Catherine was incredibly welcoming of my boyfriend and I to her home, the house was decorated nicely, incredibly clean and in a wonderful location! My favourite part of the home was THE BED!! So very comfortable and the bedroom was incredibly warm - exactly what you want for the cold evenings in Scotland. It only took us about 15 minutes to get there from the coach station and the Royal Mile and city centre, along with loads of restaurants and fast food places surrounding the home. We were welcome to come and go as we pleased, which worked for us as we were out and about from morning til evening throughout our stay, so unfortunately we didn't see much of Catherine, but when we did, she was an absolute joy to converse with.
