A beautiful cottage with facilities suitable for the family. Located next to the Kings golf course, ideal if you want a round or just an idyllic walk. Parking for two cars, lovely views and easy access to all routes. May and John were wonderful hosts, very accommodating.

The location of this cottage was perfect, very quiet and peaceful but within 10 mins of the park and ride to Edinburgh It was comfortable but quite dated and the kitchen could have been better stocked with cooking implements. The washing machine was very welcome, a pity that the tumble drier did not work adequately

Its a nice spacious cottage in a peaceful location and only a short drive to the Sheriff hall Park and Ride with a huge spacious car park and the number 33 bus takes you into the centre of Edinburgh and returns which we used regular.
