We had a lovely 4 night stay at the cottage with the dogs. Only a short walk to the Rosslyn Chapel which is well worth a visit. An even shorter walk to a nice pub with good food then across the road from the pub you have a very nice cafe. Also on your door step you have some very nice walks to Rosslyn Castle and along the River North Esk. Edinburgh is only 25-30 mins drive so all in all a great location, would highly recommend a stay at the cottage...

We had a fantastic stay here. Cottage was very clean, a lot more spacious than it looked on the photos too. Location excellent, minutes walk from a super friendly pub which we enjoyed a few meals at, a lovely cafe that do delicious breakfasts and cakes, the stunning Rosslyn chapel and the bus stop which takes you right into Edinburgh city centre. We’ve loved our stay at Rose Cottage and are already planning our next visit.
