We had a lovely stay. Ground were gorgeous and cottage was lovely. Would of been good to have a few more staples such as toilet paper and washing powder. Beds were quite hard. Was lovely to be able to cook and an easy train ride to Edinburgh.

An excellent property to rent outside of Edinburgh. Perfect for dogs and families. The cottage was warm and well lit when we arrived and the fireplace was already prepped with a basket full of logs. The manager of the property was very friendly and she came over to introduce herself and check we had everything we needed. Strongly recommend and will be going back.
Check was easy, the place neat and clean. Living room has fire place where you burn wood - absolutely amazing experience. Near by field has chickens and other animals, choice of fresh eggs every morning. Plenty of parking spaces . So quite, the only sound you hear is burning of wood.
Highly recommended

About the host
Hosted by Henrietta Dundas
My family, The Dundas family, have owned and lived at Arniston for 450 years. We very much enjoy welcoming visitors to the estate to experience the timeless beauty of our home. The current mansion house was built by William Adam in 1726 and many of our cottage visitors enjoy the guided tours which run from May to mid-September. We are so fortunate to live in the country yet we have Edinburgh with all its attractions just a short train ride away.
Why they chose this property
The properties were built in the 18th century to house the foresters who worked on the estate in days gone by.
What makes this property unique
The stunning setting for our properties is always remarked on. Arniston is a designated designed landscape with many ancient broadleaf trees and wonderful woodlands to explore with pets. We have the best of both worlds as the buzz of our capital city, Edinburgh with all its attractions is a 25 minute train ride away.
