Guests say
Quay Cottage receives high praise for its beautiful riverside location, spacious and well-equipped interiors, and tranquil atmosphere. Guests appreciate the easy access to Edinburgh and local walks, as well as the friendly neighbours and helpful host. The cottage is consistently described as clean and comfortable, with many thoughtful touches. Some guests mention minor issues such as a firm mattress, occasional heating quirks, and aircraft noise due to proximity to the airport, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.
Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the cottage as spotlessly clean, very clean, and well maintained. Only one review mentions the bedrooms feeling a bit tired, but overall, standards are consistently high.
The location is universally praised for its scenic views, peaceful setting, and convenient access to Edinburgh and local attractions. The only recurring negative is the proximity to the airport flight path, which some guests found noisy, but most adapted quickly.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable and spacious, with cosy interiors and good beds. A few mention the main mattress being too firm or lumpy for their preference, and some note minor issues with heating, but comfort is otherwise highly rated.
The cottage is described as very well equipped, with everything needed for a pleasant stay, including kitchen essentials and efficient heating. A couple of guests mention heating being erratic and a wish for a DVD player, but these are minor points.
Many guests comment on thoughtful touches, such as a well-stocked kitchen and helpful local information. While some mention gifts or extras, please note these are not guaranteed for every stay. The host's communication and neighbourly support are also appreciated.

Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. . Rear patio with bistro set. On road parking. No smoking.. You’d never believe this property was located on the outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. Cramond is one of those hidden secrets which offers a peaceful waterside setting on the banks of the Forth Estuary and is less than 5 miles from the hustle and bustle of the excitement and wonder of Scotland’s capital city.
This fabulous cottage oozes charm and has the most amazing harbour view to the rear. More importantly, it has been fitted and equipped with the guest experience at heart. The two bedrooms will sleep four people comfortably in a double and twin bedroom. The living room has a spacious feel, a living gas flame fireplace and comfy furniture making it the ideal place to retire after a day’s exploring the walks along the riverside or the city centre. The kitchen/dining room has everything needed to prepare and enjoy meals whatever the occasion and at the end of the day the dishwasher will take the strain out of the chores – no need to fight over who washes and who dries up. The shower room has been updated to high standards with a walk in shower and quality sanitaryware.
Within Cramond Village you’ll be pleased to find a pub just a 2 minute walk away, bistro at the bottom of the steps next to the cottage, there is also the local café a short walk along the shore front, passing some of the small yet quiet beaches which the kids (and probably the adults too) will love. The historic church is a stone throw away. Local shops and supermarkets, fast food restaurants and the post office are available 1 mile away in both Davidsons Mains and Barnton, and as we mentioned, Edinburgh city centre is easily reached by car, taxi or bus, whether it’s shopping, visiting attractions like the castle or simply enjoying the scenery, bars cafés and restaurants, the city has it all. Beach 100 yards.

Really lovely cottage. Very spacious, clean and good facilities. Lovely location. The only slight downside was the local pub not serving food and the bus not running directly to Edinburgh but that was just for the few days we stayed and should be no problem usually. I’d definitely recommend and we’d stay again. The accommodation is much bigger than the photo would suggest which was a pleasant surprise. Parking was easy too.

We had a wonderful few days in the cottage, which is in a beautiful location. It was peaceful, spacious, clean , well equipped and very comfortable. Great communication from the host and lots of local information, including the current change to bus services, which was very useful. We enjoyed some lovely walks , and found the excellent Cramond Inn just acros the road, which served great food. This was an excellent base from which to explore the wider area. We would love to stay here again.
