The Experience

This gracious Georgian house is a 10-minute walk from Princes Street. Step into a warm, raspberry-painted hall that’s lined with art, then settle in a graceful dining room with decanters on the sideboard and a welcoming home-baked something.

Bedrooms are elegant and comfortable with whisky and wine on a tray and smart bathrooms. Wake for breakfast at a beautifully polished table – Angela makes a great Scottish breakfast with black pudding from one of Edinburgh’s best-known butchers (just around the corner) and eggs all different ways. She will also happily rustle up “posh yoghurt” with seasonal sliced fruits, porridge or muesli, croissants and toast along with plenty of coffee, newspapers and chat – she’s easy to talk to and loves having guests to stay.

A short walk gets you to everything: the tram to Murrayfield, art galleries in Princes Street Gardens, museums in Chambers Street, Multrees Walk and George Street’s independent shops. Waverley station is 10 minutes.

Reviews

Ideally located in this central part of town you will be spoilt with sightseeing choices and places to dine, all recommended by Angela. She is the perfect hostess and her breakfasts with the morning papers will set you up for the day. Beautiful bedrooms with a night cap (whiskey) wait by your bedside before you sleep. For sure, 14 Hart street will stay in your "heart" after a stay here. Enjoy!!

Gavin, London

Lovely house and room. Fantastic location - walking distance to the old town, train station, galleries etc. A charming host who cooks up a delicious breakfast.


Francois, Montréal

Angela is a lovely host. A warm welcome, a perfect location close to the tram and en vogue districts, a breakfast prepared according to our wishes and great conversations. We would have taken a whole week. We highly recommend it.


Sharon, Nottingham

We very much enjoyed our 3-night stay at 14 Hart Street. The room and en suite were lovely as was the dining room where we all gathered for an abundant, made-to-order breakfast each morning. The location was wonderful, as well. Angela was an attentive, accommodating, and helpful host.


Craig, USA

14 Hart is a great place to stay in Edinburgh. It’s close to the airport tram and a simple walk to the Waverley train station. It’s also an easy walk to the remainder of New Town and a convenient distance to the Royal Mile. The room was well appointed and very comfortable. I cannot say enough about the host. She was very gracious and accommodating. She had good recommendations for area dining as well. I’ve stayed at several locations in Edinburgh; I would put this one at the top of my list.


Location

The neighbourhood

Hart Street is part of a small, well-preserved and peaceful Georgian area a short walk from the East End of Princes Street. There are many outstanding restaurants nearby, and it’s in easy striking distance of the North Bridge - the link between the New Town and the Old Town - and all the main attractions of this wonderful city: the castle, the Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace, art galleries and more. A direct bus or tram gets you to Murrayfield for international sporting fixtures and concerts in around 20 minutes. The annual Tattoo and Fringe festivals are held every August.

Local points of interest from Angela Wilson

  • 14 Hart Street lies at the centre of Edinburgh - within the New Town and a short distance from the North Bridge and Princes Street.
  • The great museums, galleries and historic buildings of the city can be reached easily and happily on foot, and we are an ideal base for the Edinburgh Festival and international sporting events.

Introducing

Angela Wilson

Angela knows the history and present-day life of Edinburgh well and is a ready and willing source of advice. Ask her almost anything from bus tickets and shopping to worthwhile places to visit. She and her late husband James taught at a local prep school for many years (History for James and Latin and Greek for Angela). They fell into doing B&B many years ago when a parent at school sent them some Portuguese guests as she’d double booked. Angela still very much enjoys introducing people to this unique city. She has three grandsons, so guests sometimes have to navigate their way around the odd toy or cricket bat as they make their way to the front door!
