Lorna was an amazing host. In general, accommodation around Edinburgh is quite expensive so we found this place which was relatively affordable compared to other places and had a high rating. It is a house-turned-b&b, has 3 small rooms and a nice small dining room. Everything was super clean and Lorna was the friendliest host we have ever met. She gives you a small form to fill every night to get your breakfast preferences and time to eat. Her cooking is lovely. Definitely recommend her full Scottish breakfast with Haggis. She cooked the best haggis out of the 3 restaurants we tried. The only downside was that the place is quite far from the city (45 min bus ride - take X27) and there is only one bus that goes there but if you catch it and don't mind the travel time, it is definitely worth a stay.

Room was comfy and clean. Beautiful, nice natural environment with fresh air, and birds chirping in the morning. Excellent breakfast with abundant choices. I tried 3 different choices during my 3-night stay. All fresh and yummy! Hosts were friendly and wonderful! Would certainly stay there again next time.

Sonas was one of the best guesthouses I’ve ever been to. It was quiet, clean and location was excellent!! There were food, water, coffee and tea. We also used their free parking for our trip to the highlands. This place had everything. I highly recommend!
