About

Mccrae'S Bed And Breakfast

Mccrae'S Bed And Breakfast sits on East Claremont Street in Edinburgh’s shopping district, a short stroll from Princes Street and the city centre. The house has only a few rooms, which keeps the experience personal — expect a warm welcome, high ceilings, and views over the garden from some rooms.

Breakfast is a highlight: fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with porridge and a full Scottish spread often mentioned. The rooms are allergy-friendly, carpeted, and equipped with tea and coffee facilities, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Guests also have access to a leisure/TV room and luggage storage.
