Ben Cruachan Guest House

Broughton, Edinburgh

Situated in Edinburgh, near Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh Waverley station and Royal Mile, Ben Cruachan Guest House features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden and a terrace. The property is around 2.3 km from Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, 2.4 km from National Museum of Scotland and 1.7 km from The Real Mary King's Close. In good weather, guests are welcome to sit outside. I enjoyed my stay immensely. Ollie was super welcoming and I felt comfortable from the first moment. The rooms and beds are big enough and have a homely feel to them. The breakfast is insanely good. Would recommend everything but definitely try the porridge with whisky, honey and cream. I'll definitely be back whenever I visit Edinburgh. Location is near the tram as well.

Birchwood Guest Lodge

Balmaha

At the guest house, all rooms have a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. All guest rooms at Birchwood Guest Lodge come with a seating area.

Glasgow is 33 km from Birchwood Guest Lodge, while Stirling is 42 km from the property. The nearest airport is Glasgow Airport, 42 km from the guest house. The owner welcomed me when I arrived late in the evening , tired from the west highland way, and was very kind and warm! He was helpful and patient even though it was pretty late. The room was decorated so special, and had everything I needed for a good night sleep. The shower is great. The location is close to the WHW trail and was the best choice. Very close to a pub and a coffee place. I would stay there again.
