About Carmichael
Carmichael occupies an Edwardian house on Ravelston Dykes, a quiet residential stretch of Edinburgh that still allows easy reach of the city centre. With only four rooms, it keeps the feel of a private house rather than a hotel, and its period character comes through in the warmth of the rooms rather than any grand scale.
Each room is en-suite, and guests can expect a comfortable temperature throughout, along with drinks provided in the room. Breakfast is included, and there's free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and childcare available for those travelling with children, with family rooms on offer too. Outside, there's a garden to sit in, free on-site parking, and an electric vehicle charge point.
The surrounding area suits an active stay, with cycling routes, golf, fishing and watersports all within reach, plus pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby for evenings out. It's a small, personal base with the practicalities well covered, from parking to charging points, right on the edge of the city.
What guests say
I stayed at Carmichael B&B and it honestly felt like such a warm, homey experience from start to finish. The moment I arrived, I was welcomed so kindly—it really felt more like visiting someone’s home than staying in a hotel. The house itself is beautiful and full of character, set in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that made it easy to relax after a day out. My room was super comfortable and cozy, with a really nice bed and everything kept spotless. I slept so well every night, which made a big difference during my trip. The whole place just had this calm, inviting atmosphere. Breakfast was definitely a highlight. Everything was freshly made and delicious, and it was such a nice way to start the day. The hosts were incredibly attentive and genuinely cared about making sure guests had a great stay, which really stood out. Overall, it felt like a perfect mix of comfort, charm, and genuine hospitality—I’d absolutely stay here again.

At first, I can hardly describe this trip—one of the biggest reasons it was so wonderful was staying at Carmichael House. The hosts took exceptional care of their guests, the cleanliness was excellent, and the service was very prompt. I’m very happy with this stay, and if I return, I would definitely choose the same house again.

A lovely home experience in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Princess Street. The hosts made us feel very welcome and breakfast was wonderful. The children loved the upper room and space.

Great location for the Fringe. The room was a small double with a separate bathroom but we knew this when booking and it met our expectations. The breakfast was lovely and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Would recommend.
