Lots of positives about this place:
Excellent showers, comfortable beds and sofas, lashings of hot water. Heating if you need it. The garage was a huge bonus as was the downstairs loo with little ones. The smart tv enabled us to keep them happy for the brief times we were not out and about, exploring lovely Edinburgh, and the location was absolutely fabulous, within easy walking distance of parks, the castle, shops etc. Good selection of toys and books for little people.
There is major building work going on next door and there is a beer garden just opposite which can be noisy in the evenings but only till 10:00.
There are random things in some of the cupboards belonging to former guests or original owners ( a printer in a floor level cupboard in the sitting room prompting a lot of ‘ leave that alone, it’s not ours’ to small children who like to push buttons!)
The house has good quality fixtures and fittings, which are showing inevitable signs of wear and tear. This didn’t bother us - in fact, it made for a more relaxing stay with children than we would have had in a pristine house, but the place could benefit from a steam cleaner and some fresh paint.
