Lovely views from the top level, incredibly comfortable beds and immaculate bathrooms! Was a fabulous property and quick drive to the Edinburgh airport (20 minutes) making it very convenient for our morning departure. The area is walkable and peaceful, right by the water and felt very safe and suburban. The mater bedroom sitting area was so nice to see the bridges and sunset views. Easy to get in and out and park. Host was responsive and provided all needed information.

Loved the views!

We enjoyed the stay very much. We just wish the hot water lasted a bit longer for a bath.

The property was very nice with a fantastic view. I had a hard time getting the host to give me the actual street address (took 3 messages back and forth). I was trying to map out walking distances from the apt to the train station, restaurants, and grocery stores. I had done this based on the original address, but then had to re-do it all when I finally got the actual street address. I was told that the code to get into the property would be emailed to me at 4pm, but I didn't have wifi unless I was at a location that provided it for free. Therefore, I had to wait in Edinburgh until 4pm. Taxis are hard to come by in Dalgety Bay, so walking from the train station was our only option. Also, there's a washing machine, but no dryer.

Great Location and view

Perfect place to stay away from the hussle bustle of Edinburgh. Just far enough away you can get there in no time. The penthouse was great and pretty much everything you needed with a fantastic view. Would definitely stay here again.

The location was very quiet and clean. It was conveniently located near a fuel station, convenience store and a few restaurants. It was comfortable and clean inside. The view from the balcony is exceptional.

Family short break

It's an absolute pleasure to have a family break at the property. It's every thing as it said on the tin. Would have been better if there was a professional communication with the host such as check- in info needed to be send out ahead of the travel day and some issues like resolving hot water system. travel dayof travel time

Lovely penthouse with breath taking view

Perfect location for some peace and tranquillity ..... yet in 30 mins you're in the centre of Edinburgh.The images in the listing do not do justice to the penthouse. It is spacious, with a lovely big living area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Bedrooms are extremely comfortable, as were the bathrooms. highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment with gorgeous views

Visiting for a few days during the Edinburgh International Festival. The apartment is gorgeous and very well appointed with anything you could need. The views of the bay are phenomenal and a great start or end of your day. The host was very easy to communicate with and very responsive. There is a bus that is a short walk away to get to Edinburgh a few minutes walk. The bus runs until 1AM, so plenty of time to enjoy pubs and still be able to return to your apartment. If you get the chance walk to the Louis Browns for a Meal- do it. Fantastic food and atmosphere just a short walk.

Spectacular!

In a word, this place is spectacular! Before I booked the property I thought the pictures were absolutely beautiful. They actually didn’t do the beauty justice. Inside and out this place is a gem. Right along the coast with an awesome view of the four bridges and beautiful bay breezes to greet you as you start your day, the inside of the unit is just as spectacular as the views are outside. The host is amazing and offered some great touches like a welcome basket and is super responsive during your stay. Access to Edinburgh is very easy via car, train or bus. The kids did not want to leave and want us to move in ! If you are considering heading to the Edinburgh area, this is your place to stay. If you are looking at this listing and trying to consider whether or not to stay here, do not think any longer. Book it now!
