  • Bob

    Grounds are fabulous with lots of wildlife to spot. Major drawback is the stairs, they are a challenge for anyone who is other than fit, having said that, would still recommend.

  • Claire

    The complimentary basket with tea, coffee and biscuits was much appreciated - especially after climbing the stairs. The only downside was the weekend went too quickly, would like to have seen more of the grounds and surrounding area. Will certainly consider booking again - for a little longer next time.

  • Patricia

    Apartment warm and cosy and facilities basic but very good. Were prepared for the stairs and I elected the man to carry everything up and down - except me! Only comment - lighting levels very low especially in the sitting room - we don't watch TV when on holiday but we do read a lot and I take time out to paint and draw. Location very handy for train into Edinburgh (10 mins to Park & Ride) and other places of interest. Thanks for a great week.
