Lovely and large apartment in Penicuik.

The apartment is located in quiet location only a short walk or drive from shops, pubs and cafes. The area is surrounded by beautiful Scottish countryside with a number of walking trails to explore. The apartment is beautifully presented with lovely views. A great place to relax yet not too far from the heart of Edinburgh.

Great flat!

Jean's flat is perfect for couples or families. Everything you need. Great cooking facilities, toys for kids, comfy beds. Location was great for us to visit our relatives in Penicuik but also easy to catch the bus into Edinburgh. This was our second stay here.

Delightful!

Very comfortable flat in a quiet out-of-town location. Amazing retro furnishings and more books than a bookshop! The owner was onsite to welcome us and could not have been more helpful. A great stay, we will be back.

Perfect for us!

Very clean, all you need is already there, sufficient for a short stay, a bath to comple our vacation vibe was super! Shops and bussen nearby, we loved the quitness of the neighbourhood. The only point of attention for us was the firmness of our matrasses. To dense to feel comfy and not good for my pinced sciatic nerve! The hostess was very, very kind and that made everything good. Thank you again, Jean

Easter Stay

We generally enjoyed our stay here. It is a very pleasant flat full of nice things. It gave a good feeling of comfort and nice objects - but perhaps a little full in places, for example we'd have appreciated a bit more surface space in the kitchen. Our stay was a little stressful as my mother-in-law had to spend half the stay in hospital unfortunately, and we didn't get the best weather. It was a comfortable flat to be based, warm and everything was comfy. Penicuik itself is a pleasant place but very busy roads and not that fast to get to the Edinburgh bypass.
