"Have just returned home from a wonderful two night stay at Dovecot House. This beautiful Guest House is the cleanest and most welcoming guest house I have ever stayed in. Plenty of parking and no need to take the car out. A short bus ride into Edinburgh is a stone throw away. The rooms are large, cosy ,bright and just beautiful. Maggie could not be more helpful. Her Scottish breakfast was beautifully served and so good! No need for lunch when you stay here! Five Stars from me."
"We have just returned from our second visit to Dovecot House, the first being about 2 years ago. Maggie (the proprietor) still maintains the excellent standards previously found and is as warm and friendly as ever. This visit was to have been made a year ago but was cancelled due to the bad winter and Maggie had kept us informed of conditions in the area right until the last minute enabling us to make the decision not to travel. Don't be put off by Dovecot House being a little out of the city centre. The frequent and cheap bus service it is both quicker and cheaper than finding and paying for a parking space in the centre of Edinburgh."
"Many thanks to host Maggie MacKenzie for her lovely warm welcome on our return visit to Dovecot House. It is a pleasure to stay in Maggie's beautiful home. Our Scottish breakfasts were delicious and the cosy garden room was ideal - with the birds and a pet rabbit to entertain us! Our son and his partner thought their double en-suite room was lovely and the house is so well situated for both local shops and restaurants and for bus journeys into the city. Maggie is a mine of information and nothing is too much trouble for her or husband Colin. We highly recommend Maggie and Dovecot House and look forward to our next visit, which we hope will be soon."
"I absolutely loved my week that I stayed here. Maggie could not be more accommodating and welcoming and helpful. It was just a short bus trip to the city itself and there was a couple of good places to eat not far away. A must stay!!"
"Beautiful clean guest house, just as described, "a home from home". Maggie was just delightful and was always on hand to make sure everything was up to expectations. Lovely room with great views across to the distant hills. Breakfast was lovely. Five minute journey by bus into Edinburgh. My first visit to Scotland and it was certainly memorable and would not hesitate in returning to this guest house or Edinburgh. Great trip."
"The Best B&B anyone could ask for. Top service, bed so comfortable and room large, light and airy. Good location for catching the bus into the city. Maggie went out of her way to assist us. Her cheery, friendly nature is amazing, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfasts were so good."
"Maggie and Colin are a delightful couple and make you feel so welcome. The facilities are very nice, modern, clean and attractive. The location is easy to get into town from and there are lots of amenities within easy walking distance. Breakfast was very good quality and Maggie made slight changes daily to keep it interesting. She was most helpful giving tour advice, not only about Edinburgh but helping us plan our Highlands tour. Dovecot House was by far our best value and the stay where we felt most welcome."
"Maggie and Colin give you a warm and friendly welcome. Accommodation is second to none, bedrooms are modern and bright and en-suite is available. We travel to Edinburgh every year for the Military Tattoo and stay here. Food is excellent, good choice of breakfast. Wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else.
"This is the second time we have stayed with Maggie at Dovecot and we will certainly return again. The standard of accommodation is superb with stylish yet comfortable rooms and the warmth of welcome cannot be faulted. You really do feel like friends of the family. Maggie goes out of her way to provide details of local restaurants, amenities and attractions and will book taxis and tables for you to dine out. This is a real gem of a place."
"Dovecot House is in a very pretty location and only 2 minutes walk to bus stop with buses every 5 minutes or so into centre of Edinburgh. The accommodation is SOOOO!! comfortable with lovely beds and bed linen and the rooms are luxuriously furnished. The breakfast is extremely good and Maggie, the owner of the house, so friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone, and will definitely stay here next time I am in Edinburgh."
"We stayed there 2 nights and our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Maggie gave us a card showing what bus numbers to catch to go to town. She even posted my wife's bracelet that she left behind there to one of our other destinations in Scotland. The breakfasts were plentiful and the lawns and gardens there were superb. If you want to stay out of town in a quiet location then this is it. A bus trip was about 20 minutes into town. I would highly recommend this place."
"We travelled, from Australia, to the UK in August '09 and travelled throughout the north of England and Scotland. The DOVECOT HOUSE was by far the best B & B we stayed in. The only shame is... wished we'd stayed there longer than 3 nights. Do yourself a favour and stay here - you wont be disappointed. Maggie and her husband were so welcoming, helpful and catered for our every need. Providing area maps, local knowledge and a real sense of security. The rooms were beautifully appointed and had everything you could want. The breakfasts were sensational too. They are fantastically located.. short bus to Edinburgh. 5 minute walk to Corstorphine village. Cannot recommend this B & B enough. BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. We'll be back for sure."
