Excellent host! Service is like a hotel but with a much more personal experience. Clean. Quiet (do not be concerned about closeness to airport). Lovely location, where small town meets countryside. 30 min by bus to downtown Edinburgh (bus app works well). Also, if you have a car, Sabannga Thai restaurant 3 miles away comes highly recommended.

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!

I am very satisfied with my stay at this place. Ms. Margaret was a gracious and welcoming host. Everything was neat and clean, and the overall atmosphere was truly pleasant. I would highly recommend this room to anyone. The location is also excellent—just a 7-minute walk to the bus stop, with only a 15-minute ride to the city center. Both the conditions and the ambiance were definitely a plus.

The place is in a beautiful town, one bus line gets to the city center. Bus stop just steps from the place, there is a grocery store just nearby, very convenient location. The room is very clean and unique. The view from every window is gorgeous. Ann is very warm and welcoming, giving us suggestions as it is our first time in Scotland. Thanks Ann for opening your place. We will definitely come back next time. Take care 😘
