Great place for a trip to Edinburgh. Close enough to the city centre but far enough for peace and quiet if that’s what you want. Bus stop just round the corner to take you either side of Edinburgh castle depending on your plans. If the weather is nice just drop down onto the Union Canal towpath (tarmac so no mud) for a very nice walk straight into the city centre (about 30 mins at a leisurely pace). Very comfortable accommodation and a very warm welcome.
