Good location
Interior of house was modern and a good fit for our family of 6. Kids enjoyed exploring the grounds and area around Arniston house. Few minutes our of town so close enough if you for needs in town but a very good country feel. Good communication even as plans changed due to airline issues.

Quintessential Scottish Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gardner's House on the Armiston House Estate. The history of this house/estate is incredible. A few "quirks" just added to the personality of the home which was very comfortable. Watching the sheep graze in the pasture outside the kitchen, exploring the acres of the private estate and the stream which runs just behind the "cottage." Henrietta was lovely and stopped in to make sure everything was to our liking. Location within 1.5 miles of train station was perfect (free parking a bonus). Had we stayed longer, we would have taken greater advantage of the train and gone back into Edinburgh. 1 1/2 hours to St. Andrews. Having a washing machine was a bonus and the drying rack worked out beautifully. Would love to return and would highly recommend to anyone looking for something outside of the hustle of the city.

Un hébergement unique. Au calme. Dans un site merveilleux. La communication est très bonne. Petit bémol. La trace laissée par de petits rongeurs qui se sont promenés sur le lit lors de la journée.
