Gay Friendly Bed and Breakfasts, Hotels, and Vacation Rentals in Edinburgh

Stewart Thom and Gary Turner invite you to visit their home, Heriott Park, which is located just over 1 mile north of Edinburgh city centre. Although the guest house is not exclusively gay, you can be sure of a warm welcome from your hosts whatever your orientation.

Heriott Park was originally 3 terraced townhouses and now trades as a 16 bedroom guest house and also self catering vacation rentals. Some period features in the guest house have been retained to evoke the atmosphere and splendor of over 100 years ago when the property was built. The tastefully appointed bedrooms all have private shower/bathrooms and come equipped with televisions and tea/coffee making facilities. Items such as hairdryers and ironing equipment can be borrowed from reception. The front rooms enjoy panoramic views of the Edinburgh skyline including Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill and Edinburgh Castle, whilst the rooms to the back of the house have a peaceful view of the garden.

There is a good range of rooms including double, twin and family rooms sleeping from 3 to 5 people. A discounted rate can usually be quoted for single occupancy. Guest house rates are inclusive of a full British Breakfast but those who prefer a lighter option will find plenty to choose from on the menu.
