We loved staying at this cosy cottage! Super clean and welcoming, Shona was extremely helpful to us as well. Highly recommend for somewhere just out of the city. Easy access into town with regular busses.

As cosy cottage which is a lot bigger than it looks. Location is brilliant as its just down the road from park and ride into Edinburgh and located well for access to other surrounding areas.

Shona was very welcoming we had a wonderful time the 3 days we were there! We went to Edinburgh castle the camera obscura and five sisters zoo with the kids. It was just a short train drive away from the cottage. Beautiful setting of the farm and nice and peaceful will definitely visit again soon. Thanks Shona

We all loved the cottage. Location was great, accommodation was first class. Large enclosed garden was fantastic for the kids to play in when at the cottage. Plenty of places within easy driving distance to visit. Finally I have to mention Shona Galloway, the owner. Excellent communication and very informative in our visit. Thank you so much.

Lovely cottage in the Scottish countryside but close to Edinburgh for days out etc. Shona is welcoming and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed and the cottage is a home away from home.
