Guests from all over the world have happy memories of staying with Hélène and Erlend Clouston when they were in Heriot Row. Now at their new home, the ground floor of 2 Cambridge Street, Hélène (teacher) and Erlend (journalist) have created two self-contained guest suites and are continuing to welcome visitors to Edinburgh for bed and breakfast.
The Usher Concert Hall, Royal Lyceum Theatre and Traverse Theatre are within 50 paces, Princes Street is a couple of hundred yards away and Edinburgh Castle looms above the end of the street - surely this is one of the most central and convenient bed and breakfasts you can find in Edinburgh.
