About Aaron Glen Guest House

Nivensknowe Road in Loanhead sits within easy reach of Edinburgh, with the wider Midlothian countryside close by and Edinburgh Zoo a notable point of interest for anyone based here. Aaron Glen Guest House makes the most of this setting, offering a quiet base outside the city with free on-site parking for those arriving by car.

Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and the option of family accommodation, along with drinks available in room. A full Scottish breakfast is served each morning, and the on-site bar gives guests somewhere to unwind in the evening, with outdoor seating available too. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception round out the practical side of a stay, and pets are welcome.

Golf, fishing, pubs and restaurants are all nearby, making it easy to fill the day beyond the guest house itself. It is a no-frills B&B rather than a destination in its own right, but for straightforward, well-equipped accommodation near Edinburgh, it does the job.

What guests say

Inez Campbell

This place is wonderful. I truly felt at home and very well taken care of throughout my stay. I usually prefer staying in Airbnbs rather than hotels, and I can honestly say this is the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in. I am quite demanding when it comes to cleanliness and I highly value a good rest, and this place exceeded all my expectations. The attention to detail, the spotless cleanliness, the extremely comfortable bed, and the peaceful atmosphere that allows you to relax after a long day were simply exceptional. We didn’t have to ask the host for anything because she had already anticipated everything we might possibly need, and even more. Although it is a bit outside the city center, there is public transportation very close by, making it very easy to get around. I recommend this place 200%. Xenia S.

I stayed at one of the serviced apartments, Kinloch (ground floor) as a temporary home while insurance work was being carried out in my flat. As someone living with chronic illness and mobility limitations, accessibility was a key factor in choosing this property. It was a very positive and supportive stay. The flat is spacious, with 2 en-suite bedrooms and parking directly outside the front door. The ramp at the entrance makes entry particularly accessible for wheelchair users or anyone using a wheeled aid. I requested a disabled parking sign to ensure the space remained available, and the owners kindly put up a temporary one. The owners were friendly, responsive and accommodating throughout, including moving one of the single beds into the living room so I could have a separate rest space, which made a real difference to managing my energy. For accessibility reference: the internal doors are quite heavy, which may affect independent movement for some guests, although the accessible bedroom bathroom door is light. Overall, I felt well supported during my stay and appreciated the thoughtful communication and flexibility from the hosts.

My stay at Aaron Glen Apartments was excellent from start to finish. The apartment was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully furnished, creating a comfortable home-away-from-home feeling the moment I arrived. Everything was well maintained, and the attention to detail—fresh linens, quality toiletries, and a fully equipped kitchen—made the stay even more enjoyable. The location is convenient and peaceful, offering easy access to local transport while still feeling quiet and private. Parking was straightforward, and the area felt safe and well looked after. One of the highlights was the warm, welcoming hospitality. The hosts were incredibly helpful, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure guests had a great experience. Check-in was smooth, and they were more than happy to offer recommendations for local dining, attractions, and travel routes. Overall, Aaron Glen Apartments is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and excellent service. I’d happily stay again and highly recommend it to both short-term visitors and longer-term guests.

Absolutely fantastic place to stay, located near multiple different shops and only 15 to 20 minutes into the centre of Edinburgh. Little Park down the road for the children, and the apartments are absolutely spectacular, loads of space, spotlessly clean, plenty of parking and supported by fantastic owners. Genuinely, my only complaint is that they didn’t have the availability to let me stay another night 😇 I could quite happily live here!!
