Balmore House
34, Gilmore Place, Edinburgh EH3 9NQ

Set in a traditional part of Edinburgh, with many fine examples of Victorian architecture surrounding the area, this small family-run guest house occupies a great position to reach the city’s main attractions.

Set in the Tollcross area of the city, the house is within easy reach of Edinburgh’s main attractions, including the castle, theatres and fantastic shopping. Also, behind the house you can find Union Canal, which boasts beautiful walks and waterside restaurants.

A late Victorian house, fully refurbished to provide all modern comforts, Balmore has maintained many of its original period features, including a wrought iron staircase, chandeliers and ornate cornices.

Rooms : 14.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served in the lovely conservatory. Bright and welcoming, even on the dullest days, here you can enjoy a good selection of cooked breakfasts. Toast and cereals are also available.

Area information

The Tollcross area provides all amenities you may require, including cinemas (independent and main stream), more than one theatre, leisure centres and ten-pin bowling. You can also enjoy the vast park area nearby, The Meadows, which is a great place to relax, play tennis or, occasionally, visit the local festivals.

The house is on a good bus route for further afield attractions such as Roslyn Chapel, Portobello Beach, Cramond and its island, and also the Britannia and The Botanic gardens.

The area is particularly great for eating out, so at the end of a long day sight seeing, it's good to know you will have a vast choice of places to eat at all different prices to suit your budget.
