Beautiful countryside cottage

Comfortable cottage with roaring wood stove. We were surprised by a morning of snow which added to the beauty. Kim, our host was the best, helping us when needed, even suppling candles at last minute when a predicted windstorm threatened power outage which luckily never came.

Wonderful Retreat

Lovely old stone cottage with everything you need to be comfortable away from home. Clear instructions, cozy living space and Henrietta is absolutely delightful and very responsive. The estate is beautiful to walk on, very peaceful, rural setting, but super easy to get into Edinburgh on the train. Delicious local restaurants.

3rd Stay - Love Arniston Cottages

The location is perfect - so quiet. Henrietta is the perfect host and her staff are friendly and very helpful. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need. My cousin and his wife came for lunch and were very impressed. They are considering having a break stay there. My only complaint was the mattress was hard.

Edinburgh vacay

Henrietta was a fabulous host! Very convenient location. Little downtown village 1-2 miles away was excellent to grab coffee or full breakfast before heading to royal mile or coffee take away for the road. Property was gorgeous. Accommodations were clean and homey, had everything we needed. Little hot water glitch was resolved immediately upon notifying Henrietta. She was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Would definitely stay again in the future.

We had such a lovely 4 night stay here, very peaceful and quiet. Very spacious for 2 people and 2 dogs and had everything we could possibly need. Fire was pre prepared for getting there and the host was very contactable. Even has 2 pet pigs around the corner you can feed :) would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous!!

Beautiful location, gorgeous cottage, and lots of support from owners! Ideal for short stay to recharge in amongst the birdsong and do nothing, a family base to tour the region or any combination. We would go back in an heartbeat!!
