Bus 31 stops right outside and runs frequently into town, while the Airlink 100 bus from the airport also stops on Glasgow Road, a short walk away. Free private parking is available on-site, with space for up to eight cars, making the location ideal for both airport stopovers and driving into the city without paying parking charges.

Accommodation

Spacious, clean rooms with private bathroom, fridge, and tea/coffee facilities, in a quiet setting.
Rooms are large and fitted with a private bathroom, carpeted floors, a flat-screen TV, an electric kettle, and a fridge. Tea, coffee, and toiletries are replenished daily. Free toiletries, ironing facilities, and a hairdryer are provided. Some rooms have garden views and are in a separate annexe at the back, making them especially quiet even though the property is on a main road. Double-glazed windows help keep out road noise. Most rooms have walk-in showers; one small step at the entrance of the bungalow makes it accessible for guests with a folding walking frame. There is no air conditioning, so on warm days the room can feel warm and humid; portable fans are not provided but a kettle and fridge are available. A family room with up to four beds is also available.

No breakfast is served on-site, but the room has a fridge and kettle, and many nearby dining options exist.
Craigievar Guest House does not provide breakfast or any restaurant dining. Each room includes a fridge and a kettle with tea and coffee (instant coffee).

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the free on-site parking and the bus stop right outside to reach the city centre in 20 minutes, avoiding Edinburgh's parking costs.

  • 02

    Take advantage of the self-check-in system for late arrivals or early departures.

  • 03

    Plan for meals: there is no breakfast service, but the room has a fridge, kettle, and tea/coffee; nearby supermarkets, fast food, and restaurants are within a 10-minute walk.

  • 04

    If noise disturbs you, check the room location immediately upon arrival and request a room away from the main road, as this is a bungalow with limited room swaps.
