This is a truly magical stay. Sarah is a wonderful host, and the cottage is absolutely stunning - one of the most romantic places we've stayed. The surroundings are beautiful - a very quiet, residential area, where you feel away from the city - but you are just a 20 min walk from the old town. We found it very easy to walk to everywhere in Edinburgh from the cottage. Sarah has guides & tips for everything you might need, and the cottage is fully equipped (and spotless clean). We loved staying in, cooking by the fireplace, and actually preferred sleeping on the sofa downstairs, by the fireplace. It was magical.
