About Straven Guesthouse Edinburgh

Straven Guest house Edinburgh is our historic Victorian home, situated only 50 yards from a beautiful sandy beach in the leafy suburb of Joppa, Portobello. 

It is so peaceful it is difficult to believe you are only a 25 minute bus journey to the centre of Scotland’s capital.  Explore the rich heritage of Edinburgh by day –  relax in the evening with a quiet stroll along the beachfront  promenade. Enjoy a comfortable and peaceful night’s rest and wake up to a hearty breakfast in this small B&B. ​

We are proud to have attained high standards for Quality and service at Straven Guest House Edinburgh with Visit Scotland, achieving 4* status in the Guest Houses Edinburgh category.

Our interest in environmental matters has led us to join The Green Tourism Business Scheme  and we have been awarded the gold standard. We are committed to environmental management of our resources through re-cycling, energy and water conservation, restriction of waste and noxious matters, screening of all our suppliers and trades to the Bed and Breakfast.

For those with electric cars there are 7 charge points within 2km of Straven so you need not fear losing power. See these on a map here. You can choose electric car hire at many of the companies now check out the links page.

I am afraid we do not have space for bikes or motorbikes off-street. We used to have off road space, but this has been re-purposed – Sorry!!
