The Albyn Townhouse is our home and offers traditional accommodation. Not a walker? Edinburgh is built on 7 hills! it is not for the faint hearted. Please bear this fact in mind when booking with us & also the fact that we are not a hotel and therefore do not offer the same facilities. Breakfast baskets can be requested for a decadent breakfast in bed! There is no elevator, the Albyn is a listed Victorian building within a 4-storey, 19th-century traditional town house. Beware of heavy luggage, due to illness I am unable to carry heavier luggage than 5 kilos.
Brunstfield is a lovely quarter away from the hustle & bustle of the city but yet with many independents shops and restaurants just 2 minutes walk from us!
