Fabulous Cottage for our stay!

My family and I had a lovely time at the cottage. It was easy to find and sits in a beautiful setting. It was peaceful and cosy and charming. It's easy reach to Edinburgh also. I did a gorgeous local walk along the river and beyond. We felt very relaxed and at home and wished we could have stayed longer!

Lovely hideaway in Midlothian

We had a great time in this little cottage, which was close to both nature and the City. We appreciated the on-site laundry. The owners were helpful and check-in was a breeze. We will hopefully be booking again the next time we’re in Scotland.

The bed is comfortabe and the kitchen downstairs has everything you need to self cater. We enjoyed catching the train to Edinburgh from Esbank station, which is a short drive with free parking. Highly recommend.

We had a great 2 night stay. The cottage is very well equipped with all the basic necessities you need. It’s in a quiet location which was nice to come back to after spending a whole day in the city. We used Ubers to get back and forth which we had no issues or long wait times considering the location. We would most definitely return. Thank you!!

Ireland and Scotland trip of a lifetime.

We found the cottage to be a very interesting design of the outwardly past century and inwardly modern. Victor and Carina have made the cottage a cosy place to land. The area was so delightful. We walked along tracks that took us to bubbling steams. So much flora and sunshine. Easily went on the train to Edinburgh a couple of times.

Great stay!

The hosts were very nice, greeted us when we arrived, even though we arrived very late. They had some milk in the fridge for our morning tea and coffee which was very thoughtfull. After that first greeting we really didnt see much of them. Which was also very thoughtfull, we were in our little vacation world. They wer also very quick to respond to all communication. The cottage itself was very clean and very well kept. It had everything we needed. The directions for internet, trash removal, and transprotaion areound the area were all very clear and helpful. There were three of us. I stayed on the futon sofa and the other two had the bedroom. It was a very comfortable stay.

Adorable cottage near Edinburgh

This little cottage is even better than the photos. We so enjoyed the nature walks right from the cottage, including to Rosslyn Chapel through sun dappled forest and sheep fields. It was an easy 15 minute drive to Edinburgh to see all the sights there. The owners are wonderful! We would definitely recommend this cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Victor & Carina Contini

Host profile image
Our family business is hospitality. We grow produce in our Kitchen Garden that we deliver to our restaurant on a daily basis. The cottage is on the edge of the garden and has its own small herb garden in the private courtyard at the back of the property.

Why they chose this property

The local area is very beautiful. Although we are only 5 miles out of the city centre we are surrounded by the countryside. There are lots of beautiful walks and the famous Roslin Chapel is only a few miles away

What makes this property unique

The cottage was built in the 1870’s but has been refurbished significantly internally. It still holds the charm of a period property but has all the modern essentials you would need.
