We were really excited to come here for our holidays, the pictures looked great, despite being a cottage the pics looked like it was still modern and most importantly clean.
On entering we were greeted by the smell of damp, which wasn't pleasant. To be honest the place was not cleaned well. Superficially it was clean but on closer inspection there were issues. The fridge did not look clean and there was stuff in there from, I am guessing, whoever the last guests were, which seems particularly strange especially with Covid going on. The bedding seemed damp and smelled bad, and the towels were the same. The paint was peeling from the radiators, the bathroom gave me the creeps, had to remove various massive spiders from there on many an occasion. It was the same story in the bedroom, the spiders just kept appearing, there was a huge spider web under the bed my daughter was sleeping on, as well as damp on the wall. It was not a relaxing retreat for us due to the uncleanliness, dampness, damp smell and the continual fear of creepy crawlies (though i do accept we are in the sticks so this should be expected to an extent!) we ended up leaving early because I just couldnt relax, which was a shame as the place had so much potential - a bit more effort and it could be very nice. That aside the location is beautiful and it was very easy driving into Edinburgh.
