The accommodation here was perfect! We had a really nice girly room with a makeup table. We used to come by bus which is only about 10 minutes from the city centre. The personal was so nice to us, everything we needed was there. They were replying on every message and were so helpful. The cleaning lady was also so nice and every morning brought us a package of food (breakfast). I was so surprised about that and it was amazing. Definitely highly recommend this accommodation in a really beautiful area of Scotland 😊

Everything was absolutely perfect! The room was very cozy, this was the cleanest place I have ever been to!! I was amazed The hostess was very nice and communicative, she really takes care of her guests making sure they have the best time. I appreciated every little detail showing how much she cared for her guests (bath bombs and salts, mini face towels, tea and coffee in the room). It is not a hotel but a private house (which we knew before staying and we were absolutely fine with it but perhaps it may not be as clear to everyone) 6 minutes walk to the train station, 5 mins to Tesco and Lidl, very nice neighberhood, very quiet and safe. We were able to get to the center of Edinbourgh in 20 mins. Definitely recommend it!
