Both check in and check out process was seamless. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! Information about the property was clear and extensive. The owners were also incredibly kind and helpful when we faced issues with the internet connection. We hope to return if we are ever back in the area.

These cottages are special. It is a peaceful and safe area and so quiet! I would absolutely rent here again. It is close to Edinburgh, Stirling, even Glasgow. Please don’t be swayed thinking it’s too far from things. The privacy is worth it. Grounds are also beautiful to walk on. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful location, fantastic cottage

We stayed here for my wifes birthday, we did a trip to edinburgh, and it was an easy 30 minute drive in to town (princes street parking is the most reasonably priced if you are doing the same) great showers at the end of long days. Henrietta was very helpful and everything went extremely smoothly. 100% will stay here again on our next trip

Beautiful countryside cottage

Comfortable cottage with roaring wood stove. We were surprised by a morning of snow which added to the beauty. Kim, our host was the best, helping us when needed, even suppling candles at last minute when a predicted windstorm threatened power outage which luckily never came.

Wonderful Retreat

Lovely old stone cottage with everything you need to be comfortable away from home. Clear instructions, cozy living space and Henrietta is absolutely delightful and very responsive. The estate is beautiful to walk on, very peaceful, rural setting, but super easy to get into Edinburgh on the train. Delicious local restaurants.

Edinburgh vacay

Henrietta was a fabulous host! Very convenient location. Little downtown village 1-2 miles away was excellent to grab coffee or full breakfast before heading to royal mile or coffee take away for the road. Property was gorgeous. Accommodations were clean and homey, had everything we needed. Little hot water glitch was resolved immediately upon notifying Henrietta. She was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Would definitely stay again in the future.

short break

had a great few days in a fantastic accommodation, though a little remote on rainy days for places to go...maybe we were out of season. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it thoroughly. One minor point, the accommodation would benefit from a security light, when returning from a night out. Only a small walk from the car, but so much easier had it been lit.
