Blinkbonny House is a beautiful, traditional detached bungalow built in the 1930’s on what was formerly an apple orchard, part of the old Blinkbonnie Estate, (later changed to Blinkbonny) situated on the west side of Edinburgh in one of the finest districts of the city.
Blinkbonny House sits on an elevated position overlooking a tree-lined park to the rear of the property. The rooms to the rear of the house have a spectacular outlook over the surrounding area.
Blinkbonny House is in an excellent location for easy access into the city centre. It is only a 5 minute bus ride to Princes Street or a pleasant 20 minute walk past some of Edinburgh’s splendid Victorian dwellings and tree lined streets.

Within easy walking distance the shops and gardens of Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle, the National Gallery of Modern Art, Royal Botanical Gardens, Murrayfield Rugby Stadium and Stockbridge, a conservation area renowned for its antique shops and excellent restaurants.
Also only a few minutes walk to the Craigleith Shopping Centre where you will find a large supermarket with restaurant, Chemist’s and many more shops.

We are a small family run B&B and we aim to cater for all your needs. We will provide you with a front door key so that you can come and go as you please. We are happy to greet you from late flights and ensure that you get a cooked breakfast for those early starts.

Very kind and helpful people! Very familiar atmosphere. In a quiet area but still in walking distance to downtown (or by bus). Next time we'll need an accomodation in Edinburgh we will certainly try there first.

I was only able to stay at Blinkbonny House for one night, but I wished I had been able to stay longer! The owner was so welcoming and pleasant - the best service I have ever gotten. The facilities were clean and comfortable, and exactly as described on the website. Breakfast was wonderful as well, and the owner accommodated our early departure time easily and with pleasure. The B&B is within easy access of downtown Edinburgh by bus. This was probably the best place I have ever stayed.

The warm welcome and helpfullness of the B&B owner(s). Futhermore the whole interior of the B&B is warm and makes you feel at home. And last but not least, the owner (Shaun) was very helpfull and nothing was to much for him. He wants to give his guests a really good stay at his B&B.

Good location and service. Maybe due to Edinburgh Festival fares were really too high for what received.

I enjoyed my short stay with Sean. I wish I could have stayed longer. I am planning to go back and I will hope to stay at Blinkbonny House. It was everything the ad said it was and more. Even the breakfast was exactly like the picture. We had to cut our visit short by one day because of scheduling error on our part. Sean provided information that helped us very much to attain transportation on short notice. He also made us sandwiches and provided us with fruit juice for out trip. Cant say enough about him and his wife. The place was very cozy and comfortable.

Really nice place and staff, the room where very big and lovely decorated. The only inconvenient is that the house is not in the center of Edimburgh, its about 10-15 min by bus from royal mile, but it can be an advantage if you re travelling with small children.

The owner of the property is a nice and considerate man. Though there is a share bath, he arranged us on the upper floor without other guests (good privacy). Thank you! The breakfast is of home-made style by the nice owner!
