Had a lovely 5 night stay in July; a nice quiet property easily accessible by road yet surrounded by farmland and wildlife. Clean and well presented, we were impressed by the decorations and the little touches that make it feel so homely and welcoming. Our only regret was that we were booked to go out all day and didn't get to spend much time in the cottage itself! Definitely considering coming back sometime and would recommend.

La casa es muy agradable y está bien decorada. Tiene todo lo necesario para pasar unos días cerca de Edimburgo y visitar otras zonas de Escocia. Se requiere coche para moverse en busca de restaurantes y actividades pero si buscas paz y contacto con la naturaleza es una zona ideal

The cottage has a nice view overlooking the farm, sunrise was beautiful. Susan was very responsive and flexible to our check in timing because we were running late.
