I just recently stayed at Anne-Marie’s after making an on the day booking, hosts often aren’t immediately responsive so I was worried we might miss the opportunity but Anne-Marie responded almost immediately and ensured the cabin was set up with lots of cute touches like a welcome basket with food and Prosecco and a personalised sign. All in all we had a really great stay but there were a few things other travelers should know.
The cabin was really cosy, well heated, there were dressing gowns and slippers which really added to the cosy vibes.
There was plenty of shampoo, washing up products, utensils etc. provided and Anne-Marie was great at communicating with us.
The cabin is described as secluded and we were not aware it would be in the host’s garden, the garden isn’t huge and you do have to walk past the house to get to it. This didn’t turn out to be as much of a problem as we’d thought but we’d specifically chosen the cabin due to it sounding so private and therefore wouldn’t disturb people with our noise and would also have privacy. Anne-Marie was great and wasn’t invasive at all but we were shocked when we arrived, it might help to make this clearer in the description.
There also wasn’t a tv, from my experience air b n bs without tvs usually state they don’t in the description so I had assumed one would be in the cabin. I’d travelled for work and needed access to devices like a tv for video calls (I’d checked wifi beforehand) so this made things a bit tricky but wasn’t the end of the world, just something to be aware of.
All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to someone looking for a location that is more peaceful but close enough to Edinburgh, the hot tub was particularly amazing.
