The dovecot is a truly magical and unique experience situated in a beautiful garden but close to town. It's an easy 20 to 30 minute walk to the Royal Mile in Edinburgh through parks and very safe neighborhoods. Sarah is a gracious hostess who has provided everything for a comfortable stay. You will love this place with very good restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes walk and a grocery store nearby. We had a fantastic stay-- the bed is super comfortable! We would love to return one day soon- Thank you Sarah!-Beth and Steve
