Claire
It was immaculately clean and well equipped. The main bedroom has the most enormous comfortable bed with beautiful linen. The welcome pack and flowers was a lovely surprise. It is well situated for easy access to beaches, Ediburgh and the fabulous Kelpies. We only found one minor negative and that was that the wi-fi was a bit hit and miss and kept dropping out. Would definately come back here.

Had everything we needed. A good location for all the many local attractions eg Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth coastline.

It could do with a full length mirror and a music player/smart speaker/radio. Overall itâs a 4* accommodation.
