  Das Haus war wirklich toll, die Schlafzimmer geräumig mit großen Kleiderschränken. Die Betten waren bequem und wirklich sehr sauber, selbst die Kissen waren bequem. Es waren auch viele Bügel in den Schränken. Das Badezimmer war auch sehr sauber und die Temperatur ließ sich gut regeln. Es ist eine Badewanne im Bad, in der man auch duscht. Für uns kein Problem, für ältere Leute eventuell ein Problem. Die Handtücher waren auch sehr sauber. Seife war vorhanden das Toilettenpapier reichte bis zum letzten Tag. Es gab auch ein Reinigungsmittel. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, es gibt sogar einenGefrierschrank. Töpfe, Pfanne, Besteck, alles da was man benötigt. Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine auch da dazu auch Waschmittel und Spülmittel. Das Wohnzimmer war gemütlich mit mit viel Platz für alle. Im Wintergarten gab es einen Esstisch den wir aber nicht benutzten weil es doch etwas sehr kalt im Januar war. Wir konnten aber auch gut im Wohnzimmer essen. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es weiterempfehlen oder selbst noch mal wiederkommen. Verbesserungsvorschläge: 2 Decken im Wohnzimmer um sich einzukuscheln. Die Lage war sehr gut 30 Minuten zum Zentrum, Bushaltestelle und einkaufen 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Die Schotten waren alle sehr freundlich und höflich. ÖPNV super.

  Positives. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet.

  Niggles. We were cold! And it was only October! Each room has an electric panel heater but these were inadequate. There were no instructions how to programme them (they were all different) so we couldn't set them to come on just before we returned. The door into the upstairs shower room catches on the bedroom carpet making it very stiff. There was no shelf or towel rail near the shower nor a bath mat. No cleaning materials in shower room nor bathroom. WiFi only worked in sitting room. Sofa in sitting room very soft so 2 people slid onto each other. No key to go out onto patio. No where sensible to store food in kitchen. No vacuum or long handled brush to clean floor. There was a Ewbank type floor cleaner but they never work well. No floor mop. Microwave had sticker showing it should have been PAT tested in 2021. Sticker on fridge unreadable. One or two niggles would be ignored but there were too many. In general holiday cottages are pretty well fitted and looked after but this one needed some attention.

  Spacious, homey, great bang for your buck. 4 adults had no issues with space. Make sure you bring toiletries. We had to buy extra paper towel and toilet paper. For a week we only got 1 towel each but if you’re desperate, there’s a washer to wash your towels. No dry so time your drying accordingly! When we arrive there was dish towels soaked and stinky left in the wash machine. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay! I would definitely recommend this to a family or couples. The bus route to the city centre is amazing. Just hop on 1 bus, and you get yourself a little tour the whole way there. The co-op nearby is great as well! We got to get a lot of goodies and could cook them up in the fully equipped kitchen!! :)

  Fantastic communication both before, during and after.

  Sorry about the confusion with the cooker. You need to use it in conjunction with the timer. We would recommend the tour of the house and gardens. Great for getting into the city of Edinburgh. As discussed some information in the welcome pack regarding the best park and ride with a postcode and directions for getting a bus would be a big help as they aren’t as easy to navigate as other cities but appreciate that is not Cockenzie Hoise & Gardens’ issue. Chinese is great if you don’t want to cook and the cafe is well worth a visit. A lovely coastal walk nearby too. Already discussing about the possibility of coming back next year. Thank you Julie and David

  I cannot praise this cottage enough.

  We had a fantastic stay. The cottage is much more spacious than it looks on the pictures. The location is fantastic with views of the beautiful house gardens on one side and the sea on the other. There was live music in the gardens on Sat and Sun but only till 8.30 so enough to enjoy, not late enough to really disrupt the kids sleeping patterns. The cottage is nice and cool and light. The only thing we struggled a little with is that there are emergency exit lights in the corridors that are permanently on and were quite bright but I think that is a requirement for the site. Bus ride into Edinburgh was easy and there is plenty to see locally.
