Spotlessly clean when we arrived. Lots of room for clothes etc. and for storing suitcases. Great having the use of a dishwasher and washer for the week. Beautiful quiet location, can highly recommend this place. Great for me being disabled with the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.

Excellent Stay

It was amazing, only that we had to move on we would have stay there longer. Only 10mins to the shops and to the motorway. Peace and quiet. Would recommend it to everyone.

Easy to get to. Lovely peaceful surroundings in the country. Accommodation was very good and comfortable. Only one suggestion for improvement: include water glasses in the kitchen.Wi-Fi is currently patchy, but we were advised of this by the owner when we arrived. This was beyond the owner's control. It did not spoil our holiday or enjoyment for our stay.

The cottage was central for everywhere we wanted to go and was near to the train station for easy access into Edinburgh. Having 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is very unusual and it made life so much easier for everyone.
