recommend B&B's in Edinburgh?

On past trips we've stayed at Stuart House, 12 East Claremont Street, and Broughton Guest House, 37 Broughton Place (www.broughton-hotel.com). They are about a 15–20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. The Broughton is a couple of minutes closer to the Royal Mile, has a nice neighborhood pub one block away, and across the street from the pub is an excellent restaurant called the Olive Branch. Both places were nice, breakfasts very tasty, and the owners were accommodating. This past fall we stayed at Fraser Suites which is 1/2 block off the Royal Mile and within walking distance of the train station. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, beds very comfy, hotel has an elevator, breakfast (included in our room rate) was delicious, and you can't beat the location - right across from St. Giles Cathedral.

I stayed at The Barony House on both my visits to Edinburgh. It's 1.5 miles from the old town. Buses run frequently day/night on the street out in front of the B and B.

Not a b&b, but a very good hotel- We like the Royal British Hotel. It is across Princes St. from Waverly Train Station (near Princes St. Park). Just a short walk to Royal Mile. Excellent breakfasts, clean rooms, small elevator.
