Lovely traditional cottage in a lovely location

This is the second time we have stayed in the cottages. It’s in a lovely location and is very convenient for us visiting family in the area. The cottages have many traditional features which are lovely albeit some are looking a little bit tired, however, excellent value for money.

Lovely stay at Lime cottage

This little cottage is so beautiful! The location for us is perfect with family close by. The cottage is so comfortable and cosy and dog friendly! The grounds are amazing even in the rain! We did the tour of Arniston House and it was fantastic! The owner and Anne weee excellent and really made the whole tour more personal! Henrietta was so very helpful and on hand anytime. We will most definitely be coming back here in the future we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect South Edinburgh base

We picked Arniston as its a great base to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas whilst being cosy and accommodating for those with mobility constraints and dog lovers. The properties offer great value and this was our second stay at Lime Cottage. And believe it or not the sun shone all week.

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.
