The lodge is conveniently placed within walking distance of Edinburgh West End and with easy access to the by-pass. It is compact, but filled with essential appliances and an individual mix of furniture. Beds were comfortable, but sleep would come more readily if pillows and duvet covers with textured decorative strips were replaced with good quality plain cotton to match the towels. We found no manuals, but appliances were easy to use, except the tv- if Netflix and Amazon Prime are available, as listed, we missed them. The owner was very pleasant and available if advice was needed.
The setting, a converted garage in the owner’s garden is quite attractive, but the garden is small and well used by the owner. All ground floor windows overlook and are overlooked by the garden and this makes it feel as if you are a guest in their home, rather than renting a separate property.
The driveway parking involves an acute change of gradient which meant that our car was at risk of grounding, so we had to use three hour limited duration parking nearby. Long term options exist but only at the far end of a long road. SUV drivers might use the driveway but ordinary cars beware!
