Guestbook
nice location, great house
This is a very nice house in one of Edinburgh's best areas and so close to the city we walked home twice. Plenty of buses though and only a few stops from the West End. My teenage daughter also loved walking to the variety of shops just around the corner. This was a good choice for our first self catering holiday. A lovely owner as well who genuinely cared that we have a good holiday. Lots of nice touches which we appreciated. We found a very clean, warm and welcoming house. A little gem. We will return.
lovely house, wonderful view
We stayed here for two weeks in June and had a great holiday. As soon as we stepped inside we felt at home. The house is spotlessly clean and kitchen utensils and appliances are new. Should also mention very comfortable beds a real bonus with holiday homes. We had great weather and used the garden a lot, it was nice to sit in the quiet at the back with a coffee after dinner and a hard day's sightseeing. There are lots of shops 5 minutes’ walk away and we were able to stock up for eating in. There are quite a few good restaurants within walking distance.This is a very well equipped house, thoughtfully supplied with everything one needs whilst away from home. Highly recommend.
