Our take
This guest house suits golfers who value a central, historic location and direct access to Bruntsfield Links over extensive resort amenities. Its B&B format, with breakfast and a bar, is ideal for a buddies' trip or a couple focused on playing golf and exploring Edinburgh. Those seeking a full-service hotel with a spa, on-site dining beyond breakfast, or a dedicated golf concierge might find it too modest. It offers a genuine Edinburgh experience, with the convenience of being a short walk from local amenities and public transport.
- Book your tee times at Bruntsfield Links well in advance, especially during peak summer months, to secure your preferred slots.
- Utilise the nearby public transport for easy access to Edinburgh's city centre attractions after your morning rounds.
- Consider visiting in late spring or early autumn for pleasant golfing weather and fewer crowds on the course.
