Beautiful, spacious house in a quiet location a couple of miles from the city centre.

Loved the enclosed garden and lounge with huge glass doors.

With Holyrood Park almost on the doorstep and Scotland's oldest inn just round the corner, what else would you need from a place to stay?

We'd certainly stay here again.

Our stay in the Edinburgh area was great and the house was much more than we expected.

The house was in a very quiet part of town and the gardens across the street were a real bonus.

The location was great and only an hour walk to the center of town (driving into the old part of town not recommended, especially if you are not accustomed to traffic circles).

We would definitely consider renting the house again the next time we are in Scotland.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your review,would it be fair to say that an hour to walk into the centre ...would be at a very leisurely pace?
The gardens refered to are Dr Neils's gardens which are 100m from the houses front door-Edinburgh's best kept secret ;-)

Absolutely fantastic accommodation in a beautiful and quiet part of Edinburgh. The sun room and garden were great for sitting out and chilling with wine during the day and the evening. The children loved the garden and all the space for running around in - plus they made the most of the decking catwalk! It was really easy to stroll into Edinburgh along the beautiful paths under Arthur's Seat. Craig's hospitality was superb. I would thoroughly recommend the accommodation to anybody who is staying in Edinburgh.

Hi Jane,

Thankyou so much for your great review...Iam delighted you enjoyed your stay...did you cycle all the way home to Yorkshire or was one way enough?

Hope you come again.

Comments from our Guest Book

"The house is stunning. There were 8 of us in total as part of a wedding party and there was plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 children. The house is very well equipped, with sufficient crockery & cutlery etc for a large number of guests. The large dining area and equally large living room made it very relaxed. Property was clean, beds were comfy with plenty of linen and towels provided. Free unlimited on-street parking directly outside. Also, the use of free wi-fi was great as we had taken a laptop and could check the weather, things to do, plan routes etc. The house is in a great location and climbing Arthurs Seat proved a good way of allowing the children to let off steam. The house is a gentle 30-minute walk into Edinburgh. Would definitely stay here again if we were travelling in a large party - highly recommended for 2 families.
Nice easy access to the property by means of the keysafe - great idea when you're not sure what time you will arrive."
