Nice stay
Nice cottage in a quiet neighborhood a short drive from Edinburgh. The cottage is next to the owner’s house. There were two deliveries that came to ours instead of the main house and some workers at the main house. Because the bedroom looks out onto the driveway and main house it was not as secluded as I thought. But it was mostly quiet and there is a small private garden in the back. There was easy access to Rosslyn Chapel and other hikes and a nearby pub. We enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Cottage outside of Edinburgh
My friends (3) and I were wonderfully surprised by this stay. Hosts were beyond helpful, and fast to respond. Beautiful property and cozy atmosphere. The cottage is well organized and EXTREMELY clean. One of the best places I have stayed in. It is easy to get into Edinburgh but does take 45 minutes by one bus. Overall a wonderful experience and a great place to stay if you are making a trip to Edinburgh and area. Definitely would stay here again!

Wonderful stay for Edi Marathon
Four of us stayed at Carina and Victor’s cottage over the bank holiday weekend. We were taking part in the Edinburgh marathon festival. They were so accommodating and welcoming upon our arrival, Victor showed us around and was incredibly friendly. The cottage is beautifully designed and furnished - the photos don’t do it justice! There’s a lovely private patio which would be wonderful during summer, unfortunately we had a lot of rain. They had milk in the fridge for us and also some tunnocks teacakes which was lovely. The bedroom was comfortable and spacious for two and then the sofa becomes a flatbed in the living area - it is on the smaller side but still fine for two adults. There is a direct bus a ten min walk away into the city and Ubers for early morning departures for the races were also reliable. We would definitely recommend their cottage as a place to stay particularly if you want to explore the outskirts of the city and be in some nature! Many thanks to Carina & Victor!

Easter holiday in Edinburgh area
While traveling with our 15 year old son we stayed the weekend in this lovely cottage on the property of Victor an Carina just south of Edinburgh. The hosts are showed wonderful hospitality and the cottage is comfortably set up to sleep three (or four). Great attention to details of all we needed for a comfortable stay including notes for outings in the area and for getting to Edinburgh by bus or train. We definitely want to return to this beautiful cottage with wonderful hosts.

Kitchen Garden Cottage
Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was quaint and comfortable, beautifully situated, far enough away for peace and quiet yet close enough to enjoy the Fringe Festival and all that Edinburgh has to offer. We also enjoyed nice hiking locally through historic Lasswade. The hosts own top notch restaurants in Edinburgh which ought to be enjoyed while there. We found public transit to be quite good, though coming home late at night required a little extra effort. Next time we’re in Edinburgh, we’ll definitely check on the availability of Victor and Carina’s cottage.

Adorable cottage near Edinburgh
This little cottage is even better than the photos. We so enjoyed the nature walks right from the cottage, including to Rosslyn Chapel through sun dappled forest and sheep fields. It was an easy 15 minute drive to Edinburgh to see all the sights there. The owners are wonderful! We would definitely recommend this cottage.

Spring Break University Visit
This property is an excellent choice when visiting Edinburgh. It is a beautiful, quiet location from which there is easy access into the city center. You can enjoy the local foot and bridle paths along the River Eskbank. There is a local stables in Lasswade where you can ride or take a short drive to Seacliff Stables and ride on the beach. Roslyn Chapel is a nearby destination to visit. There is falconry at nearby Dolhousie Castle. And the cottage is a great place to spend time after a day in Edinburgh. We will definitely be back if my daughter chooses to study at the university. The site is perfect if you like a location for both the city and the countryside.

A Lovely Stay in Lasswade
Carina and Victor's "kitchen garden cottage" in Lasswade is absolutely lovely and provided a perfect respite to the joyful hustle and bustle the Fringe Feste brought to Edinburgh during our stay. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well appointed and the grounds are charming and restorative. Both Victor and Carina could not have been more welcoming and hospitable. A pleasant surprise was Lasswade and the surrounding areas. There are 3 good restaurant options within walking distance and some nice natural walks just down the winding road from the cottage. There is also a bus stop a short walk from the cottage and the drive to Edinburgh and the airport from the cottage is easy. We were lucky enough to have a day to drive the North Sea coast, less than an hour from the cottage, and we highly recommend this for the scenery and the fresh seafood. Thanks for such a great stay!
