Cozy, comfortable cottage in a peaceful country setting
What a lovely stay at Chestnut Cottage! We had more space than we needed and communication with our host, Henrietta, was quick and informative! We would love to visit again for another stay where we scheduled time to enjoy the beautiful grounds and a tour of the Arniston House. Highly recommend Chestnut Cottage (or any of the cottages at Arniston House)! Great host, great accommodations, beautiful country setting while close to mass transit and highways. Absolute perfect spot!

Great cottage in a convenient and peaceful location.
The cottage is clean and well equipped, all the appliances and fixtures work well. We found the location worked well for the trips we wanted to make in and around Edinburgh while it also provided us with a peaceful retreat away from crowds in the cities and towns.
