We liked the location of Duddingston although a bit out of town. The accommodation was great for our party of six adults. Might feel a bit crowded if 8 adults. The sitting room kitchen area was excellent. The secure small garden and parking very good.
A Old Church Lane was surprisingly busy and the all bedroom windows were onto this road. Not a problem if window closed - the master bedroom has a garden window. We found that ventilating using most of the many garden facing windows worked well.
Communication with Hist Company really good - very responsive.
The gate code didn't work on first arrival but new code promptly sorted. Told two 'keys' in key safe - door key + alarm fob - but only key was in there.
The bed in naster bedi very comfortable - im buying the same mattress after the host kindly provided brand info.
All in all an excellent place - one we would happily use again.
