Little gem in Edinburgh

Lovely house in a good area and only a short distance from the city centre. We liked the peace of the surroundings and garden and my teenagers loved being able to walk to the ample variety of ‘corner’ shops on their own to spend pocket money out of view of mum and dad. This is a very nice house with a lovely owner who actually cares that you have a good holiday and also does not take advantage of families by inflating rental tariffs at school holiday times. We found a spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming house. A little gem. Can’t wait to come back!

Marvelous Little Home in Edinbrough

Cozy and convenient. Lorraine, the owner, provides everything you could ever wish for, snacks, wine, kitchen equipment and supplies. Also laundry equipment and supplies, fresh linens and bath supplies, TVs in the living room and both bedrooms, wonderful working gas fireplace in the living room AND a fabulous backyard with squirrels and birds. Lorraine is the best part of this property, she was right there when we arrived and walked us to the nearby grocery store. She made sure that we lacked for nothing and even gave us a half-penny for our daughter's wedding that week. She is an incredibly thoughtful and gracious host. We will definitely stay there on our next trip to Scotland.

Highly Recommend!

Lorraine was very welcoming and kind, meeting us after an overnight flight from the US, and the house was perfect: very clean, great location close to Sainsbury where we walked for groceries, bus stop at the end of the street for getting downtown, very comfortable rooms, and blooming garden. We stayed for 6 days while exploring Edinburgh, and took really lovely side trips to Musselburgh and Rosslyn Chapel. This house was the perfect for us - the children enjoyed the books in their room and their view of Edinburgh, as well as playing in the garden. The TV and wifi were very much appreciated, and the welcoming bottle of wine, milk, biscuits, bread & butter were such a nice touch. Lorraine was really lovely, and we had numbers to contact in case of any problems (there were none - the house is great!) My husband also enjoyed chatting with the friendly neighbor - one morning he was invited to have coffee next door! Overall we had 3 weeks in Scotland, and our time at Lorraine's very clean house was the perfect way to start it! Our favorite activities for our first visit to this area: Harry Potter Walking Tour (free, but you tip at the end) Rosslyn Chapel, walking Arthur's Seat, the castle and the Real Mary King's Close.) We could not see the palace as the Queen was in residence and it was closed to visitors. We rode the city bus everywhere (there's free wifi onboard) and found it easy to navigate our way around, buying a family day pass.) Thank you, Lorraine. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend staying here.

So so good

Communication with Lorraine was excellent from start to finish and what a lovely lady to deal with. We were greeted with a really warm welcome and to be honest it was like being greeted by a relative we had gone to stay with. The welcome pack was one of the best we have ever had and very much appreciated. The house is so comfortable and cosy and it was like going home after a day out. It is extremely well equipped and there is a huge folder with all the instructions for the appliances if needed. The beds were really comfortable and we slept well, the area is so quiet. There is a shopping centre not too far away which you can walk to and has a good sized Sainsbury’s, boots and a TKMax along with a few other stores. There is an excellent bus service which we used regularly and we also walked into Princes Street which took us 35mins. If you fancy a takeaway we can highly recommended Franco’s who deliver, the menu is not just the usual fish and chips. Would we stay here again yes definitely.

Gemütliche Ferienwohnung in Edinburgh

Es handelt sich um ein Reihenendhaus mit einem kleinen Garten. In dem netten Häuschen ist alles vorhanden, was man brauchen könnte. Vom Essplatz aus kann man im Garten Vögel und Eichhörnchen beobachten und auch ein Fuchs kam vorbei. Ein Supermarkt ist in fünf Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen und mit dem Bus gelangt man von der nahegelegenen Bushaltestelle in einer Viertelstunde in die Innenstadt. Ein Ordner mit Tipps und Informationen befindet sich in der Wohnung. Lorraine was a wonderful hostess and she gave us a warm welcome. We would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful and comfortable home with everything one could need

The house was spotless when we arrived and Lorraine was very sweet and helpful with advice on how to get around the city. The house is in a great location with a Sainsbury's just around the corner and a bus stop close by too. The house had everything we ever needed, especially cleaning supplies that are often overlooked by property owners. All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay at a place that feels like a second home.
