An excellent property to rent outside of Edinburgh. Perfect for dogs and families. The cottage was warm and well lit when we arrived and the fireplace was already prepped with a basket full of logs. The manager of the property was very friendly and she came over to introduce herself and check we had everything we needed. Strongly recommend and will be going back.

Tranquil location
Check was easy, the place neat and clean. Living room has fire place where you burn wood - absolutely amazing experience. Near by field has chickens and other animals, choice of fresh eggs every morning. Plenty of parking spaces . So quite, the only sound you hear is burning of wood.
Highly recommended

Lovely little cottage
We had a lovely stay. Ground were gorgeous and cottage was lovely. Would of been good to have a few more staples such as toilet paper and washing powder. Beds were quite hard. Was lovely to be able to cook and an easy train ride to Edinburgh.

Great place for Edinburgh visit
Lovely location only a short way outside of Edinburgh. Great setting with views and countryside all around. Communication from Henrietta prior to our stay was perfect. Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back.

Quiet location, wonderful beds
Great location, with room to roam across the estate. Cosy cottage and brilliant beds. Complementary honey was a nice treat. Could use a little bit of updating (eg TV and some furniture), plus had to have a hoover on arrival.
