Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. . Rear patio with bistro set. On road parking. No smoking.. You’d never believe this property was located on the outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. Cramond is one of those hidden secrets which offers a peaceful waterside setting on the banks of the Forth Estuary and is less than 5 miles from the hustle and bustle of the excitement and wonder of Scotland’s capital city.
This fabulous cottage oozes charm and has the most amazing harbour view to the rear. More importantly, it has been fitted and equipped with the guest experience at heart. The two bedrooms will sleep four people comfortably in a double and twin bedroom. The living room has a spacious feel, a living gas flame fireplace and comfy furniture making it the ideal place to retire after a day’s exploring the walks along the riverside or the city centre. The kitchen/dining room has everything needed to prepare and enjoy meals whatever the occasion and at the end of the day the dishwasher will take the strain out of the chores – no need to fight over who washes and who dries up. The shower room has been updated to high standards with a walk in shower and quality sanitaryware.
Within Cramond Village you’ll be pleased to find a pub just a 2 minute walk away, bistro at the bottom of the steps next to the cottage, there is also the local café a short walk along the shore front, passing some of the small yet quiet beaches which the kids (and probably the adults too) will love. The historic church is a stone throw away. Local shops and supermarkets, fast food restaurants and the post office are available 1 mile away in both Davidsons Mains and Barnton, and as we mentioned, Edinburgh city centre is easily reached by car, taxi or bus, whether it’s shopping, visiting attractions like the castle or simply enjoying the scenery, bars cafés and restaurants, the city has it all. Beach 100 yards.

We really loved Quay Cottage, it was bigger than expected & the views from the window are lovely. A lovely idyllic peaceful cottage. The bus into Edinburgh is at the end of the road & that was perfect for getting into the city & seeing all the sights. Would definitely recommend & will definitely be staying again. We also really appreciated milk in the fridge for when we arrived so we could have a cuppa after a long journey.

Perfect getaway. Location - The cottage has amazing views over the harbour and is virtually on Cramond Beach. We managed to get parked outside the property one day but there is a free car park opposite so not a deal breaker. The cottage itself was well maintained. Spotlessly clean and it’s the first cottage out of many we’ve stayed at that had an equipped kitchen as in tea, coffee, salt, pepper, oil etc. Cramond beach itself is lovely and as well as walking along the path we walked over to the island. Overall a perfect stay. Would we stay again yes……however because of the area we would like to bring our dog which means we couldn’t book this cottage. But for a dog free holiday it would certainly be our first choice.
