About this property

You’ll love the extra space that this charming cottage offers. The location is ideal for those who want a city break yet also looking for some peace and quiet.. All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Smart TV, Woodburner
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Gas Hob, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Washing Machine
Living room 2: Sofa Bed (Double), French Doors Leading To Garden
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, Freeview TV
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for wood burner included. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack. . Enclosed rear garden. On road parking. No smoking.. Tucked away in a hidden row of cottages (that you wouldn’t know were there unless you were visiting), Westland is an ideal home away from home for a couple looking to visit Edinburgh yet still with access to the superb road and motorway network of Central Scotland.
This delightful cottage would once have formed part of the homes for the original farm workers of days gone by, today it has been designed with guest comfort and an enjoyable experience at heart. The living space extends providing a cosy living room open plan with both the kitchen and dining area. The wood burner will always be a warm welcome after a day out exploring. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare, cook and enjoy any homely meals you wish, however given the location within Edinburgh and that you’ll not be far from restaurants and takeaways, you may find yourself enjoying these given the wide range of cuisines available. A second living space at the rear overlooking the garden is perfect for enjoying each other’s company with a drink or just simply relaxing with some music or a good book. The bedroom has generous storage and a double bed, designed with a slight retro feel, and is comfortable and well presented, making it ideal for a short break, or week or two away. The bathroom has been finished to a very good standard with a bath and shower above, perfect regardless of whether you need a quick getaway in the morning or just want to relax in a soapy bubble bath.
Guests will not have travel far to find something interesting, enjoyable or just plain old ordinary fun! From skiing at Scotland’s largest dry slope at nearby Hillend, visiting the historic medieval Edinburgh Castle, a boat trip out under the Forth Bridges, or just wander around the shops and café in the centre. If you think Edinburgh is a fantastic place, you’ll be delighted to know that Glasgow city centre, St Andrews, Stirling and Loch Lomond are all reachable by car in around an hour or less. Beach 4½ miles. Pub and restaurant 530 yards.

High quality interior. Very calm neighbourhood. More than enough welcoming gifts.( I.e. cookies, wine...). Nice part of the town. Only the sleeping conditions are for four people somewhat uncomfortable because there is no door between the twe living rooms.
