We seek to provide a "home from home" for our guest house guests.
Lantern Guest House is located on quiet Windsor Street, very close to the busy hub of Edinburgh. Carlton Hill, located just the other side of London Road is well worth walking up.

There are plentiful restaurants and bars in the close vacinity including the famous Valvona & Crolla.
