Who It Suits

Families get the most from Arrandale Guest House: the Large Family Room and Comfort Triple Room both have private bathrooms, and family rooms are listed among the facilities. Solo travellers can take the Single Room with Bathroom, and drivers benefit from free private parking. Walkers will like being 1.1 mi from Arthur's Seat. It suits less well anyone bringing a pet, since pets are not allowed, or anyone wanting a bed right beside Waverley station, given the walk is around 40 minutes.
