4-star family-run Victorian guest house with free on-street parking in Edinburgh

Historic Setting

Highfield Guest House occupies a 4-star Victorian building in Edinburgh's Newington residential area and is run by the same family. Original Victorian character is visible throughout the house, and the home-like hospitality is uncommon in larger hotels. Free on-street parking is available in the vicinity, a rarity in central Edinburgh accommodations.

Location and Transport

Highfield Guest House is 1.9 km from the University of Edinburgh and 2.5 km from the National Museum of Scotland. Edinburgh Castle is 3.3 km away, and Arthur's Seat is nearby. Public buses from nearby stops connect to all major Edinburgh sights, while Edinburgh Airport is 12 km from the hotel.

Rooms

Highfield Guest House has five rooms, including family, twin, and double rooms. Each room has a private bathroom, garden views, and a work desk. An outdoor seating area at Highfield Guest House includes outdoor furniture.

Family and Business

Family rooms at Highfield Guest House accommodate groups, and board games and puzzles are available on site. Business travelers have access to fax and photocopying services at Highfield Guest House. Daily housekeeping, a designated smoke-free environment, and Newington's quiet residential area are part of the stay.

“My stay at Highfield Guest House was marked by an exceptional level of hospitality; the hosts' personal touches, like hand-drawn bus maps and helpful local advice, made navigating Edinburgh effortless. The comfort found in the well-appointed rooms, particularly the outstandingly comfortable beds, ensured a truly restful experience. This quiet haven, easily accessible by bus, makes for a welcoming return to the city.”
