the museum had a roof terrace - Ian mentioned it - so we made sure to have a look.The views are amazing!Highly recommend.Overall, this is a gem of a place away from the hustle and bustle, but all of that is easily accessible by foot or bus.My main takeaway from our stay is David and Ian's commitment to sustainability, subtly evident in every aspect of our stay.I cannot recommend this guest house highly enough.Brilliant.Simply Brilliant!

Such a lovely place to stay! 10/10 experience - Rating 5/5
I would highly recommend staying here! Both Ian and David were so friendly and attentive. We interacted with Ian mainly, and as soon as we got there he gave us a map and showed us the best route to the Old Town. He was always around to ask if we needed anything.The rooms were clean and newly renovated, but also homely with hints of tartan. I liked that the rooms were named Scottish clans rather than numbers (although they seemed to be missing Clan Cunningham ;) ). I also loved the smell of the sea kelp hand soap/shower gel/shampoo/conditioner provided; I’m tempted to get some for myself!We were served a delicious breakfast both mornings, with lots of choice (full Scottish breakfast, yoghurts, cereals, fruits, juices, croissants, jams, and freshly basked bread!). I am not vegetarian/vegan, but I noticed an effort to cater for that too, and I was offered oat milk which I prefer.I felt the house was in a great city-centre location, as it was on a quiet road, and about a 10/15 minute walk from the city centre, and very near The Meadows.I would definitely say that this was a COVID-safe place to stay. Despite its relatively small size (7 or so bedrooms), I had barely any interaction with other guests (in stair wells/the common room area), everyone wore face masks when walking around, there was hand sanitiser at the entrance, social distancing was in place, and we were asked if it was okay for our rooms to be entered and cleaned whilst we were out for the day.They also took our bags before we checked in, and after we checked out, which I thought was really lovely as we didn’t need to lug them around the city. Furthermore, we were told there were board games in the dining room area, which were there to be played by all guests, especially if the weather got bad.We visited Edinburgh during COP26, and hotels were getting booked/going up in price like crazy. Compared to other hotels/places to stay in Edinburgh, the cost was significantly cheaper, but that was definitely not reflected in the experience.Overall it was a lovely stay, I wish we could have stayed longer!

We were blown away by the newly renovated guest house. The Campbell room was very bright and comfortable. Everything was well laid out and clear. The breakfasts consisted of a very nice spread with different cold and hot options to suit all tastes with several homemade items including bread, croissants and pain au chocolat. The hosts were both lovely - being very attentive and flexible, willing to adapt to any requests. The only improvement that could have been made was the Great British weather! Overall, this was amazing value for money and we would love to stay again.

Ian and David's hospitality and service is second to none. I was welcomed, made very comfortable and had a great breakfast, all for a very modest price. Nothing was too much trouble. The neighbourhood is quiet but their excellent guest house is only 10 minutes from the city centre on foot and I enjoyed walking there along the lovely Union Canal. Being right beside a bus stop was pretty convenient too! You'll find a real Home from Home at Castle Park and I couldn't recommend it more highly.
