B+B Edinburgh

What B+B Edinburgh does

B+B Edinburgh is a privately operated boutique bed and breakfast located at 3 Rothesay Terrace in Edinburgh's West End, housed in a Late Victorian Georgian townhouse (built 1876, interiors redesigned by architect Sydney Mitchell in 1883) overlooking Dean Village and the Firth of Forth. The property offers 27 en-suite bedrooms across four configurations (King Superior, Double, Twin, and Cosy Double), three meeting and event spaces (The Library, The Findlay Room, and a third function room), a daily Full Scottish Breakfast service at £20 per person, a discounted parking arrangement with NCP Edinburgh Castle Terrace, and pet-friendly rooms. It is part of the B+B Collection brand and is managed by Inn-telligence Ltd, a hospitality management company based in Colnbrook, Berkshire. The core customer segments are leisure tourists (primary) and business travellers, pet owners, and event planners (secondary), reached through direct website booking via Guestline, phone reservations, and OTA channels, supported by content marketing through the property's blog, Facebook, Instagram, and TripAdvisor presence.

In early 2026 the property was acquired by the owners of The Bonham Hotel, a few doors along Drumsheugh Gardens, creating a sister-property relationship under the B+B Collection; B+B Edinburgh guests now have access to The Bonham's No.35 restaurant, bar, lounge, and afternoon tea service, and a sympathetic renovation of the property is planned for late 2026 and early 2027 to reposition it as a luxury boutique townhouse offering. The business runs on standard hospitality infrastructure (Guestline PMS/booking engine, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel) with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and operates as a direct-to-consumer accommodation provider without disclosed funding, public listing, or enterprise contracts.

• The Bonham Hotel: Sister property at Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh's West End, acquired by the same owners in early 2026. Operates as a boutique townhouse hotel with No.35 restaurant, and shares the same West End heritage positioning and customer base as B+B Edinburgh.
