We had an excellent stay in the Dovecot and would strongly recommend it to others. It is a unique building and renovated to a high standard. Sarah was very helpful and friendly. She provided a number of nice touches for our arrival like fresh ground coffee and Scottish shortbread which was a great welcome. There were a number of sheets of information in the cottage about the cottage, the surrounding area and also Edinburgh itself. The cottage is easy walking distance to a number of supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants. We brought our car and the cottage provides free off street parking. We drove into the city centre and it is free to park in lots of areas in the evenings and also all day Sundays. As it was January, it did snow and was cold on our visit. The wood burning stove was great to come back to after a day sightseeing to warm us and dry out. Sarah provides all the wood and kindling in order to have fires whenever you want. The Cottage is warm as the main living spaces have underfloor heating. There is a small but well equipped kitchen area and a small table to eat your meals at. You access the cottage via the path to from Sarah’s garden. It is far enough away so that you don’t feel overlooked and it is very private. Overall, we had an excellent stay and would definitely use Sarah’s Dovecot again on our next visit to Edinbrugh.
