Violet Bank House guests tell us that we are great hosts, they quickly feel relaxed and at home, and that our attention to detail is outstanding. It is the difference, which makes the difference in staying with us.Our South facing cottage garden has seating areas, where you can listen to the birds, or watch the heron fly past to settle on the river.

We have a “green” approach to our business, without compromising high quality.

Violet Bank House were finalist for the Friendliest Landlady Award from the Automobile Association 2007-8. We were filmed in August 08 by a Swedish TV crew, SVT2 as being one of Scotland’s best little places to stay, with truly outstanding breakfasts. “a little secret gem with personal hotel services; booking restaurants, coach tours. Golf tee-off times, taxis, etc.”

We are 20 minutes from the very centre of Edinburgh, yet our house is on the edge of the Pentland national park, overlooking the Water of Leith and the beautiful foothills of the Pentland Hills. Bus to the city centre every ten minutes.
