About this property

Cosy Edinburgh cottage, near Portobello

St Margaret's Cottage offers cosy, self-catering accommodation in Edinburgh in an ideal location near Portobello on the east side. This detached cottage provides accommodation for up to four people, with open plan living/dining area fully fitted kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and bathroom on the upper floor. This is perfect self-catering holiday accommodation in Edinburgh to explore the city, beach and countryside alike.

One well behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement only at time of booking. Owners must provide dogs bedding and towels and they are not permitted on furniture or beds and must not be left unattended in the property for any amount of time. An additional fee applies of £25 per stay which is paid directly to the property owner.

NEW FOR APRIL 2021: We have used our lockdown time wisely and totally refurbished the kitchen and bathroom (now with a walk-in powerful shower rather than small bath). We've painted the front and put new furniture, fencing and taken down the large conifer trees in the back garden, so it's ALOT sunnier (we've also graveled over this area with Scottish pebbles).... There's also a new firepit for cosy outdoor lounging or BBQing- pics to follow.

Edinburgh is lovely - great accommodation

The house was well equipped and nicely furnished. Its in a great location for bus journeys to Edinburgh and North Berwick and its handy having a Co-op (and Post Office)so close. The owners are very friendly and helpful - the guidebook that was available was very comprehensive. Overall we had a great time. Thank you

Lovely New Year break

Lovely wee house, great location. Well cared for and had everything we needed, very comfortable. Website and information booklet would benefit from being updated as the property now has a fab walk in shower which would be a big plus for a lot of people. Would be good if there was more choice for the TV, perhaps Netflix or similar. Would definitely go back.
