To the Proprietors of Adam Drysdale House, I was made very comfortable during my stay in your House; breakfasts were varied, ample and delicious. Also appreciated was the information provided about transport, local restaurants etc. I would certainly recommend your establishment to anyone visiting Edinburgh. The only downside was with my booking which apparently wasn\'t directly with you. This meant that I was not provided with the correct address for the House and I and the taxi driver who brought me from the airport had considerable difficulty in locating you. Yours sincerely, Judith Woodward.

Adam Drysdale was absolutely the best stay of our ten days in the UK. Karen was warm and wonderful, a great conversationalist, extremely helpful and served up a great Scottish breakfast complete with haggis. I was staying with my husband and my mother-in-law. We occupied two thoughtfully furnished rooms and it was a pleasure to return to the house in the evening, with its candles and fragrances. It\'s a great place, with welcoming hosts and I would recommend it any day.
Hello, i was surprised by the friendly mood, i was overwhelmed by the wonderfull food. i was charmed about the scent of love in this house, i was feeling at home at Adam Drysdale House. Its almost impossible to resist the temptation not visiting this guest house again! best wishes Filippo Venezia
Very enjoyable stay in a convenient location frr my conference. The staff were very friendly and elpful adn the food was very welcomed in the morning. The only problem was the lack of internet in the rooms which emant I had to come down to the reeption to get online. Other than that, it was a very good experience.

I would say that this guest house is one of the best I ever stayed in. The hostess is very friendly. The breakfast is very good. I have already recommended Adam Drysdale to my friends.

WE REALLY RECOMMEND THE ACCOMODATION !!! We stayed at the Adam Drysdale House for a week (October) and one thing is sure: We really enjoyed our stay. Although the hotel was being renovated, Karen (the new owner) cared for us and made great changes. It will be awesome when the renovation is complete. Best wishes from Germany to Karen...and Roddy :) See you hopefully soon. Sabrina and Kathie

I stayed over two days. very freindly and accommodation comfortable. Breakfast was a treat. Back window was stuck open a little. However, a trifle matter. for a lovely stay Thank you.
Volgens ons typisch Scotts. Bedden kunnen wel beter en het mag ook wel gerenoveerd worden.

It was a Great and Warm stay in Adam Drysdale House. Beside the cleanliness of the room and bathroom, it provided very good Scottish breakfast during my 6 days stay. Plus, the boss Roddy is a nice and friendly person. The stay in Adam Drysdale House is definitely value worthy.
Very friendly service, particularly with regards to variation in the cooked breakfasts. Thanks!
Here it is: We really enjoyed our stay! Roddy is wonderful; friendly, helpful, everything you could want in a B&B host. The breakfasts were very good. While I\'m not in any great hurry to eat haggis again, I\'m glad I got to try it! We also found the location to be very convenient. I\'ve already recommended Adam Drysdale House to my brother, who may be spending a night in Edinburgh in September. Cathy Haar I\'m not including directions because we took a taxi from the train station.
This was my second time staying in the Adam Drysdale B&B. It is centrally located and within walking distance to Edinburgh city centre. The room is very well maintained; the beds are made daily and fresh towels provided also. There is a varied selection to choose from for breakfast. The owner is also more than happy to provide you with information on what to see while in Edinburgh. Overall the Adam Drysdale house is a friendly and welcoming place.

Yes, the service was very friendly and the rooms were clean. The B&B was in a very nice location, within walking distance to the city centre. There was a very nice breakfast each morning with many selections and the owners would cook you whatever you wanted from their menu. I was very pleased and would recommend this place to friends. The price was very decent and fair as well.

stayed at adam drysdale house in feb 2009 for the rugby.the service,rooms,breakfast,all superb,will be booking for 2011.location perfect for the rugby,all within walking distance for stadium and princess street.
Nice welcome and warm cosy room. Nice breakfasts and a good location close to the town centre. We had a lovely stay
The service was really good nd the host are really friendly. I would stay again in Adam Drysdale House and recommend it to others. What was a little unsatisfying, was that the price in the booking confirmation was not the price we had to pay. We had to pay twice the price that was announced in the booking confirmation.

We have a wonderful time @ Adam Drysdale House. The place is very cosy and we felt at home. The host and hostess made us felt very welcome. We will definately recommend anyone who would like to experience the friendly SCOTTISH flavour to come and stay with them!!

very happy with the accommadation at the drysdale,very reasonable priced. the best part without a doubt is the wonderful host`s.made to feel very welcome
We had a great stay at the Adam Drysdale House, a very spacious room and bath for British. The owners were wonderful and went above and beyond in being helpful. They told us about restaurants, pubs and buses nearby, very nice people. They took time to stop and chat with people staying in the morning at breakfast.

No Complaints, pretty much apartment was how it was described, had a great time in Edinburgh Thanks
Mike & Crista DeBenedictis
We had a great stay at the Adam Drysdale House. The accomodations were above average, clean and the location was perfect. Roddy and his wife were extremely pleasant, helpful and made a mean breakfast.
The B&B was in a perfect location with an easy 10 minute walk into the city centre. The room was reasonably small but had good facilities and was perfectly adequate for a couple of days. The freshly cooked breakfast was very nice and all of the staff were friendly and attentive.

Friendly host, comfortable accommodation and excellent breakfasts, located within walking distance to city centre Edinburgh.

The house was very nice, room was clean and all was as you would expect. Big breakfast and very helpful Rod make our city break in Edinburgh even better. Definitely recommended and if we coming back we aim to stay there again. Many thanks.

nice-warm place to stay, thankyou
I am pleased to tell you that I am truely satisfied about my stay in Adam Drysdale House. I appreciated the friendly kindness of my host Roddy (and his very good breakfast!). Service was good, my room clean and comfortable. I do not have any bad comment. Kind regards!
Thought Roddy was very hospitable, lovely breakfast, but found the noise in the bedroom from the traffic pretty annoying, so maybe putting in double glazing would help and breakfast could be a bit later on a sunday, so maybe 9-11am. Other then that, nice place!
Marián, Nacho & Cristina
First of all, a very, very friendly welcome. Rooms were clean and big enough. A good variety of fruits, yogurts and of course a well cooked full breakfast, delicious¡¡¡ But the best of this house is Roddy, he\'s very helpful and made us to feel at home. Thanks from Spain. We really hope to come back¡¡
Bruce McEwan
We stayed under the previous ownership, but found the atmosphere comfortable and the service good. We were welcomed warmly. The room was clean and comfortable.
Very helpful and friendly reception, assistance and advice. Excellent breakfasts with a personal touch. Overall very good value for money. Some of the fixtures are a little run down and in need of repair/refurbishing.

I enjoyed my stay at the Adam Drysdale House. The service was friendly and very helpful and everything clean and breakfast was lovely, although I have considered whether it is possible to sue for the unwanted weight gain! The only real criticism I would make is that at the time of year we were there, daylight ends late (10.30p.m.) and came very very early 4.30a.m. The early morning daylight particularly was a problem everywhere we stayed. When daylight came, my bodyclock responded and we were awake. This made for very short nightime sleep and rather tired feeling days. Blackout lining on the curtains would be of significant help. For a country with such long days at that time of the year, I am somewhat surprised that blackout lining on curtains is not standard. Thanks for our time there, I would be happy to recommend to anyone despite the diet considerations!.
We were very happy to have stayed at Adams Drysdale Bed and Breakfast after our long trip from the United States. We were welcomed very warmly by Roddy. The room was very sufficient and clean. The breakfast was delicious and certainly substancial for our day of sightseeing. Roddy was very helpful in giving directions and suggestions for places to see while we were in Edinburgh. We will recommend Adams Drysdale to others!

Lovely accomadation which was clean and well maintained. Good location and close to the town centre. The owners of the B&B were friendly and helped reccomend site\'s to see, places to eat and pub\'s to have a drink in. Every one was pleased with their stay there and would definitely reccomend it to others.
Ann McWhirter
We were delighted to be given the use of the attached cottage to the Adam Drysdale.For 4 girls who just wanted a weekend away this was perfect.The hosts prvided a lovely breakfast which went down very well!Everyone talks about decor being \"tired\" and yes I suppose this was, but what do you want really?The beds were clean, the cost very reasonable, and situated realy close to the centre.Fab weekend all round.
Edith Ramsey
The 2 rooms we had were both lovely. Clean and spacious. The breakfast was perfect. Staff very friendly and helpful Would defiently come again
Sonia and Mark
Just to prove write ups can be deceptive. Not the nicest place to stay. The room was cramped and the window broken. On a plus point the breakfast was ok, and the location was close to the city centre.
Sally Marsh
I stayed at Adam Drysdale from 14th to 21st May 2008. I had a lovely room, very clean and daily cleaning and tidying carried out. The service was excellent, Roddy and his wife very friendly and helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. The catering was excellent also - breakfast was wonderful every day, eveyone was catered for, again nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend Adam Drysdale House as a place to stay and hope to be able to stay there again when I next have to be in Edinburgh.
Chris Murphy
A great place to stay. Warm,friendly people, comfortable room and a brilliant breakfast. I\'d be glad to return (I was working last time, but hope to be in Edinburgh in a holiday mode and then I\'ll bring my wife). A big THUMBS UP!

If you are on a budget I can recommend this is a friendly, cheerful and hospitable guest house. The owner made us feel very welcome and the breakfast was absolutely superb and worth it by itself! It hit our budget perfectly and the rooms were spotless. My wife and I felt very welcome. Many thanks for making our weekend memorable.
