Nice cottage some distance from the street, so pretty quiet. Messages to property manager Joivy regarding how the operate radiator and request for more towels went unanswered. Outlet in the bathroom would have been nice.

The whole home was impeccably clean and beautiful. I loved all the beautiful textiles, the way the curtain matched the coffee table etc. Parking was also so so handy and everywhere we needed to go was within 25min drive due to how close the bypass was. Hopefully we'll be able to stay again in the summer and make use of the outside space.

Lovely accommodation in a nice, residential area of Edinburgh, with easy access to both city life and beautiful green spaces. The agent responded quickly on the couple of occasions we needed to contact them. I found the online guides to be generic and not specific to the property e.g. the heating system. Certainly recommend this place to stay.
