Susan and Paul have got just what it takes to give their guests a wonderful time: they truly desire to be excellent hosts and if anything is wished for (and within reason possible to be done) they will go for it and provide it. This is something one rarely encounters while travelling and therefore their place and work is worth more than a five star rating. Guests have the possibility to relax as they do not have to worry over anything. We found the other guests to be respectful and very friendly too - so Barony House is really the place to be in Edinburgh. Not too close to the crowds and traffic of the city centre during the festival and a away from all the crowds, but within walking distance (walk through Meadow Park!) Plus there is excellent public transport to Edinburgh centre that gets you there in about 10-15 minutes, depending on city traffic. Just hop on board a bus - you can pay for cheap bus tickets with a (debit) card so no panic! Next time Edinburgh would definitely mean a come back to Barony for us.…

The breakfast, location, hosts and accommodations were all wonderful. The hosts had great recommendations and were alway super helpful with any need we had. My husband loved that they had an honesty bar, and the taxi button in entryway was so convenient. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful stay at the Barony House celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we were welcolmed by host Paul who was so passionate about his B&B and told us all about the history of the house and how he and his wife Susan took over the property and reburbished it to its outstanding high standards, the whole property is beautiful and the attention to detail is top notch, we stayed in the Royal Room which was beautiful and a lot of attention had gone into the design , beautiful decoration, lovely furniture and special personal touches such as a large Tv with Netflix, the B&B also has a seperate room with a well stocked honesty bar with many extra facilities, the Breakfasts were first class, beautiful ingredients and great choice which you order the evening before on the B&B App, Highly reccomended B&B in Edinburgh and if you want a 5 star experience at a reasonable price this is the place to stay !!…

We had a fabulous stay at The Barony House whilst in Edinburgh for a concert. We were met by Paul who is an absolute hoot!!! Really friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We can see why The Barony is so popular as Paul is so welcoming and very funny. He is extremely passionate about his industry and giving his house guests the best possible visit. Our room was delightful with a great view of the surrounding gardens. The bed was extremely comfy and we had a great sleep. The breakfast is one of the best we have had in a B&B / Hotel, with locally sourced produce to a very high standard. Susan's Blueberry Pancakes were to die for, as was her homemade yoghurt. Simply delicious! Unfortunately, we were only there for one night but we will definitely be back and have highly recommended it to friends and family. We are delighted that we have found a real gem in the Capital.…

Highly recommend Barony House for your stay in Edinburgh. The breakfast was superior - freshly made with quality ingredients. It was nice to have a variety of choices from the Full Scottish to Susan's delicious specialties. We had the room at the top of the stairs and it was quiet, comfortable and overlooked the garden. Barony House is very convenient to the University, Holyrood Park and Arthurs Seat. The bus line into the city center is right outside. It was perhaps a 20 minute, easy walk to the Royal Mile via The Meadows park. There were a number of good eateries in the Barony neighborhood offering everything from pub grub to Bistros with cocktails. We stayed 4 nights and were sad to leave the comforts and familial atmosphere offered by Paul and Susan. If I am fortunate enough to visit Edinburgh again I hope to stay at Barony House. …

Wonderful Edinburgh vacation enhanced by our hosts Paul and Susan, owners of the Barony House. Their bed and breakfast exceeded our expectations—comfort, service and quality were all top notch and Susan’s breakfasts were outstanding. Communication prior to our visit was extremely helpful and continued throughout our stay. The Barony House is on our return visit list for sure!

Barony House came highly recommend by friends that had stayed here previously, and Paul & Susan did not disappoint! Their love for not only the house but their town & job shines through in every way possible. Much time & care has been put into every item, be it the handmade decorations, beautiful antiques found throughout the house or the AMAZING bread made daily. Paul makes sure you get the vacation you’re looking for. We wanted to see historical castles & Paul made sure to mark the best places to go on our map. Mentioning we were staying at Barony House got us discounts at several lunch spots he’d pointed out too. Susan’s breakfasts were 5 star (Jonathan is still dreaming of her omelet!) The beds were extremely comfortable, and the decor was top notch. Our room’s sublime quiet was only broken but the birds happily chirping. It was so quiet that I only heard the person in the next room when they closed their door in the morning to go up for breakfast & I was surprised to see a full house in the dining room! I’d return in a heartbeat!!…
