The cottage is lovely and was very clean. We also liked the spacy well-equipped kitchen with the nice view into the green. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the nature coming back from exploring Edinburg. The supermarket close by (opened until 10 pm) was comfortable. Philippa was a helpful, reliable host.
For going to the city center, you should rather calculate with 30 minutes, but mostly you don’t have to wait long for the next bus. For sensitive persons the nearby road might be a bit noisy, but we slept well. We would recommend the cottage and come back again.
