This is a lovely special place to stay. Originally (late 1800's) it was an agricultural worker's cottage and now has a special charm as it is set away from a road with allotments behind it where I saw many birds and a fox enjoying the spread of fruit and veggies!
The cottage has all you need for a holiday. It is on the 11 bus route which gets you to the city centre in 25 minutes - I recommend the Lothian bus app which works like a dream. I cooked light meals there with supermarkets in walking distance. It is extremely quiet which I greatly appreciated and I slept well in the comfy bed. All in all, a great experience - thanks Kate and your helpful family!
