On the plus side the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was good, however the description of the accommodation on TripAdvisor and other websites is inaccurate and misleading. …

What an excellent peaceful hidden gem. The rooms were excellent and we made the most of the courtyard. If you like walking, come equipped. There is plenty to see.Nicola and Ben were excellent hosts who really couldn't have done more.Good place to stay if you don't want to be in the centre of Edinburgh, but still get to it within a few minutes by car or public transport.

We visited at the end of summer and had a great stay here. The hosts were lovely and the room was great and very comfortable. The house is in a beautiful setting. If you'd like somewhere to escape the bustle of Edinburgh but still be close by, this is the perfect place!
