We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had everything we needed, in a nice location. The cottage can feel a little bit dark, but then the weather was not good at all, whilst we were staying, which didn’t help.

We have stayed several times, great quiet location, close to the Oark and Ride with easy access to the city centre. Grwat location for other locations, Sterling, Perth etc.

Amazing cottage in amazing surroundings. A comfortable place to stay with everything you need from the wood burner to the comfy beds. It's the perfect base for exploring as the park and ride is only 10 mins away, with trams to Edinburgh every 7 mins, and only 30 mins and your in the heart of the city. Well worth the money, just wish we had booked for the full week instead of the 4 day break. Highly recommend the coach house, ratho and Edinburgh.
