Overall, we liked our overnight stay at the cottage.
Pros:
Location:
If you want to stay near the water, you can't beat it. It's right by the water in charming Cramond village. Nearby are some old Roman ruins and, if you have time and the tides are right, you can walk out to Cramond Island. Buses to get into town are about a 5 min walk. There is also an old pub nearby but just FYI they do not serve food on Sun/Mon nights and charge a £20 minimum if you are using a card...which has nothing to do with the cottage but is something you might appreciate knowing.
Parking:
We were a bit confused about this at first as there's a sign that says authorized vehicles only...but if you're staying here you are authorized and can park directly in front of the cottage.
Communication:
John answered any questions I had very promptly. There was self check-in with a lockbox and very easy.
Snacks:
John left some cookies and milk in the fridge.
The place:
The apartment is small, but is in an old building and has some charm.
Cons:
Not too many, but do note that as the cottage is in a historical building, the ceilings are low and there is a beam where, if you are tall, you will hit your head if you are not careful. And I noted a slightly damp, musty odor but I am sensitive to mold and often this comes with old buildings. The bathtub has high sides to step over, which was fine for me, but something to know if you have difficulty with this. And I accidentally turned on the bathtub water instead of the shower initially, could not turn it off, and then the handle came off and spurted water across the shower. We were able to fix this ourselves and I'm sure John would have fixed it promptly had I informed him then but we were in a hurry to get ready and get to the airport and I was not getting good cell phone reception.
