Simply wonderful!
Absolutely fantastic 3 week stay for myself, my husband and our 3 year old. Property is excellent. Spacious yet cosy! Setting is incredible. An oasis of calm away from the busy city centre, but still within easy reach. Our little boy loved exploring the grounds. Goats, pigs, donkey, horses and chickens. And muddy puddles for splashing in. He had a ball! Host's were so helpful and very friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. 10/10. Thank you!

Relaxing and friendly environment.
2 adults & 2 young children travelled from Wales to stay at the house for the New year. We enjoyed the stay it was like home from home. The children enjoyed visiting the donkeys every morning and collecting food for the pigs. Edinburgh was 20 min drive (highly recommend the events for new year) visited castle & Cramond island. We will be visiting again :)

Beautiful family friendly holiday house
The house is beautiful and a lot bigger than we expected/perceived from the photos. We were worried about staying away over christmas with our two young children (2 & 4), but we needn't have worried, as the house had been beautifully decorated for Christmas. With a large real Christmas tree in the living room and additional Christmas decorations in the second bedroom. Our stay was very relaxing and quiet in the remote location, but comforting knowing that the owners were close by if we needed anything. We had some lovely days out, visiting the Christmas markets in Edinburgh, which were definitely worth the visit, and the Glasgow science centre, which all 4 of us loved, especially the kids. For families with young children we would definitely recommend it, however we were surprised when we arrived that there were stairs (only 5) in the hallway between the kitchen and the bedroom. For us this was not an issue, as we brought with us a barrier stair gate (over 92cm) to stop the children charging up and down the stairs. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely come back again. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.

Lovely retreat from huzzle and buzzle
Helen`s and Jamie`s historic mansion is just beautiful ! It`s a bit off from Edinburgh city but can be reached easily by car or bus. However, we recommend to hire a car since it allows more flexibility. The rooms are spacious and are perfect for 4 persons. The new bath is also spacious and nicely decorated. A fireplace gives a touch of a romantic holiday ! Fully recommended & very nice proprietors !
