With free Wi-Fi in public areas, this charming Victorian house is situated in a quiet, leafy area of Edinburgh’s city centre. It is surrounded by large gardens, and has a drawing room with an open fire and period features. Decorated with beautiful antiques, the air-conditioned rooms at Claremont House are spacious and come with a TV for you to use. Each benefits from pretty views of the surrounding area, and the bathroom has a spa bath. A continental breakfast with fresh fruits, cereals, porridge and croissants is served in the morning, along with a full cooked Scottish breakfast. The wooden-floored dining room has pretty views over the garden. There is a bus stop less than 100 yards from Claremont House, with frequent buses going to the city centre. Holyrood Park is a 20-minute walk, and the old town is just a mile and a half away. Newington is a great choice for travellers interested in scenery, Old Town exploring and friendly locals.
