Lonely Planet review

Neil Wilson
Lonely Planet author

Dovecot House is a delightful B&B set in a Victorian garden villa in the posh western suburb of Corstorphine, seemingly a million miles from the traffic, noise and crowds of the city centre (although in reality, Princes St is only a 10-minute bus ride away).
The house, which dates from 1871, has been beautifully restored, retaining period features such as wood panelling, window shutters, panelled doors and corniced ceilings. But the decor is anything but Victorian - instead, it is beautifully light, clean and modern, blending shades of oatmeal, brown and white with stylish contemporary furniture in oak, beech and pine. There's a single room, two double rooms and a twin/family room consisting of a double and a single bed. Only the double rooms have en suite bathrooms, decked out with fluffy bathrobes and fresh flowers. The Dovecot is a good choice if you have a car - there is secure off-street parking, and the location means you don't have to drive into the city centre. It is also ideally located for visiting Edinburgh Zoo, Murrayfield rugby stadium or the Royal Highland Show at Ingliston.
