    It’s a great base for exploring and was really clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed, and was as described. The owner’s directions before were very useful, and our son was happy to find shortbread on arrival. It’s in a great quiet spot but lovely walks on the doorstep, and easy to get to shops and amenities. We went with two kids and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. So easy to get train to Edinburgh, and lots of lovely places to go local. Really nice.
