Lovely stay at a gorgeous home

The house was perfect for our group of 7. Loads of space for everyone, the large patio door gives a wonderful indoor outdoor living feel. The kids had loads of fun playing table tennis. Well equipped kitchen. Easy access to get into Edinburgh! Gorgeously decorated

A beautiful and welcoming home away

Our family of six had the good fortune to stay in this beautiful home for a week in August 2019. I use the word "home" intentionally as this house is very much a "home" - everything in the house appears intended to warmly welcome guests to relax and enjoy! The pictures, while wonderful, do not do full justice to this house. Every room is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, and there is plenty of room for the whole to spread out. The kitchen, eating and family room area were perfect for the whole family to congregate at the beginning and end of every day. We made full use of the extremely well-stocked kitchen to make family meals in the mornings and a few nights during our visit. With the Morrison's grocer a 10 - 15 minute walk away, or the Tesco about a 5 - 10 minute drive away, there were very easy options for allowing us to find everything we needed in terms of food and other essentials. As for the bedrooms, all have very comfortable beds and beautiful furnishings. Again, this meant that, in addition to the family room and two sitting rooms, there was plenty of space where people could spread out and have their own time away from the rest of the family. The three full bathrooms and powder room are lovely - with good showers in two of the bathrooms and a good shower/tub combo in the other. This meant that everyone also had lots of room to get ready in peace every day. We also took advantage of the washer and dryer during our visit. Both are full size and the laundry room is well equipped for hanging clothes if need be. The weather was cool and drizzly (it is Scotland after all), so we didn't get much opportunity to enjoy the lovely gardens, but did get a chance to see a couple of deer enjoying the scenery! With respect to location, this is a good location to use as a home base for travel. There is a bus stop within a 5 minute walk that was convenient for getting into Edinburgh without worrying about traffic and parking. Also, the local commuter train is a short drive away (5 minutes), and has a large parking lot. Of course, being outside of Edinburgh also meant that getting out to the Scottish Borders, St. Andrews, Dundee or over to the west coast was easy. We also enjoyed the fact that we could walk to a local pub just down the street, or take a short drive to a some very nice restaurants. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and very highly recommend it to others. Thank you to Iris and Andrew for sharing your lovely home!

A Fabulous Home away from Home!!!

Truly one of the finest Homes we have stayed in Scotland. Convenient to the city center and major highways. A modernized home originally built in the 1870’s. Clean, spacious and well appointed. A must stay in the Edinburgh Area. Iris and Andrew were tremendous hosts.

Waleed and his family were super guests. They communicated with us easily and looked after the house very well! We would love to have them back again anytime! On check out day the family took great care to show us the house & respected that we like to keep the house relatively tidy. They were hugely thoughtful and we did a great WhatsApp check out together. I was very impressed by their attention to detail and the care they took!
