Stunning 1 Bedroom home in Elie
fantastic stay away for my partners 40th Birthday celebrations. Very cosy and tucked away with breathtaking views of Elie. Fiona was a great host. We shall be back in the near future.

Gorgeous country apartment w/ hot tub & log burner
We were looking for a total peaceful break, clear instructions on how to use amenities, hot tub was really clean and really warm so enjoyed hours relaxing in it! Thank you Ainslie ❤️

Ashknowe Log Cabin - S4590
just got home after spending 4 relaxing nights at the log cabin. Beautiful location so peaceful and tranquil. Hazel left a lovely welcome package which was much appreciated! Hot tub was fab to relax in and lovely and private as was the Sauna. Bed was very comfy and plenty of space in the whole cottage. The shower was amazing so powerful. if you book to stay here you will not be disappointed will definitely go back again!

Luxury one-bedroom farm cottage with ocean views.
Beautiful cottage in a stunning location in the Fife countryside, with fantastic views over the Forth river. We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay. Will hopefully be back sometime. Thankyou.

Cottage with optional extra of wood fired hot tub
Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

Pentland Hills cottage hideaway
Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
We had an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

Appletree Cottage, Williamscraig, Linlithgow
We had a lovely few days, staying at Appletree Cottage, with our two grandchildren aged 6 and 3. The cottage was very comfy and well equipped, and ideally suited our needs. Good location for many attractions such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We were lucky to have good weather so the excellent play area and hot tub were much enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend booking.

Beautifully Renovated (Self-Contained) Cottage
We spent a lovely couple of nights at The Bothy. Beautifully done out with everything you need! We enjoyed the cosy log burner and appreciated more logs being supplied by Gillian on the second day. Would highly recommend, great peaceful location with access to lots of lovely surrounding villages and towns of East Lothian.

Sylvan Orchard - family/ golfing friends retreat
Great place for us as usual - ideal for golf and food. Thanks Andrew

Pondfield Cottage, Gifford
We’re a group of 5 adults and 2 cocker spaniels and have just returned from a lovely short stay at Pondfield Cottage, Gifford. The cottage was immaculately clean with 3 large double bedrooms and a lovely enclosed garden for the dogs to play in. The lounge was comfortable and cosy with a wood burning stove and a selection of DVDs, books and board games. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need with some lovely little unexpected touches like a spice rack. The location of the cottage is next door to an equine centre and horses are regularly walked past the house which was lovely to see. One small issue we experienced was resolved immediately, even though it was Easter Sunday, which demonstrated exceptional service from the owner. We would certainly recommend this property.

Westwood Cottage
Great place, great hosts. Thank you

North Berwick cottage close to beach & High Street
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old abbey road. Clean and cosy cottage. Super comfy beds! Great shower. Excellent location for all NB has to offer. We lucked out with the weather and great fun at New Year’s Day Loony Dook! Coffee at Zanzibar highly recommended and we had lovely food at the Herringbone and Nether Abbey hotel. Many thanks

The Muckle Snug @ East Lothian Cottages
All the previous positive reviews are true, had a very lovely stay with an enclosed backyard for pets. Very communicative throughout and checked up in person.

Tranquil cottage with spectacular sea views
We had such a lovely stay in Norman and Maja's cottage - the scenery was stunning, such an amazing view from the cottage! Great woodland walks around the cottage itself and only a short drive from several beaches and local sights. The cottage itself was as described, it had everything we could've needed and everything was exceptionally clean and well organised - and we loved the rustic aesthetic. We particularly enjoyed being able to fire up the log burner on a slightly cooler evening. The hosts were really helpful and responsive, including on our day of arrival, and they provided clear instructions for the property - and their recommendations of things to do and where to eat locally were fab! We've said that we will definitely be back to stay again, thank you

Phantassie Cottage, East Linton
We had a great stay at Lorna’s cottage. It’s well located near to the town with some pubs and cafes. There’s beautiful walks and attractions nearby and it’s really easy to get to from the train station. We would love to stay again!

Borthwick Castle View, relax around the log burner
Emmie was commutative and helpful to accommodate our changes in arrival and departure times. Found a way to help and the accommodation was clean and ready for us. The accommodation is extremely well situated and has a relaxed feel

Borthwick Farm Cottage Annex
We have booked this a few times for one of our technicians who works locally. He loves it here, would recommend to anyone! Will definitely be booking this in the future.

Abbeymill Farm Cottage
So glad we managed to come back for another short break. Cottage is so atmospheric, extremely comfortable and in an idyllic spot. So peaceful and relaxing. Yet, just a short drive to Haddington and easy to get into Edinburgh by car, bus or train. Highly recommend Ozy’s Kitchen in Haddington for breakfast/lunch - friendly staff and great food. Cannot recommend the cottage highly enough. Stay there if you can!

Garden Cottage
Spent a week in Eileen’s beautiful Garden Cottage in March. Perfect location in centre of Haddington so I was 10 mins away from my parents, yet it was quiet and peacefully located down a leafy lane with no passing traffic. Easy parking. Easy to find, excellent directions. Cottage is really nicely decorated and very comfortable. Really appreciated having plenty of large fluffy bathroom towels, good quality toiletries, lovely hot shower and plenty of coffee making equipment! Kitchen well equipped. All in all an excellent little hidey hole for two people and we’ll definitely be back.

Charming seafront beach cottage with patio garden
A lovely snug and comfortable cottage in an idyllic location. Perfect for exploring the village and the surrounding coastline.

Over Hailes Holiday Cottages - The Stables
We enjoyed having lots of space for a family weekend away. The setting was peaceful but handy to drive to places. Kitchen had everything we needed and it was cosy and comfortable . We would happily return .

Traditional 2 bedroom cottage, sea view & parking
This was our third stay at The Wee Hoose, and it was as wonderful as ever. Centrally located and just the right size for our family of four. Clean, quiet, and equipped with everything we could need for our self-catering holiday. The perfect home away from home. We also really appreciated the insider-tips for our kids, about the Easter trail and the new playground. It’s this thoughtfulness that sets The Wee Hoose apart. Would not hesitate to visit again.
