The cottage is in an excellent location very near a really great pub restaurant literally 2 minutes away the staff were lovely there, also all major supermarkets are within 10 minutes also a short walk to Rosslyn chapel not to be missed &2 small local supermarkets The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and has really a lovely garden.Minor issues are the sky box is in a cupboard and that needs you to get up and point it to use sky & the signal went off at regular intervals also the hot water in the downstairs shower was hit and miss other than that we had a lovely time and in the cottage we were in we had off road parking

Generally a comfortable, clean cottage but didn’t appreciate 1. The lack of a welcome hamper - and asked that this be noted in the listing 2. Furry mould at bottom of kitchen bin which really needed a good scouring with bleach and a long handled brush, but I did what I could with what was to hand3. Tired and peeling coaster and place mats. Plus chipped crockery, no scales, no bread bin, no butter dish4. A very blunt bread knife which nearly caused a nasty injury 5. Wrong mobile number in cottage manual, so I reassured the poor woman who had got my texts and called me as she was thoroughly fed up about being contacted that I would sort it.These issues were drawn to the owners and agents’ attention and where possible sorted swiftly and to my satisfaction

Very comfortable cottage very close to the Rosslyn Chapel. A short walk to an excellent restaurant and coffee shop.It would have been appreciated if there had been a bath mat and a shower mat.
