A special and very personalised stay from the moment you check in. It feels more like you are staying at Bonnar’s home than a hotel. Easy walking to the city.

The Scott hotel was so charming. Updated well, but still jas plenty of charming architecture. No elevator, so be prepared to walk up a couple of stairs, but it was so cute. The breakfast was absolutely lovely. Staff was very friendly. A little ways off of the royal mile, but well worth it for the quiet charm. Easily walkable. There are also busses nearby if you don't want to walk.
