Check-in is nice and easy. The cottage is much more spacious than it looks and is lovely and cosy. The shower is great, and the kitchen is fully equipped. The bed is super comfy and very soft. Getting into the city center is pretty easy, as there is a bus top very close (Protip for anyone not used to Edinburgh's buses, take correct change as they do not give any) and there is a Co-op and Chinese buffet/takeaway 5-10 minute walk down the road. There is a fantastic view from the kitchen window and terrace area towards Dalkeith and the surrounding area. The cottage is dog friendly, and ours loved it. If you look out of the bedroom window early enough you might see some sheep. The cottage is far enough from the road that it is lovely and peaceful at night, and there are no street lamps in the vicinity so the bedroom is lovely and dark.
