The cottage felt very homely and was spotlessly clean with a very wide range of facilities. The location is also ideal within easy reach of Edinburgh and coastal areas with a shop next door, an excellent play park for the kids just across the road and a tasty Indian restaurant a few doors down. Welcome treats were an extra touch of class from our hosts who have been exceptionally helpful. Highly recommended and I'm sure we will be back.
