The Airlie Guest House is a listed building, part of a Georgian Terrace. It is totally non smoking and personally run by proprietors Peter and Fiona Flynn.
We are located on an excellent bus route, with buses passing the Guest House every few minutes.
Our rooms are clean and comfortable and offer good value for money.
Our large private car park at the rear of the house, takes the worry out of parking, making The Airlie an ideal base for business travellers, or visitors wishing to explore the wonderful City of Edinburgh.
A full cooked breakfast is included in the price and is served between 8am an 9am daily.
Check in is from 11.30am until 8pm and check out is 10am.
On arrival you will receive a set of keys, allowing you access to the Guest House and your room at any time.
We are only one mile from the High Street, where the Castle and Holyrood Palace are located; you will also find St. Giles Cathedral and several small museums there.
Just a short walk from the High Street is Princes Street, where you can take bus tours of Edinburgh, visit the Scott Monument, enjoy a walk through Pricess Street Gardens, or do a bit of shopping.
A five minute walk from the Guest House, will take you to the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Leisure centre, where there is an Olympic size swimming pool, children's pool, diving pool and keep fit facilities.
Continuing past the Pool, you will enter the Royal Park and be able to see Arthur's Seat, which you can climb and enjoy the magnificent views of Edinburgh available from there.
Alternatively, you could drive up to the top, (my preference) and enjoy the views the easy way.
Close to the Guest House, there are a variety of eating establishments, ranging from a wonderful Indian restaurant, to Chinese, Thai, Italian, bistro food, pub grub and fish and chips.
