Kincardine Vacations from $745

Heating was off despite freezing temperatures

This was a basic guest house, which did not serve breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable. We briefly saw the staff at check-in and check-out; otherwise, no real interaction with them. The house is a 2-minute walk to the tram, which was convenient to go into central Edinburgh. The noise level was a little high due to its proximity to Leith Walk, a busy street for buses and the tram.

We had booked an en suite room (Rm8). The check in was easy and room although basic ie a d/bed (which was comfy enough) and large tv was clean as was bathroom. It had tea and coffee and it was quite quiet. Room was well heated. Only down sides were only 1 very flat pillow each which was not ideal for sleeping(we didn’t get back until near 11pm so nobody there)and shower hose stand was broken at top making it hard to shower without holding(left note). Both issues easily resolved and given price location etc - it was ideal for 1 night

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay! No issues getting too and from, checking in, and such. Only issue we had that I believe I did see in another room, was the smell of the bathroom (or so I think)… it does sort of “go away” when staying in the room, but when using the bathroom or entering the room again, it was hard to adjust too. We only stayed one night, but might have looked to change rooms (#2) if we had stayed longer.

Staff were lovely, although we had a few issues with the room. 2 broken plug sockets, one of which had caused an electrical fault and was covered in soot, the other with a broken plug still inside it. The Hot plate would take 90 minutes to cook anything. The shower leaked across the floor and one of the radiators was broken. I was supplied a bread knife for general cooking, which made food preparation difficult.
