What a fantastic week ! Ali & Al are nothing short of being the perfect hosts. Our very late arrival didn't even disturb them.

Their coach house is just perfect from top to bottom. As others have written, it's spotless, comfortable, warm and has all the amenities you will need for both a short and/or long stay.

Ali & Al have thought of everything guests may need, from the welcome basket with bread, milk, orange juice, marmalade, coffee & tea to the emergency toiletries one might need, should you have forgotten anything.

The location is perfect to use as a base for exploring both edinburgh and the surrounding countryside. You are minutes away from the base of Arthurs seat (slightly longer to the top) and the park, minutes away from the Meadows (another park), seconds away from the commonwealth pool.

The town (Castle, Grassmarket & Princess Street) are minutes away with either a cab or bus (of which there are both plenty) should you not feel like walking, for those that prefer walking you can probably reach the grassmarket/castle within 20-30 minutes at a relatively brisk pace.

If there is anything that may pose a slight problem, it would be parking as there are meters and permit holder only areas all over Edinburgh which could potentially cause others a problem.

Like others, I could go on but I'll finish with the recommendation to book here if you can ... you will not regret it.
