    The cottage was located in a lovely country setting and was very well appointed. The host is very close by and responsive. A guide provided information on all of the local amenities needed. Our stay was cut short by a day due to airline delays, so we were unable to explore the property as we had hoped. Very quiet and quaint. The stairs up to the sleeping quarters and only bathroom were not ideal for my 76yo mom, but we managed to minimize her trips.

    Love the surroundings

    Stayed here at Arniston many timesx. All the cottages are of a high standard. Beds are super comfy and cosy The kitchen has everything you need although we tend to ear out most of time. We love it here for walking the dogs most other dog owners staying here are respectful. There is lots to do from Arniston and only a short drive to Edinburgh however reccomend park and ride or jump on train at Gorebridge/ Newtongrange .

    Sycamore Cottage stay August 2024

    Our family had a wonderful stay at Sycamore Cottage. It was a fairly last minute booking but we feel that we found a gem! The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and cosy and had everything we needed. The information we received before our stay was great with details of transport links, pubs, restaurants and take ways as well as ideas for days out. We will definitely be back!

    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.
