It's like living at home.

The room is very clean and quiet! The bed is comfortable and the heater is hot. Jimmy and Fiona are very kind people and like them very much! They prepare breakfast according to everyone's different needs, meticulous and thoughtful, and look forward to coming again next time! Come here, you'll love it, I promise!

Everything is very well!

Lovely property with very friendly and helpful hosts

Beautiful property with onsite parking and close to several pubs, restaurants. Easy bus trip into the city. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately we couldn't get a double room as the hotel was full, so our twin room was a bit small. Also, we were in a room at the front of the property which is on the main road so it was quite noisy at night. However, I had a glimpse at the double rooms which look beautiful and if you stay at the back of the property, I'm sure it would be quiet.

Awesome.

Fiona and Jimmy thought of everything you could or would need on a getaway. Breakfast was the tops! The house was in an easily navigable area. Yes everyone should treat themselves to a stay here.

I loved it all.

Well looked after

The hosts were fantastic. There were lots of options for breakfast even for a vegetarian like me. I would highly recommend the veggie haggis! The room was spotless. Nice bed. The location is fantastic if you want somewhere near Edinburgh City centre.

Nothing!

Fantastic stay

Glenalmond house was ideally located for being close to the city centre. Jimmy and Fiona were so welcoming and couldn't do more for you. The hotel was spotlessly clean and absolutely perfect. Breakfast was excellent. We cannot fault it and will be back.

There is nothing I'd improve.

An OK stay with easy bus access to the city

Parking on site. Easy to reach the city by bus. Jimmy the host was very friendly. We got some packages delivered what we appreciated but that was no issue as well at other places we stayed.

The room is very small. Small bathroom. Host Fiona was not friendly. The breakfast was ok but not great.
