Alba House is a family run Victorian villa situated only minutes from Edinburgh's city centre. We offer excellent accommodation with ample car parking facilities. Comfortable, spacious, individually designed rooms provide a restful stay.

Alba House is a beautiful, detached Victorian villa built around 1860 and set in large, landscaped gardens with many mature trees and ample seating areas.
