This cottage is amazing. It ticked every box. We had one little problem with the drains: 1 phone call and someone came round within the hour and sorted it. That really is a good service

There are a variety of natural features, including rose gardens and a lily pond, and you can often see free-roaming wildlife. The building still retains charming old staircases, fireplaces, and stained-glass windows.

The experience of staying at this gorgeous mansion plenty of history it's outstanding from beginning to end. You can feel it since you arrive there by the great tree avenue, surrounded by stunning gardens and forest. The principal rooms at the house are all fantastic (wich I liked the most was the library) all in a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere in every moment of the day. We stayed at the Princess Margaret Suite, I have no words to describe it, simply incredible, I felt like a queen for a day! Two king size bedrooms, a marble fireplace, leather sofas and dining area. Brigth, sunny and with the best views to the fountain gardens. The bathroom was also great, with shower, bath, two sinks and Noble Isle products. Dinner at the Bistro restaurant was fantastic too, even we met a charming waiter who speaks spanish perfectly! All the staff is really friendly and proffessional. Congratulations! Would have loved to stay one more night.

    The tower public areas were traditional and very comfortable with cozy sitting spaces, a grand staircase and an amazing library room. Delightful Christmas decorations in all spaces. Good location and close to the city of Edinburg. Staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming but overloaded due to a wedding event. Excellent, plentiful breakfast.

    3 rooms were clean and comfortable, but our room (3) had a terrible smell in the bathroom, most likely drains. Bistro was OK, nothing special, over priced for what we got. Bar was cosy and welcoming but again rather pricey for drinks.

    The cottage is twee however I was expecting that, its charming and in keeping with the period of the property. The garden is indeed beautiful and being in time for the tulips was an extra bonus. Great location for exploring Edinburgh and East Lothian.
