Comfortable, convenient and enjoyable

A delightful and comfortable place to stay, with everything one needs. The cottage was close to the village and shops, close to the train station, and with cafe and pub serving good food nearby. It was somewhere we will try to return to in the future.

Quaint Cottage

A quaint small cosy cottage with a great garden room with views to open countryside to the rear. The host was very generous having left a welcome pack of essential groceries, wine and a beautiful welcome note. However, the property is in need of some urgent refurbishment, particularly the kitchen area and shower.

A week in East Linton

We had a great week long stay. East Linton in an amazing small town for a great family getaway. It is also a great spot to travel to Stirling Castle, St. Andrews and beaches. The view from the cottage is amazing. We really enjoyed drinks in the she shed that overlooked a rolling pasture of farm land. We will most definitely come back!

Lovely cottage, brilliant location.

The booking and organisational aspects were very smooth with friendly personal messages from the owner prior to the holiday. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable with a pretty back garden. My boys particularly liked the garden room which they commandeered as their secret clubhouse! There is so much to do nearby - beautiful beaches, walks from the door, castles and adventure activities, all within 15 minutes.

Great stay in a lovely location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lynn Cottage, cottage was so comfortable and had everything you needed. The town itself is very quaint and it was great we could take our dogs into the local for a drink. Everything was lovely and clean and bedding was great quality. It was really beneficial to have the enclose back garden and easy access into the field behind the cottage. The heating was set to come on and created a real warm atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a relaxing break in a lovely home from home cottage.

Wonderful cottage

This is a picturesque cottage, surrounded by flowers with beautiful views and sun house at the back and lovely rooms inside. With parking outside and in a lovely village with pubs, a co op shop and restaurants (I would recommend the Linton hotel and steakhouse restaurant). We came to watch the Scottish open golf, just 20 mins away. Gulane close by is a nice market town. Stephanie the host was excellent. Altogether a great stay

Relaxing stay in East Linton

Perfect location to visit beautiful beaches and do the many lovely walks in East Lothian. Cottage was very homely with an stunning view over fields from the back of the cottage. It was well equipped and located close enough to walk to the local shop and pub. Host Stephanie was very good to communicate with and provided a wealth of information re cottage, eating, beaches, walks, public transport and leaflets for all appliances in a folder. Would definately recommend a stay in here and a big thank you to Stephanie for hosting us!

Lovely homely accommodation in great location

Lovely homely accommodation situated in a convenient location for exploring East Lothian. Comfy cottage, great enclosed garden for dog, farmland views from garden. Coop just five minutes walk from house. Train from Dunbar (15 minutes drive from house) gets you into Edinburgh within 30 mins. My only criticism would be the width of the entrance to the driveway, very tight to drive car in. Overall a very enjoyable and comfy place to stay.

Lovely cottage in quiet village

A lovely comfortable cottage, a home from home with everything you need in the cottage and in the village a two minute walk away. This cottage provides a place either to relax, or to explore the surrounding area (including an excellent bus service to Edinburgh) and even the teenagers enjoyed the week we stayed. The cottage, on one floor, is spacious with a superb garden including summerhouse at the bottom overlooking the fields to spend quiet evenings in. Thank you for Stephanie for letting us stay in this wonderful cottage.

Fabulous property and location

Beautiful cottage, very homely with everything you need for a perfect break. Very comfortable beds with quality linens. The property was very clean on our arrival and a great standard. The kitchen is well equipped if you are cooking at home. The garden is ideal for dogs and very secure with a walk from the rear gate into the village or to the local garden centre with has a great cafe. The property is in a perfect location for exploring the local area with lots to see and do The summer house is a great addition and we loved sitting out with a glass of wine out chilling after a day of exploration. Great communication with Stephanie the owner Highly recommend Will be back

A relaxing time in East Linton

Property was as advertised. Very comfortable. Warm when required. Everything we would hope for with regard to essentials and utilities were provided and more. Weather wasn't the best but when the sun did shine the garden and garden room (which was so lovely) were put to good use. East Linton itself was a lovely village, everyone really friendly and good amenities. Lots of nice walks for us and the dog, and just a 40 minute drive to Edinburgh or less to a multitude of coastal sights.

homely cottage

Very good location for a relaxing time and plenty walks locally. Lovely old village, with great little book shop; interesting double decker bus Chinese take away/ restaurant. Great garden nursery and tea room nearby. Lots to do further afield at North Berwick and Castles.. Close to Edinburgh if you like to go into the city The sun room is a lovely space to relax .. take a book and snuggle in with a wee glass of wine! The cottage is very well equipped. Very comfy beds.. pillows were super! .. and also made a rhubarb crumble with the beautiful red rhubarb from the garden! Would really have liked to spend a few more days there! Only negative thing which is being picky.. TV difficult to navigate and no DVD player

We stayed for 4 days in this lovely little cottage to visit family close by. Stephanie was quick to reply to any questions and the cottage was warm and cozy. It was well equipped and was perfect for a short stay. Imagine e it would be super in the summer when we could appreciate the garden and summer house! Great location, easy parking.
