Had a rapid response to my enquiry even though Anne-Marie was in France. The house is a beautiful large stone one in the suburbs of Edinburgh yet set in a wooded valley close to restaurants and pubs. It is a 20 minute brisk walk from the nearest local railway station but much closer to bus routes; and also only a 50 minute brisk walk from Heriot-Watt University. It was very quiet - I could only here the river at night. The room was small and cosy. I was made very welcome. Breakfast was exactly when I needed it and was a lovely spread.
