Welcome to Dunedin Guest House Visit Scottish Tourist Board

About Dunedin

The Dunedin Guest House is a semi-detached Victorian Villa located on a large sunny corner with gardens and a lovely view of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags. Built as a family home in 1882, the three-story house was divided into two homes in the 1950's and returned to a single dwelling around late 1980s. Sympathetically converted into the present accommodations, the house is a listed building and therefore retains such original features as a magnificently lit cupola that dominates the central staircase and gives the house an airy spaciousness. Other original features are the mosaic-tiled entrance and vestibule, ornate cornicing and a spectacular plasterwork thistle ceiling in the breakfast room. Original woodwork prevails throughout the guestrooms, as well, with massive Canadian pine doors, panelling and dados.

 

Dunedin Guest House
Dining Room

The Dunedin Guest House has seven bedrooms, all with private facilities, and can accommodate a maximum of 18 guests comfortably. When we acquired the house in 1999, a programme of refurbishment began, resulting in its present rating from the Scottish Tourist Board as a Four Star Guest House. Each guestroom is individually decorated to a high standard. Toiletries, radio alarm clocks, colour television, hairdryers, tea and coffee-making facilities, big fluffy towels, washcloths, individual temperature control and other comforts are at each guest's disposal.

A welcoming fire in the grate greets you as you arrive in the spacious and well-appointed breakfast room each morning. Our a la carte breakfast menu, included in the room tariff, is extensive and includes many Scottish delicacies such as porridge, haggis and potato scones, as well as a traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast, all cooked fresh to order. We also offer options to satisfy those with a vegetarian diet. Given advance notice we are happy to cater to other special dietary requirements.
