Hillcroft

Located on the southern side of Edinburgh, this delightful detached town house offers spacious accommodation.

Hillcroft Bed and Breakfast is quiet and peaceful, but it is close enough for convenient and easy access to Edinburgh city centre.

There are public and private golf courses within walking distance, many of which overlook the Edinburgh skyline.

There are southerly views to the Pentland Hills from Hillcroft, which was built in the early 1920's.

The conservatory is available for guests to use at any time and overlooks the patio and rear garden.

Hillcroft Bed and Breakfast is run by Anne and Mike White, who also offer an excellent range of day trips to guests.

Accommodation is bright and airy but most importantly, it is very comfortable. Each bedroom is equipped with:

• Colour television and radio
• Wash basin and hairdryer
• Tea and coffee making facilities

The main bathroom has a shower as well as a bath - with permanently hot water.

An additional bathroom is available for guests to use, as is a separate small kitchen.

The cosy double bedded room has a heated blanket for use on chilly nights. The twin room also has a homely atmosphere and both bedrooms have ample adjustable heating.

At Hillcroft guests are served 'the best breakfast in Scotland!' Special diets are happily catered for, but the usual cooked menu includes:

• Eggs - boiled, poached, fried, scrambled
• Bacon and sausages [or kippers]
• Tomatoes and mushrooms
• Porridge

Tea, coffee, cereal, fruit juice, fruit compote, toast and croissants are also available.
