This cottage is perfection and I feel I give the same review time and time again so here are a few local recommendations from this Edinburgh regular:
Victor Hugo is a stroll across the park for breakfast or grab a coffee and good tunes at the coffee van about three minutes walk to your right along The Meadows (get there before 9am when it’s lovely and quiet). The sausage rolls are awesome.
Bruntsfield (straight across The Meadows, cross the road and across the Links) has some great eating/drinking places. Try Montpeliers (booking advisable) or a fabulous Bross Bagel - an Edinburgh fave, now open in the St James Centre too.
