Absolutely lovely cottage, even more space than expected and with lots of thoughtful touches to add to our stay. We had a car and found it quick and easy to drive to the park-n-ride to catch the train, or to drive directly into the city. The area around the cottage is beautiful and very nice for a short walk. Thank you for the warm welcome, and we will 100% book this cottage again for future trips!

A gorgeous old cottage fitted out with everything you need including a washing machine. Good to stay out of the city of Edinburgh but close enough to commute by train if you have a car and use the free park and ride.

Lovely hideaway in Midlothian

We had a great time in this little cottage, which was close to both nature and the City. We appreciated the on-site laundry. The owners were helpful and check-in was a breeze. We will hopefully be booking again the next time we’re in Scotland.

Fabulous Cottage for our stay!

My family and I had a lovely time at the cottage. It was easy to find and sits in a beautiful setting. It was peaceful and cosy and charming. It's easy reach to Edinburgh also. I did a gorgeous local walk along the river and beyond. We felt very relaxed and at home and wished we could have stayed longer!

The cottage is so well setup for a comfortable stay, especially for a couple. Carina & Victor have done a lovely job with the furnishings and stylish decor. The bed is comfortabe and the kitchen downstairs has everything you need to self cater. We enjoyed catching the train to Edinburgh from Esbank station, which is a short drive with free parking. Highly recommend.
