Sycamore Cottage - a traditional 2 bedroom stone cottage within the grounds of Arniston House

great host. nice and quiet. ample parking

The cottage is quirky and very old but cosy and quaint, the lounge comfortably accommodated four of us. Parking is outside the cottage. The only downside for us was the hot water only worked if you lit the woodburner which would have been too hot inside for weather we had. There was a water heater but the water was still cold. The kitchen is well equipped and the two bedrooms are large and comfortable. The bathroom was also a really good size with a good electric shower over the bath, so if you have older guests with you this needs to be considered. The location is superb for all amenities and attractions (Avoid the Greenhall food bar although it’s listed is the welcome guide, the chippy part of this place is truly horrible. All four of us threw the food away). The grounds are beautiful and the walks are peaceful and a joy, especially as it was lambing season so the babies were all bleeting. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it anyone.

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.

Amazing place, remote and easy to reach Edinburgh. Fireplace in the evening with the glass of wine is magical. Although windy and cold outside it was cosy inside. Host is amazing, great communication.
