We stayed here following a major malfunction and some emergency building work in our flat. Having been so stressed out, we were grateful we managed to find somewhere to stay at such short notice. However we didn’t expect to be just as comfortable as we were in the cottage at Swanston! Joanne was amazing, messages were replied to right away. The cottage itself was clean and warm and comfortable, well furnished with a huge super king bed and nice supportive mattress as well as big cosy down duvet. The kitchen was clean, spacious, modern and well equipped. The large garden was a joy and the location right at the foot of the Pentlands between the golf courses meant there were lovely frosty walks every day.
This would be a fabulous place to stay in the summer, but even in the winter it was warm and cosy and we barely noticed the sleet and rain from inside. We were both working from home during our stay - Joanna told us in advance that the WiFi was to be upgraded and not currently sufficient for working, it turned out to be reasonably good actually but not quite enough for two people on video calls all day. We tethered from our phones instead as we had full 4G signal on both EE and O2, which was perfect.
I would absolutely recommend for anyone to stay here, at any time of year. Beautiful setting, close to lots of city amenities as well as the Pentland Hills, and very comfortable.
