Easter Stay

We generally enjoyed our stay here. It is a very pleasant flat full of nice things. It gave a good feeling of comfort and nice objects - but perhaps a little full in places, for example we'd have appreciated a bit more surface space in the kitchen. Our stay was a little stressful as my mother-in-law had to spend half the stay in hospital unfortunately, and we didn't get the best weather. It was a comfortable flat to be based, warm and everything was comfy. Penicuik itself is a pleasant place but very busy roads and not that fast to get to the Edinburgh bypass.

Fabulous!!

Jean not only met us unexpectedly for a ride to the condo, she also took the time to go over some important details for our stay. The condo was immaculate and Jean even had the basics already stocked for us. She was an absolute pleasure. The town was adorable and quiet, but with plenty of shopping and places to eat. Easy public transportation to Edinburgh (which Jean notes in her binder of recommendations). Highly recommend!

Great flat!

Jean's flat is perfect for couples or families. Everything you need. Great cooking facilities, toys for kids, comfy beds. Location was great for us to visit our relatives in Penicuik but also easy to catch the bus into Edinburgh. This was our second stay here.
