The staff were exceptional in every way. Jackie and her team consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The food was top quality and gorgeous. The room more than met our expectations, it was really large and airy, and no roadside or bar noise could be heard at all in the bedrooms. The bathroom had both an extra large shower and a beautiful free-standing bathtub. I cannot recommend The Reaburn highly enough and will definitely return and will recommend it to anyone I know going to Edinburgh

We opted for this location for our last 2 nights in Scotland, as we wanted to treat ourselves a bit and enjoy some quiet time. It delivered much more than that. The house can be very cosy if you enjoy its style. If not, you may find it old-fashioned. But either way, its charm it’s undeniable. The effort put into maintaining the property at this high standard is remarkable. We also dined there and the service and food were impecable.

The breakfast will spoil you for the rest of you life. Every day it is special breakfast in a Georgian setting dining room. The hotelrooms are cozy and romantic by design, quiet and spacious. The location was an absolute pre, away from the massive tourisme and the busline(s) will take you every 5 minutes into town. The ride into Old town will take you only 8 minutes, in heavy traffic, from the busstop in front of the hotel. And take you back to the hotel whenever you want, with bars like the Old bell in walking distance

    The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
