The Dalmore Lodge Guest House was great. We received a really friendly welcome from Iain, the room was very well appointed and comfortable with a private bathroom, breakfast was well made with a reasonable range of options and good coffee.
What really impressed me was the size and quality of the room - everything was very tasteful and we even had a small balcony which we sat out on on the Saturday evening (as long as the weather permitted!)
It is close to an excellent Chinese restaurant (Cool Jade - go, seriously) and is directly opposite Edinburgh Zoo, however if I was to make one observation it's that there didn't seem to be much else in the immediate vicinity by way of diversion or restaurants.
However as we were largely there on business it was a great base to access the city centre, and I'd have absolutely no hesitation staying there again. Iain very kindly allowed us to use their car park while we went to the zoo after we checked out, and this is one example of the great customer service that was the hallmark of our stay.
