B&B close to Arthur's Seat & Holyrood Park

Pros: Great location. Close to park and not far from central Edinburgh. Three bed room was great for my family.
Cons: Can't think of anything to improve
Location: Holyrood park has best view of the city and it is minutes away. The Palace is across the street from the park
The Thistle House is a 10 minute bus ride to the Royal Mile. Very helpful staff. Filling breakfast. Rooms kept clean.
