Millers64
Style Miniature home-like hideaway
Setting Parkside Pilrig Street
Millers64 is a matchbox marvel of a B&B with three rooms and as many 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.

Our favourite rooms
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. We love the Sky Suite's skylight, through which you can see the stars from your bath tub. Each room has an ensuite bathroom 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.

If you want to a) stay on Pilrig Street and b) have a bath, this is the only place you can do it.
