Excellent Edinburgh park and ride retreat with buses every 10 mins and trains every half hour to central Edinburgh.

Edinburgh speaks for itself but note that this Dalkeith vacation rental is 5 kilometres from Roslin Chapel., 1km from the Butterfly farm and Dobbies ..& 800 metres from Dalkeith Palace.

Wonderful!
Irene's place was perfect for my Aunt and I. We enjoy the comforts of a home when we travel and that's exactly what we got at Irene's. Plus the bus was just outside the door making the trips into Edinburgh so easy. The walk to downtown Dalkeith and restaurants was less than 10 minutes. The hosts were very helpful in directing us into their place with the unintended late arrival and in arranging a taxi for our trip to the airport. I only regret that I didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful garden. If you want all the amenities, plenty of space, easy access, parking, beautiful surroundings all at a great value this is the place to stay.

Lovely home in a great location
Wanted a few days to relax prior to a 10 day tour of Scotland. The Holiday house was perfect for two couples. Fantastic communication with owners and comfortable home. Well appointed notched and near bus stops. East bus access to Roslyn chapel as well as many other places to vist. We liked that we could feel safe walking to the stores and restaurants. We were sad when we had to leave

Scotland trip
We had so much fun in Scotland. Our host lived on the property and so was there to answer questions, let us in and was there if we had any questions. We met our hosts several times out in the garden as we were unwinding from our day. The site was very close to the train station, there were several stores to get groceries and we were very close to Roslin Chapel. We also drove to Stirling one day. Our rooms were comfortable and we each had our own shower. Plenty of room for the three in our party. Thank you so much for all your help. Our hosts were good communicators and they even called me before we left to speak with us about our trip. You can trust this one with your stay.

Nice clean property close to Edinburgh
Had a great stay at Eskbank - very clean property that has an amazing kitchen for cooking. The property is very close to the town of Dalkeith, which has great food options and many great places to walk a dog. The house is within steps of a bus stop that will take you into the city center relatively quickly. The hosts were wonderful at offering ideas on places to sight see. Highly recommended if you want to stay a bit outside of the city.

A Place to Call Our Scottish Home Away from Our Canadian Home
My husband and I, along with my elderly Scottish mother were fortunate to be guests at the self catering 2 bedroom annexe unit at the Rathan Guesthouse during our three month visit to Scotland, spanning over Christmas and New Year. This beautiful, charming home was a prime location for us, within close proximity to our family and friends. Together with the hospitable and friendly hosts, Ewan & Irene, the Rathan House and property offers a great central location, secure parking, gated access to the annexed unit, a beautifully landscaped back garden, with clotheslines, and Flora, their friendly family dog. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, & cookware. The location is also excellent for easy access to parks, buses, shopping, restaurants and pubs, all within walking distance. Everything one could ask for, especially for an extended stay. Our hosts, Ewan and Irene were most welcoming to us upon arrival, providing a full tour of the property inside and out, and expectations needed for a 3 month stay. Both our hosts were so friendly and accommodating to us throughout our stay. My son and his partner made an unplanned visit from Canada during our stay, and they were wonderfully accommodated with a room in the B&B Guesthouse. Ewan is very knowledgeable about the area, and gave us recommendations on nearby places of interest to visit. He kept us entertained with his many historical facts and adventure stories. Irene checked in with us regularly to ensure we were comfortable, warm and had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and meeting our gracious hosts. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Ewan and Irene, we are pleased to have met you both and we appreciate you hosting us in your beautiful home.
