In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- There are only two to choose from: Park Suite is the biggest, with ornate Victorian cornicing and a dark brown love seat separated from the room by an arched wall. Garden Suite is cosier, with views out onto, predictably, the garden. Both have ensuite bathrooms with under-floor heating and silver sinks shipped over from Thailand. Beds are king-sized, with ultra-luxurious hand-stitched Hypnos mattresses, crisp white linens and chocolate brown/shimmery champagne cushions.
- Packing tips
- Any DVDs you’ve been meaning to watch but haven’t got round to – these bedrooms are just beckoning to be lived and lounged in; Clan Clelland tartan to really feel part of the family.
- Also
- If you want to a) stay on Pilrig Street and b) have a bath, this is the only place you can do it.
Current offers

- Miniature home-like hideaway
- Setting
- Parkside Pilrig Street
Millers64 is a matchbox marvel of a B&B with two rooms and three hosts, so you’re sure to be treated with more affection and attention than a long-lost clan member. This boutique Edinburgh guesthouse is a cosy mix of open and airy bright-white interiors, original Victorian features and oriental minimalism inspired by the owners’ childhoods in Asia – but the much-lauded breakfasts are as Scottish as they come.
