Lovely house!
We live in Edinburgh but had to book somewhere to stay while we were having work done at our house and Sycamore Cottage was perfect for four of us. The bedrooms are really spacious and the kitchen is really well equipped which isn’t always the case in self catering accommodation. We didn’t think we’d need to use the log burner but a typical Scottish spring meant we used it a few nights and there was plenty of logs left for it. Easy to drive into Edinburgh or can get the train from Gorebridge. Overall, a lovely cosy house!

Tranquil location
Check was easy, the place neat and clean. Living room has fire place where you burn wood - absolutely amazing experience. Near by field has chickens and other animals, choice of fresh eggs every morning. Plenty of parking spaces . So quite, the only sound you hear is burning of wood. Highly recommended

Lovely little cottage
We had a lovely stay. Ground were gorgeous and cottage was lovely. Would of been good to have a few more staples such as toilet paper and washing powder. Beds were quite hard. Was lovely to be able to cook and an easy train ride to Edinburgh.

Great place for Edinburgh visit

Quiet location, wonderful beds
Great location, with room to roam across the estate. Cosy cottage and brilliant beds. Complementary honey was a nice treat. Could use a little bit of updating (eg TV and some furniture), plus had to have a hoover on arrival.
