Nothing was too much trouble for Judith. She went to the extra mile to provide us with some basic staples so that we might cook some food. We even got free wine! They live on a sizeable man-made plot containing a rock garden and water features which is shared with the lodge itself. Judith and her husband are far enough away in a separate property on the acreage, but close-by if you need them. This is handy when you need tips for exploring the local area which they are knowledgeable on. The character of the stone lodge has been well preserved despite thorough refurbishment to include all the modern amenities. Everything was clean and worked like a charm. Local taxi firms know where the lodge is and Edinburgh centre, the airport and South Queensferry are within easy reach by bus, too.
