I can’t say enough good things about this adorable house by the beach, far away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh center, but just a short bus (No. 16) from just about everything.
Picture a quiet cottage with a quiet garden with a stone wall, flowers, and an apple tree and you have exactly that. Add to it a quiet studio with a bed and bath just steps away and you have this perfect place.
The house feels like home. It’s bright and warm (unless you want a bit more privacy and drop all the shades, making the whole experience just a little darker).
The kitchen is fully stocked for whatever you might want to cook. Apple cobbler, perhaps?
The bed is so comfy, you might just want to pull up the covers and nap all day. Don’t. There’s so much to do. Even if you don’t want to venture into Edinburgh (but, do go there), there is still a lovely, wide beach. Local residents swim in the 55° (F) water. Occasionally, there are seals sunning themselves too.
There are several restaurants within walking distance. We only went to Old Chain Pier. It was quite good and I especially recommend the lemon cheesecake.
If you’re having a stay in Edinburgh, put this fantastic little house at the top of your list and grab it up if it’s available.
