"While traveling with our 15 year old son we stayed the weekend in this lovely cottage on the property of Victor an Carina just south of Edinburgh. The hosts are showed wonderful hospitality and the cottage is comfortably set up to sleep three (or four). Great attention to details of all we needed for a comfortable stay including notes for outings in the area and for getting to Edinburgh by bus or train. We definitely want to return to this beautiful cottage with wonderful hosts."

"We had a last minute change of plans and I needed to find suitable accommodation for my family of 4. I came across the 'Garden House' in my initial search and compared 5 other similar solutions. None measured up and that was only based on the images. The pictures undersold the property, utterly. The Garden House became a serendipitous highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. The location, setting, layout, preparation, standards, provisions were are excellent. The setting within Oxenford Castle...

"Excellent. Will try to stay there again."

"Very nice and relaxing in the hot tub with a lovely private garden."

"Very historic"

"Our stay here was perfect. It’s convenient, clean, and extremely cozy. The hosts were great and responsive. Only wish we could have stayed longer!"

"If you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries this is the lace to go. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Henrietta provided all the information we needed. We would definitely go back again, we were sad to leave and could have happily stayed for a few more days"

"We loved everything about our stay at Townhead from the glorious views to the cozy and thoughtfully planned house. Communication with the manager and the housekeeping staff before and during the stay was prompt and kind. The welcome drinks and food meant we didn’t have to run into Peebles when we first arrived. We unpacked and would have happily stayed much (much!) longer than a week. It’s a wonderful area to walk and explore but really, you’ll want to stay home and read or write or draw....

"We were a group aged nine to eighty. There was a lot on offer to cater for us all. There were nine of us and the place was big enough for us to spread out and enjoy varying activities. A bus stop outside going into Edinburgh was a bonus. Would highly recommend it. Does Scotland proud!"

"What a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage! Peaceful with beautiful accomodations."

"This cottage was a great surprise and absolutely beautiful. If you’re ready to disconnect from social media and take a break from our fast paced lives, this cottage is the answer. I rated communications with property manager less than 5 stars as we had difficulty reaching Jim and no information was provided ahead of time as to how to get there and the check in process. Since we were traveling via London from the US, this was unsettling. However once we made contact with him, they were extremely...

"We stayed for a week during the Fringe Festival. The cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay at a good price. It is a good base, both for getting into Edinburgh and for exploring the Fife area. There are some beautiful areas on the costal routes."

"Cute warm and cosy with a working fireplace! Lovely walks in the area and driving distance to historical sites. The place was quite clean for a pet friendly stay but there were was a few pee stains from previous doggos."

"Very comfortable cottage we really enjoyed our stay"

"Fantastic stay over Easter. Great location for travelling both south to Edinburgh, north to Perth/Dundee and east to St Andrews. House was ideal for family of 4, quiet location, great parking and local walks along beach."

"An excellent property to rent outside of Edinburgh. Perfect for dogs and families. The cottage was warm and well lit when we arrived and the fireplace was already prepped with a basket full of logs. The manager of the property was very friendly and she came over to introduce herself and check we had everything we needed. Strongly recommend and will be going back."

"Delightful little cottage in the grounds of the estate. Well equipped kitchen for a short stay."

"A quiet apartment but very close to Castle, Grass Market and many of Edinburgh top sites. Shower is a little small but Definitely recommend."

"Cottage beautiful very comfy. Kids loved it. Brought tablets to watch at bedtime as theres wifi.local beaches great for walks. Overall perfect break. Ann McCarry"

"Prima verblijf, goede busconnectie maar het centrum, alleen jammer dat de eettafel in een koude ongezellige aanbouw staat."

"Native was ideal as was close to transport and everything to do in Edinburgh. Great one bedroom apartment. Staff were great and friendly. Restaurant and shops nearby. "

"Wonderful place to stay in Edimburg. Walking distance to fantastic sites."

"I’ve stayed here many times. Always enjoy my stay."
