We absolutely loved and enjoyed the peace away from the city. We loved the lambs and their mammas! It is a great great place to stay. We were there 5 nights and was perfect.

Family vacation

We loved staying at Mauldslie Cottage while visiting the Edinburgh area. It was cozy & inviting. While it was a bit outside of Edinburgh, the train was very convenient to get into and home from the city, and we also enjoyed seeing the countryside.

Amazing cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mauldslie cottage, it was perfect for our family. The cottage was outstanding, views were great & we loved being so near a farm with sheep & deer. My nephew loved the play room & the toys & games too! Great kitchen and very comfortable living space. Highly recommended!!!

Very cute, but very secluded

The property is very cute! It is more secluded than I realized it would be (which is on me for not doing my research). The road to get to the house is a little rough in some areas, especially if you’re in a smaller sedan. The shower also did not drain well. But overall great views and very quiet if you’re looking for something relaxing!

Lovely place and cottage

We spent three nights at Mauldslie Farm. The original old cottage has been lovingly restored and furnished. The area is wonderfully quiet and secluded with lots of wildlife all around. We liked it very much and didn't want for anything. Edinburgh is easy to reach by train from Gorebridge. Traveling by car is recommended.

Family trip

If you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries this is the lace to go. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Henrietta provided all the information we needed. We would definitely go back again, we were sad to leave and could have happily stayed for a few more days

Chouette adresse près d'Edimbourg

Cottage au calme, situé en plein campagne et à 45 minutes du centre d'Edimbourg. Très bien équipé. Très sympa de prendre le petit-déjeuner avec des cerfs :) Hébergement à recommander !!!
