About the Place

Located at the foot of the royal Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, the Pollock Estate campus offers bed and breakfast accommodation during the University of Edinburgh's summer vacation. Each room on the campus features a free Wi-Fi, and shared laundry and pantry facilities. Some rooms also offer a TV and a safety deposit box. Linen and towels are provided in all the rooms. Pollock Estate is just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and the historic Old Town, where guests can find the Royal Mile, the hub for many of Edinburgh’s festivals. In the mornings, an extensive breakfast is offered in the self-service restaurant at John McIntyre Conference Centre. This is just 5 minutes’ walk from the rooms. Further local amenities include a general shop and a dedicated 24-hour reception centre. Please be aware up until the 15th August, due to work to the roof of the building, there may be scaffolding on the external walls of the single standard shared bathroom accommodation. Contractors will be onsite between the hours of 9am – 6pm which may result in noise at times. We apologise for any disturbance this may cause. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries

I stayed at the University during the Edinburgh festival , when the town’s accomodation is very tight as the population almost doubles . The rooms was small with a single bed, and shared toilet and shower facilities opening off the corridor. The location has easy access to public transport, but I also walked to quite a few show locations. Accomodation costs ...Read more

I had a very comfortable stay. I had a room with shared bathroom which I wasn’t overly keen on the idea of to begin with but it was not an issue at all. There were 4 toilet options with 2 showers in my area on the 5th floor so I never had to wait. The bed was comfy and the room had a nice view overlooking the Scottish scenery. The reception staff were very h...Read more

Agency partner selected by misterb&b

As we cater to the global LGBTQ+ community, we are focused on creating a more welcoming world for all. In addition to our LGBTQ+ hosts and to help ensure a superior level of hospitality, we have selected agency partners to offer more listings in cities around the world. Each partner has agreed to sign a non discrimination policy, in particular on the basis of sexual orientation.

Why add these listings?
We believe they are a good alternative in locations where we have less hosts/no host. They also address the needs of LGBTQ+ travelers who may occasionally be more interested in such listings rather than in the experience at a 100% gay resort or with a misterb&b host. At this point though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.

When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
