First, Sarah is truly a lovely person. She was very helpful and gave tips on what to do and see and was very accomodating. It is clear she has put a great deal of care into her house and the Cottage and it shows in the details. Dovecot Cottage is phenomenal. Truly a unique lodging in a very nice and central part of Edinburgh (although getting day bus passes makes gettting around even more convenient). While the exterior might suggest a rustic interior, it is very well balanced between remainting historical without sacrificing any comforts. The living spaces are very cozy and the kitchen is beautiful. I rarely note bathrooms, but given the nature of the cottage, I could not have expected how nicely done and large the bathroom was. Heated floors and a beautiful shower made waking up a very easy transition. This cottage is a gem and adds a unique experience to an already exciting city.
