“Amaryllis Guest House is a find: close to Edinburgh's heart yet peacefully removed from the bustle, this adults-only guesthouse balances city access with tranquil retreats. The hosts offer insights into local dining, plus the well-maintained rooms include thoughtful extras, while the option for arranging Highland day trips adds a layer of convenience. I think its personalized touches and garden views offer a particularly appealing stay.”
