Straven Guest House

"Hi Chris & Sinead, Just to say thanks so much for the stay this weekend. You were both incredibly welcoming and friendly, and really went the extra mile to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We loved the personal touches like the homemade shampoo, delicious breakfasts, and even giving us towels for us to swim when we had technically already checked out. All the best with the roof repairs over the winter (I think you'll need it with the Scottish weather!). I'll be convincing anyone thinking of a trip to Edinburgh that there really is only one place to stay. Thanks again from us both for such a lovely stay. Best wishes, Mark & Libby"

"My wife and I spent a full week at Straven while attending The Open Championship. Chris and Sinead were incredible hosts and made us feel at home from check-in. The breakfast each morning was something we looked forward to each day. It was restaurant quality and the music (personal note here) was spot on. We’ll be back!"

"Really lovely guesthouse, we had a great 3 nights here. Breakfast was plentiful and very tasty, lots of vegan options too. Location is fab, right by the beach but easy bus ride into the city and very near Musselburgh race course ❤"

"Wonderful place with lovely rooms and nice service in a beautiful location. only a few yards from the beautiful Portobello beach and a 30 minutes bus ride from the city centre of Edinburgh. We've been there for three nights and had a great Time!"

"We have been staying at this guest house for many years and is absolutely superb. Hosts are a really lovely couple and are happy to help, assist and make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Rooms are very clean, comfortable. Quality of breakfast is excellent and there are plenty of options for all tastes. Location is superb, ideal for catching local buses that take you into Edinburgh centre, Portobello beach front is literally a 2 minute walk from the establishment and we love the relaxing, family atmosphere of the area. Highly recommended."
