We stayed at Philippa’s cottage for two nights while we visited Edinburgh for the Christmas Markets! It’s a beautiful little place on a fabulous estate!
We walked around the estate with the dogs for miles and I still don’t think we saw the whole estate! (Oh yes, bonus that this place is dog friendly).
One downfall was that the garden wasn’t enclosed. It looked like there was once a gate but it doesn’t seem to be there anymore so we had to keep the dogs on leads (as per the rules of the estate) while taking them out to do their business.
The cottage itself is beautiful but could do with being updated, it was a little rustic in areas and the odd cobweb and spider had to be expected being in such an old building.
The beds were amazingly comfortable though and we had the best nights sleep!!
Philippa provided the lockbox code for us to check in and it was really simple and easy meaning she didn’t have to wait around for us to get there etc! She also provided us with the wifi password.
We got an Uber ride from the cottage into Edinburgh centre and it only cost us around £12-£15 for the 20 minute car journey which was great!
Points to note about Edinburgh, Scotland are still very much about covid at the minute and the bars insisted on ‘bookings only’ so we did spend a while looking for places to go which would allow us in without a booking. Also remember to take a face mask as they’re also still required!
Overall great stay and we would love to come back!
