The complete experience was amazing. It was sad that I couldn't meet Elizabeth due to personal issues, but her daughter was excellent, and they gave me a non-required compensation for the breakfast. I strongly recommend this lovely place to stay in their Scotland vacations.

It was a pleasure hosting at Innisfail Edi by Raffaella . They were respectful of the house rules, kept the apartment clean, and communicated well throughout their stay. I would gladly host them again!”I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this hosting and accommodation! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The property was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay—cozy bedding, a well-stocked , and modern amenities. The location was ideal, close to local attractions yet peaceful for a relaxing retreat. The host went above and beyond, providing thoughtful recommendations for dining and activities, making my trip truly memorable. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional stay! Thank so much Raffaella for your lovely and warm hosting. Mohamed.

I am very satisfied with my stay at this place. Ms. Margaret was a gracious and welcoming host. Everything was neat and clean, and the overall atmosphere was truly pleasant. I would highly recommend this room to anyone. The location is also excellent—just a 7-minute walk to the bus stop, with only a 15-minute ride to the city center. Both the conditions and the ambiance were definitely a plus.

This room was fantastic and the host was both kind and accommodating. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in. All necessities were there - USB plugs, hair drier, bath robe. Extra heater in case one runs cold. Great value.

This is a home-stay. We were so fortunate to stay in an extra room in the family’s house. They were very kind and accommodating. We spent the evening visiting with their parrot and two bunny rabbits. The parrot was a comical bird that was very entertaining and took an instant liking to my wife. The three bridges that cross over the inlet north of Edinburgh were all visible from the window in the kitchen. Our room overlooked the garden. Any food, entertainment, shopping or need was just a very short walk away from the house. Many restaurants were available to us, we only had to choose our liking. The owner was very crafty, all the walls and rooms were carefully decorated with sayings, pictures, kick-knacks and such as to make the home seem special.
