"Nice sized room and bath, all in good condition. Bed was firm. Restaurant food was good- a convenient option, but there's better values within walking distance. Only complaint is that the coffee is horrible. However, we'd stay here again."
"The dinner in the dungeon was a waste of money and time. Was a tasting and it was terrible and overpriced. Stick to there other restaurant and understand this was eich people mess?"

Cosy cottage located 25 minutes from Edinburgh City Centre
10/10 Excellent
"A gorgeous old cottage fitted out with everything you need including a washing machine. Good to stay out of the city of Edinburgh but close enough to commute by train if you have a car and use the free park and ride."
