Kew House
Welcome to Kew House, a contemporary and stylish guest house in West Central Edinburgh offering fabulously designed en-suite accommodation. Kew House was sympathetically renovated to retain the features and charm of its long history dating back to 1860, whilst at the same time all the requirements of the discerning, modern traveller have been included in the guest bedrooms.

Each bedroom has been individually created with you in mind using soft colours, mood lighting and a combination of modern furniture and designer fabrics. At Kew House the comfort of our guests is our first priority. From our spacious residents lounge and our garden to the freshly prepared breakfast from our extensive menu, using locally sourced ingredients.
Services
Our philosophy at Kew House since opening in 1992 is to ensure our guests are treated as individuals in a totally relaxed atmosphere where your accommodation is designed with you in mind and is immaculately clean. Your hosts Ian and Alan, offer unobtrusive and friendly attention and service to ensure you lack for nothing during your stay.

Great welcome, even down to the eclair toffees in reception to the comfortable bed and fridge for fresh milk and chilled water in your room. Breakfast is plentiful and just perfectly prepared.
On the more expensive side but well worth it.

My wife and I stayed here last year during Easter and it was such an impressive and amazing experience. Both hosts were friendly and lovely people to speak to. Super clean and very good breakfast too. Ideal location, not too far from Edinburgh Zoo and Castle, can catch a bus to each location within 5 - 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend staying here and my wife and I are planning on making another trip here again in November this year.

I haven't actually stayed at Kew House, but was due to stay at a competitor nearby.
I would like to say a massive thank you to Kew House employee Iain (Ian?), with whom I spoke on the phone who confirmed with me that the competitor had actually closed down 3 weeks ago.
Iain was abundantly helpful, both forthcoming with information about the competitors closure, who I'd be best to contact about my reservation and with other suggestions within my price range. (Sadly although beautiful, Kew House is not within my budget).
I hope Iain gets the recognition he deserves.
Outstanding customer service

We had a great couple of days in Edinburgh, made even better by Ian and Alan at Kew house. Fabulous room, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was really tasty. Highly recommended, would definitely visit again.

Ian and Allen were amazing hosts. The location is right on the bus line. The place was welcoming and immaculate. They send you off each morning with a great breakfast. Past that - they gave us recommendations on some off the path restaurants, shopping, and sites. When we left it felt like we had gained 2 friends. I promise when we return we will stay with them!

Our stay was incredible. Nothing was too much for Ian and Alan. Directions on where to park were clear and easy to follow. Check in was friendly and warm. The room was immaculate with sherry and chocolates on arrival. The entire stay from beginning to end was perfect. I was not expecting to be in as good a position to the centre as we were and it turns out the hotel is directly opposite a bus stop for 3 busses directly into the centre. The walk is also very pleasant and takes less than half an hour with lots of coffee shops and pubs to visit along the way!
100% we will be returning. Thank you

I've only stayed in about thirty B&B's in my vacations from the US to the UK and Ireland over the last 15 years, but Kew House is the best one overall. It's run by two experienced professionals who have set the standard for how a B&B should be run. They've found the secret sauce.
They maintain the highest standards in all areas of the business. The showers have amazing water pressure and the breakfasts are so delicious that you'll almost forget how good your shower was.
The propietoares are warm, knowledgeable, and attentive hosts. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

My wife and I recently stayed at Kew House while in Edinburgh. Words cannot describe how wonderful this B&B is!
Conveniently located, there is a bus stop directly in front that goes to both the airport and central Edinburgh.
The owners, Ian and Allen, warmly welcomed is upon arrival and showed us to our spacious and clean room.
Each morning we were treated to a cooked to order Scottish breakfast, and in mornings where we had to be out before breakfast we had a breakfast tray delivered to our room the night before (sorry about the confusion with the refridgerator Allen!)
We highly recommend

Thank god we stayed at the Kew House. My husband got traveler's flu and without a B&B run so professionally and kept so clean, he would definitely have gotten worse. The proprietors were extremely helpful, not only in a tour-guide sense but in helping us get to hospital and explaining how things work. The room was very clean and modern, and while small was extremely comfortable (excellent bed). Sherry and chocolates upon arrival, a mini fridge, an excellent bathroom and shower, and a lovely fresh-cooked breakfast. Very accomodating and about a 20 minute walk into the center of town - even

I hesitate at writing this review as I don't want to find I can't get a room here next time I visit Edinburgh. 5 stars are not enough

My Partner and I stayed at the Kew House this May. We loved everything about it. The owners were fantastic! They were very welcoming, went above and beyond with kindness and help when needed. The location is excellent, easy access for transit, parking out back for those with a car (not needed) as the center is easy walking distance.Our room was lovely as well. Spacious and comfortable. Breakfast had excellent choices from the healthy options to the delicious full breakfast! Highly recommended.
