Immaculate, home from home, spacious property in great location for the city. Bus stop around the corner and local pubs and takeaways close by. The best property we have stayed in!
Spent a week visiting Edinburgh and surrounding area. Lovely accommodation ideally situated away from city centre but with easy access to bus links. Great to leave the car while visiting city centre. Hosts were lovely and accommodation was first rate, quiet location, spotless, and very well equipped, highly recommended.
A very clean, comfortable and well-appointed apartment in a quiet location, but also well placed to easily be able to get a bus into the centre of Edinburgh.
The Annexe was perfect. Everything we could have asked for and more. Fiona and Alastair are lovely hosts and the space is very comfortable and suitable for longer stays. We wish we could have stayed longer than our 3 nights.
It was so nice to finish up a day of sightseeing and be able to return to the Annexe with all its amenities. Everything was super clean and the welcome basket got us through several days without needing to buy breakfast. Wonderful place to stay!
Absolutely fantastic. Everything you need in a beautiful annexe. Plenty of room. Hosts very welcoming. Wonderful welcome basket. Can’t rate this highly enough. We will definitely be returning.
Just spent 4 wonderful nights at this lovely annexe over New Year’s Eve period. Fiona is an excellent host and explained everything thoroughly about the property and the local area. The property is furnished to a very high standard and so comfortable you will love it. The pictures don’t do it justice Fiona also leaves a wonderful welcome basket with essentials in so if you arrive late you have no problems. It feels very safe down a private road and has on site parking within the owners land even better. Bus stop just across the main road makes it easy to travel into the city in about 15 minutes making it a perfect location. Thank you Fiona for making us welcome we will hopefully return. David & Maria.
My partner and I loved our stay here. The hosts were extremely nice and attentive if we needed anything or had questions. They left us a nice welcome basket with milk, biscuits and other things that were useful and delicious! We cannot wait to come back here again
Lovely quiet area. Very nice, spacious apartment. Easy to get around by public transport (bus).Fiona the host allowed us in 3 hours earlier than usual.
A warm welcome from our host with milk, bread, biscuits and even cereal. Very welcome after our 6 hour journey. We felt part of the household without being intruded upon. Fiona has exactly the right balance for hosting. Three different buses to take you to different parts of the city within 15-20 minutes no wonder this oasis books up so quickly!
A beautiful annex, so clean and warm
Charming hosts who left us a lovely welcome basket and a special touch of fresh flowers.
Good local bus service, pubs and take away.
Great location, exceptional property, and lovely hosts. We could not have been more pleased with the Annexe. I impressed with how well thought out the apartment was and with so many nice touches. We hope to be able to return.
Wonderful well appointed property!! Close to bus line and local restaurants within walking distance. Truly enjoyed our stay! Fiona and Al were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. They even helped with suggestions of what to see during our visit. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay again.
We were delighted with the stay. The place is very beautiful and clean. The owners had the detail of leaving us groceries to welcome us, very useful after a long trip. The property is close to Edinburgh's main attractions. With accessible transportation options, we used Uber to get around and never had to wait more than 5 minutes. If we were to return to Edinburgh, we would stay again.
Fiona and Alistair were terrific hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The place is spacious, clean and has a comfortable bed with feather and down pillows. It’s located in a small neighborhood with bus service into town. We would definitely stay here again if we made our way back to Edinburgh.
Clean, comfortable and conveinent. Everything needed for a good stay. Half a block from bus stop. The recommended resturaunt, The Old Inn, actually had some of the best meals during our stay.
Loved staying in the flat as we didnt want to eat out 3 times/day for 2 weeks. Fiona & Allister are amazing owners, very friendly and assist if they can. Will definitely be back and highly recommend this place

Fiona and Al's property was spot on to the product they presented on the VRBO site. It felt very much like home with few exceptions.
We would see no need to look for another place when staying in Edinbourgh again
