Wonderful!

Irene's place was perfect for my Aunt and I. We enjoy the comforts of a home when we travel and that's exactly what we got at Irene's. Plus the bus was just outside the door making the trips into Edinburgh so easy. The walk to downtown Dalkeith and restaurants was less than 10 minutes. The hosts were very helpful in directing us into their place with the unintended late arrival and in arranging a taxi for our trip to the airport. I only regret that I didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful garden. If you want all the amenities, plenty of space, easy access, parking, beautiful surroundings all at a great value this is the place to stay.

Lovely home in a great location

Wanted a few days to relax prior to a 10 day tour of Scotland. The Holiday house was perfect for two couples. Fantastic communication with owners and comfortable home. Well appointed notched and near bus stops. East bus access to Roslyn chapel as well as many other places to vist. We liked that we could feel safe walking to the stores and restaurants. We were sad when we had to leave

Set in a leafy upmarket conservation area , perhaps the holidaymaker can feel as if they are in Scottish millionaire row while on holiday? It has excellent heating and insulation.
