We had an amazing time in Duddingston for Christmas. The staff were so welcoming and arranged decorations (which we paid a little extra for) and some other lovely touches. We asked ahead of time if there would be kitchen equipment for our Christmas roast and a casserole and they provided us with all the extras. We could have done with some other bits and bobs (like Oven gloves and spare bedding- some of us were not well during our stay and we needed to change sheets, but no spare sets were left for us). And the house could do with a manual of sorts that would give instructions on the house, like, for example, how to make the top oven work (it wasn’t easy to make it work) and some other bits of information about local attractions etc (bus route details, paths to Arthur’s Seat and so on). All in all it was a wonderful place to stay, well situated and nice decor. A few things for the host to work on but really generous and thoughtful with regards to us having a lovely Christmas. Many thanks.
