The bed was so comfortable after a long journey! The shower was hot and the neighborhood very quiet. We never knew other guests were here until our breakfast and David was very accommodating and gracious and we enjoyed dining with the other travellers. Breakfast was delicious and Figgy the spaniel made us feel very welcome as well!

Gene

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owner is a welcoming, kind gentleman very accommodating about arrival and departure times. The place gives you a sense of staying in British B&Bs 50 years ago, that is, it’s definitely an older place, with some quirky, mismatched elements that can be charming. The important elements—bed, bedding, and bathroom—were clean and comfortable, and the place was affordable and convenient for driving to the airport early morning. We had to leave too early to be able to enjoy the well-reviewed breakfast. There were some parts of the room that were not particularly clean, especially a hair dryer that was sticky and, as a result, had bits of hair plastered all over it.

What a fabulous place. David was a wonderful host. The room we had was large , the breakfast was great. The Spybank is in a perfect place to explore Edinburgh. The 44 bus is just around the corner takes about 29 to 25 minutes to get to the city. Highly recommended place to stay.

Had a lovely time at Spylaw and David was an excellent host. Breakfast was very good and plentyful. Parking was great as was the bus to get into Edinburgh. We stayed in the Robert room and suggest the following need attention to improve our view. The television did not work and apparently not for 30 days according to the error code, dust on the television and cabinet quite thick. Unfortnately the bathroom had black hair on the floor and dust on the shelf behind the toilet cistern. The towels were discoloured and very hard. These are suggestions only.
