Caledonia House

Lindsay was a lovely host. Nothing was too much trouble. I had a very lovely room and the bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was good and I appreciated the shampoo etc. Thankfully to have a tv in the room. It makes all the difference when travelling alone. The breakfast was wonderful. So much choice and so much!

I found the pillows really uncomfy, too bulky. I was slightly embarrassed to be able to hear adjoining guests whilst I was in my toilet. But, I understand there isn’t a way round that. Although Lindsay kindly made me a flask,I love my tea and missed having that facility in my room. That being said they are only minor issues and personal to me.

It’s extremely clean and well-kept. Lindsay is a very warm and accommodating host who’s always ready with a pot of tea if you need a break. The neighborhood is the quietest I’ve been in in a long time. Lindsay also keeps beautiful gardens in both the front and back. And the breakfast is very filling!

This is nothing against the property itself, but if you’ll be going into Edinburgh every day (which I was doing for Fringe), just be advised it’s about a 40-minute train ride to Waverley.

The host, Lindsey, was very warm and accommodating.

The boiled eggs could have been a wee bit softer.

Easy to find , friendly

Comfortable

Close to train station and Rosyth port. Lindsay was very welcoming and friendly.

Nice comfortable room. Decent breakfast.

Just be aware since this is a guest house, need to make contact with the host

The room is very cozy, and I can confirm that the property is pet-friendly — just make sure to inform the owner in advance about your pet. As described, the room is ensuite and part of the owner’s house. I was truly struck by the owner's kindness.

Host is lovely, very accommodating and helpful. Bed is clean and comfortable. Good clean shower. Good size room (family room). Nice location. Great breakfast.

Decor, furniture, bed/bedding etc it’s very mix match. Curtains were really thin and hardly blocked any sun getting in, blackout blind or curtains definitely needed for guests staying in summer.

Not much really, however the host was very welcoming and friendly.

House is stinking of stale cat urine. Downstairs toilet was the worst, carpet had been clawed badly by cats and the smell was acrid. I was staying in single room, I could hardly get myself in the room let alone anything else. Luckily I was travelling light and stayed only one night. The room smelled badly of cat urine. Bed was a standard single with mattress with a small double size bamboo mattress topper and also a king size 13.5 tog duvet doubled over ontop of that. Duvet itself was single 13.5tog and temperatures outside overnight were well into the 20's so I was absolutely beyond melted! Bathroom upstairs had toilet positioned directly above my bed, I was wakened at 5am with several users, I could hear every deposit and flush which was extremely loud and not to mention annoying as I was very tired and couldn't get back to sleep as a direct result of all the coming and going. Breakfast consisted of 4 types of boxed cereal, cold white toast (no alternative option available), jam marmalade peanut butter chocolate spread, oranges apples bananas, 2 very hard boiled eggs and a massive pot of tea with only one teabag in it, so it was like dishwater. Bathroom upstairs was shared with other guests, 2 electric toothbrushes sat on sink, room smelled of cat urine too. Overall, very disappointing and definitely not worth the money charged. I would not recommend until host remedies hygiene issues within the property.

Breakfast exelent room comfy

Would have liked to seen kettle in room for cups tea

handy for rail link to Edinburgh separate downstairs toilet and sink The lady owner Lindsay was extremely personable and put on a nice breakfast continental style

economy room was just about big enough for myself and the dog if i shuffled my case so i could open the door to get us both out. Maybe booking .com should say not suitable for dog in that room shower and shared bathroom upstairs to share with other guests - tricky didn't use

Very enjoyable stay with a lovely morning breakfast

Nothing

First and foremost, Lindsay is a great host! Super friendly and knowledgeable, happy to help us get sorted out. The location was perfect for getting into Edinburgh for our touristy visit to the city. Train station is an easy walk from this property.

Very Friendly, handy for road and rail links. Nice breakfast (included) to start the day

Separate bathroom but it was very close to the room and always free when needed.

The listing on Booking.com is misleading. The property is advertised as a B&B, but it’s actually a room rental in a shared house with a shared bathroom. The “double bed” was a 3/4-sized frame with a double mattress, which was not suitable for two people — one of us ended up sleeping on the floor, after rolling off the bed several times. We were also disturbed during the night by other guests using the shower around 1am. The noise was so loud it felt like it was coming from inside our room. This stay was particularly disappointing as we were in town to run the Edinburgh Marathon and had a very poor night’s sleep beforehand.

We arrived after a long journey, after being shown to our room, our host was most welcoming presented us with a lovely hot pot of coffee, the room was very comfortable and very clean, bathroom with good shower, we had dogs with us has we were attending a dog show the next morning, no extra charges for them and there was a park across the road where we take them for a walk. Breakfast in the morning was excellent , fresh juices, coffee toast jams, cereals, eggs, cheese selection of meats, absolute little gem find for an overnight stay area is also very peaceful and easy distance for everything.

Couldn’t fault this stay at all

Very homely . Easy to find.

We found the whole property & communication rather odd.

Where to start…The communication, the smell from the property, the room was dated and see through curtains didn’t keep the light out. Very very basic, nothing in the room, no kettle or self catering stuff. No way to make a drink, or eat food, felt unclean. Breakfast was okay, again basic, staff I would say a little much.

Convenient for train station

Although bedroom and en-suite were basic and clean felt there was a lingering unclean smell throughout the rest of the accommodation.

Lindsay is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. She recommended a local restaurant for supper on the evening of my arrival which was delicious and advised on potential locations to walk my dogs the following morning.

Really enjoyed my stay and Lindsay was great and couldn't do enough for me. Really friendly, offered me cup of tea whenever I wanted one. Room was small but it was only me and didn't spend much time in there. Alloweed to use the dining room. Very close to train and bus stationm Would 100% stay again. Thank you for having me.

Nothing

My family and myself had a pleasant stay at Caledonia house. The host Lindsay is very kind and helpful. We wish all the best to Caledonia house..

Facilities all good, comfy bed and lots for breakfast

Nothing, all good

A cozy British-style house. We booked a room with a bathroom. The room is clean, the landlady is very polite. For breakfast there were cereals, eggs, sandwiches with different types of cheese and jam, tea or coffee to choose from. It's convenient that there is a parking space. I recommend

Very friendly hostess. Clean. Convenient location for Edinburgh and elsewhere.

Some complementary shampoo could have been provided. Insufficient parking. A decent breakfast which could have been more substantial for non-meat eaters, especially considering they pay the same as meat eaters. For example, vegetarian sausages, kippers or field mushrooms could have been provided in place of meat. Quite a crowded and cluttered room. In summer, a less heavy duvet should be provided - it was too hot.

Very warm welcome. Host was extremely helpful. Everything super clean and comfortable. Close to the station

The single room is quite small and might be a bit of a challenge for more than a night or two, although there is a television and comfortable seating in a separate room for guests to use

Lindsay the owner was SO accommodating..... Friendly, welcoming and couldnt have been more helpful. Serves a delicious breakfast too....❤ Location, price and room were perfect. Beds very comfortable, rooms large but cosy. Happily allowed my dog to stay too. Free shower gel available too.... Had a fantastic sleep and lovely hot shower. Would definitely stay here again. Thankyou

Nothing.

The host was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent and very good quality breakfast. Bed was super comfortable and I had an excellent sleep.

I would have preferred an en suite room but I was late booking.

Breakfast was brilliant. Lovely cosy bed. Friendly and kind host.cant think of anything.
