A very cozy stay
We spent a few very nice days here exploring Scotland. The proximity to Edinburgh is fantastic, but a trip to the Highlands is also easily possible. The cottage is small but nice and the fireplace in particular offers a lot of coziness. The kitchen is very well equipped and the location is very quiet overall. Thank you for the great time!

Perfect getaway
A lovely cottage in a quiet location. Very comfortable and well equipped. Plenty to do in the area, or just enjoy the tranquility at the cottage. Henrietta was welcoming and the information we received before and during out stay was very helpful.
Highly recommend

Our perfect stay at the Arniston Estate
Everything was so wonderful and perfect. It was everything that we had dreamed our stay in Scotland would be. Henrietta was so kind and helpful, she even recommended a lovely place to eat and shop! The grounds of the estate were beautiful and amazing to explore. We will definitely be returning to the estate in the future

A great stay overall.
Lovely warm house in a beautiful setting. Could do with a bit of updating. For example, the toaster didn’t work and the beds and pillows were quite lumpy. On the whole though, we had a wonderful time and would go back.

What a gem!
My husband and I had such an incredible time in this beautiful cottage! We wished we’d stayed longer and could explore more locally! The house itself was absolutely stunning, and conversations with Henrietta were so lovely and personable. We were absolutely delighted when we walked in and discovered all the lovely nuances and details. Highly recommend!!

Perfect stay
We needed a place to stay for a few days since we were having work done in our house, and found this amazing place while searching on Google. The cottage is lovely! Everything was above and beyond our expectations!
The estate surrounding the cottage is wonderful, peaceful and beautiful.
Despite the weather was not great we really enjoyed spending time indoors.
The cottage has Everything you need to make you feel like being home.

Ok though lacking charm
The description and photos of the cottage made it appear quite charming but it was actually very ordinary. Our stay was ok, it had what we needed. We made use of a park and ride and rode the bus into Edinburgh which was convenient.

Lovely, comfortable stay.
Had a thoroughly relaxing break, Henrietta extremely helpful. Our only fault if there is one is that the microwave and oven were dated, particularly the microwave, and the property would benefit from a smart tv. Comfortable beds, we all slept well and delicious eggs! Thank you.

A comfy cottage in a wonderful location.
We had a brilliant week here at Chesnut cottage. The grounds are absolutely lovely with lots of walks and country parks located nearby. Edinburgh is just a short drive and there were lots of attractions there for my boys.
The cottage itself is very comfortable and I loved cooking in the airy kitchen! Everthing we needed was available. Henrietta was extremely helpful and immediately helped me with any queries I had. Just a serene, comfortable stay.

A wonderful stay at Chestnut cottage
The cottage was a perfect base for visits to Edinburgh (train nearby in Gorebridge), Glasgow (only 1 hour drive), and other wonderful places like Rosslyn Chapel, the Pentland hills,… The cottage is really charming and cosy and provides all the comfort you need after a long day out. Only the shower is a bit basic, but it works well enough. Another plus is that the cottage is situated in the large domain of Arniston house. It is very quiet and you can take long walks on the estate.
We certainly hope to go back sometime.

Nice cottage
We chose this cottage because of its authentic appearance and because it is located on a beautiful estate. In addition, it is also close to Edinburgh which we wanted to visit. You can do it by car or by train from Gorebridge. The cottage is small but nice and cosy. There is a even a nice fireplace. Furthermore, the facilities were complete for a week's stay for 4 people. The only pity was that the freezer was quite frozen over, so we could only use 1 drawer.

Like stepping back in time but in comfort
We had a very nice first visit to this part of Scotland - to visit family who have downsized! We were really glad that we found and could afford such a nice place to stay. Everything was great - really comfortable, felt like the setting for a Catherine Cookson novel! The fire was hard to keep alight with just wood - I assume this is because in the old days this fire was used for coal? But there were some lovely blankets in the downstairs (twin) bedroom that we put to good use when the heating went off (we’re night owls!). Tiny TV but the kitchen was really well equipped - even had a hand whisk!

Stayed for work and family holiday
My family and I stayed in Chestnut cottage for a week in July. I was working in Edinburgh for the week and was able to hop on the train at Gorebridge station and be in the centre of the city within 25 mins. Coming back to Arniston after my working day was an absolute pleasure as I could walk the grounds and be totally relaxed almost immediately. My family (wife and three kids aged 6, 3 and 1) loved exploring the grounds spending time in the cottage itself during the day. The cottage is beautiful inside and out, very clean and so comfortable. We had everything we needed for our stay and felt really well looked after by our hosts. We will definitely be making a return to Chestnut Cottage when we can. Highly recommended.

Calm and cosy little cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at Chesnut Cottage ! Very cosy, warm, welcoming little house ! Thank you for welcoming us and our dog !
The Arniston Estate is lovely, very calm. A nice place for walks. Very dark at night, we had the chance to see plenty of stars when the sky was clear enough.
The fireplace with everything needed and the bathtube were the cherry on top !
Easy to access from Edinburgh airport. The train station of Gorebridge is also a big plus. 25min by train and you're in the town center of Edinburgh !
Little detail: we struggled a bit with the electric plate. It takes too long to cook with it. It could be nice to have an induction plate instead :)

Om värden
Henrietta Dundas är värd
My family, The Dundas family, have owned and lived at Arniston for 450 years. We very much enjoy welcoming visitors to the estate to experience the timeless beauty of our home. The current mansion house was built by William Adam in 1726 and many of our cottage visitors enjoy the guided tours which run from May to mid September. We are so fortunate to live in the country yet we have Edinburgh with all its attractions just a short train ride away.
Varför värden valde detta boende
The properties were built in the 18th century to house the foresters who worked on the estate in days gone by.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
The stunning setting for our properties is always remarked on. Arniston is a designated designed landscape with many ancient broadleaf trees and wonderful woodlands to explore with pets. We have the best of both worlds as the buzz of our capital city, Edinburgh with all its attractions is a 25 minute train ride away.
