Bring your dog if
- You want a whole-property rental - no shared lobbies or corridors to navigate with your dog
- You're basing yourself in Edinburgh / the Scotland and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
- The wider guest experience is strong - Agoda guests rate this 9.0/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published - confirm directly with the property before booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from Agoda - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 8 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.0/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
East Claremont Guest House is one of the warmer dog-friendly B&Bs in Edinburgh's New Town - the hosts are explicitly accommodating, breakfast is generous (cooked and continental options), and the dog welcome is real rather than tolerated. One pet-traveller reviewer called the breakfast 'amazing' and the welcome 'above and beyond' while specifically noting the dog-friendly setup. The single confirmed pet-stay carries a perfect 10/10 score, which earns this guesthouse a strong paw-rating slot.
The location at 2 East Claremont Street puts the guesthouse in central New Town - within walking distance of Princes Street, the Royal Mile, and Calton Hill, while sitting in a quiet residential stretch away from the worst of the evening footfall. Dogs benefit from the walkable city access without the noise of a Cowgate-adjacent stay.
The guesthouse is small (only 8 Agoda reviews to date) which means a couple of caveats: less aggregate review signal to calibrate against, and a more personal hospitality style where the experience hinges on the small team rather than a polished hotel-chain operation. For dog families who prefer that intimate B&B feel - personal welcome, host who knows your name by check-out - this is a strong match.
Where it suits
An excellent fit for couples or solo travellers with one dog who want a proper B&B-style welcome in central Edinburgh rather than a hotel or self-catering. The breakfast quality is the standout per guest feedback. Best for guests who plan most daytime activities walking from the front door rather than relying on a car. The thin overall review count means it's a slightly more uncertain booking than a 100-review property, but the explicit dog-welcome signal is unambiguous.
