Wonderful accommodation! Very spacious and clean. Spectacular property with beautiful space to walk around! Very quiet and close to a train station, we parked and took a train into Edinburgh. The property has everything you need for a longer stay, we stayed for 3 nights but would have loved to have been able to stay longer!

A great find

A wonderful find, perfect location for us. Cottage was quiet and peaceful. Warm and cozy once we got our heads around the heating system. Our plans had to change and Henrietta was most helpful in adding a couple of extra days. Will definitely be staying here again.

A most wonderful stay

We stayed here for 5 nights . From booking to the actual stay- communication was fab. Lights were even kindly left on for us due to a late arrival so that we didn’t stumble in the dark. A cosy pretty cottage on a beautiful estate. A super easy train ride into Edinburgh. Absolutely would stay again- 5 star from us !

Country cottage close to Edinburgh

A lovely cottage, in the countryside and yet so close to Edinburgh. The cottage had everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay.

Nice little spot

We four (three adults, one child) enjoyed our four night stay at Lime Cottage. Convenient for what we had in mind re visiting relatives in the area. Also convenient train service to Edinburgh. The estate grounds are lovely (mid-Sept). Gentle if manicured walks and pleasing views of.the Pentland Hills.

Cosy week away

From start to finish our stay at Lime Cottage was excellent. The accommodation was clean and cosy and, particularly important to us, the kitchen was well equipped for the cooking we planned to do during our stay. Our terrier, Gilbert, especially loved his early morning walks on the estate. Arniston is very close to a railway station, so access to Edinburgh was simple. During our visit we explored the Fife coastline, North Berwick beaches, Edinburgh and Rosslyn Chapel. Communication preceding and during our stay was prompt and helpful, for which we were grateful.

Lovely traditional cottage in a lovely location

This is the second time we have stayed in the cottages. It’s in a lovely location and is very convenient for us visiting family in the area. The cottages have many traditional features which are lovely albeit some are looking a little bit tired, however, excellent value for money.

Beautiful Cottage

A beautiful cottage and setting, every effort had been made to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The log burner with plenty of fire wood made for cosey evenings. Ideal for trips into Edinburgh.

Autumn Stay

Lovely stay at Lime cottage for a week with our two dogs. Well furnished though took a while to warm up. Could do with a few more lights outside especially when needing to take the dogs out when it is dark. We would easily stay again.

Highly recommend

The cottage is lovely and has all the amenities that you need. Great that the cottages are dog friendly so that the beautiful countryside can be explored with our dogs too. Any questions are addressed immediately and I would highly recommend staying at Lime Cottage
