Edinburgh Trip
This was a great place to stay for our group of 6 adults. The home was spacious and the 4 bedrooms and 3 baths made it very comfortable. We used both Uber and Taxis to and from the Castle/Royal Mile and the airport. Our only complaint was no toilet paper in one bathroom and no extra we could take from another bathroom. Luckily there was a convenient store that was a 10-15 minute walk away. It was walkable to Scotland’s oldest pub, the Sheeps Heid Inn which had great food and atmosphere. Great option for groups!

Family Holiday
Great location once we found the house. Address listed for house was confusing. We could not get to house on Old Church Road address given but off main road. The GPS shows house on back street not the actual street address. Other issue was the dryer did not work. Minor problem but we still enjoyed our stay at property very much!

Great location, beautiful home
The house was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. Lots of room for a large group or family. Loved how close it was to the Sheep Heid Inn and lots of attractions.

Perfect fit for our family.
We loved the location - at the base of Arthur's seat and easy access to downtown Edinburgh. Reasonably priced. It's a handsome property that provided ample community space, privacy, hot showers with good water pressure, and laundry facilities. Private and secure parking. Our only issue was that the security system alarm kept going off to the point of real distraction. Although the property managers tried to help via phone, the problem was never resolved during our 6 night stay. They stopped responding to us, so we had to disarm it every morning and night ourselves. We had hoped that someone would come in person to resolve the issue. Also, there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom for six people for our entire stay. Despite these two problems, we would definitely stay there again.

Access issues
Ideal property for our family stay. However, we were disappointed by the standard of cleaning : cobwebs, dust balls, dirty kitchen equipment, black mould on grouting in showers and drain. The ironing board did not lock in, chipped plates in kitchen, no pillow cases on some of the pillows and alarmingly, the bathroom switch in bedroom one did not work, resulting in my sister and brother-in-law using this facility with the door open! Please make the instructions for entry to the house more detailed…we sat outside for an hour on arrival, waiting for the host to come and let us in. Apart from the above, we enjoyed our stay, which was to celebrate a family wedding.

Beautiful House, close proximity to beach
The property is beautiful and we have loved staying here. In terms of the cleanliness when we came in, I would give a 3. The kitchen, front room and bedrooms appeared clean on arrival. The bath and bath handles were grimy and dirty. We had a massage therapist come in and moved the bed in the main bedroom slightly to the right and the dust under the bed was bad. My mum had to apologise to the therapist and felt embarrassed. The ironing board does not work, it will not stand up. The automatic gates worked intermittently which meant only 1 was closed for periods of time. There was only 1 hand towel supplied. The main door handle appears to be low on battery and talks loudly every time the handle is used. Your heavy curtains in the main room have a loose hook in the wall for the tie back. And the blinds in that room do not open as the chain is broken and on the window ledge. None of the things that need fixing hindered our experience at all and as mentioned, we enjoyed it. We will recommend and would like to return.

Lovely environment, hard to believe you're so close to the city centre
The property is hidden away at the corner of Duddingston Old Village which, for those like us who've never encountered it before, is small but utterly enchanting. Gothic Baronial turrets are right next to the Georgian fanlights which are right next to the manse, the loch and the swans. They have the Oldest Pub in Scotland, the community orchard, that sort of thing. It's beautiful and interesting. On the other side of the garden fence we found Doctor Neil's Garden, one of 'Scotland's Hidden Gems'. The property itself is relatively anonymous although highly secure but the location is absolutely breathtaking!

Lovely Place
Property was spacious would suit 2 families easy. Property was gated so felt secure if you had younger children. Bedrooms nice and spacious with 3 bathrooms made getting ready much easier. Kitchen has all you would need to cook a meal. Area very nice with easy access to Edinburgh. Sheep’s Heid just round the corner would recommend we had a lovely meal. Would recommend this place to family and friends
