Newmills House is a delightful 18th century house set in beautiful gardens on the outskirts of Edinburgh.
Although the centre of one of the world's most attractive and vibrant cities is only minutes away, guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of the outer suburbs of the city, with views of the countryside.
Hosts David and Lois-May are animal lovers - well behaved guests' pets are welcome [if allergic to cats, please advise in advance].
From the windows of some of the rooms, it is possible to see Edinburgh Castle in the distance.
The house is full of interesting paintings, furniture and period features, including a Bechstein piano and a curved stone staircase.
Bed and breakfast guests are welcome to use the spacious and comfortable Drawing Room.
The views over the gardens extend to the Pentland Hills in the near distance - a popular walking area, well within reach of the Newmills House.
