The Keep at Craigiehall

We had a lovely time here although mostly used as a place to sleep rather than enjoy.

Pros: A beautiful little property in a very picturesque location. Some reviews mentioned the small kitchen, it is small but it is perfectly adequate for a small family to prepare meals with plenty of space upstairs to eat and relax. Very comfortable beds and the noise from the airplanes didn't bother us at all.

Cons: Location is remote so would recommend hiring a car or reserve a decent amount for taxi's. We felt that one of the terraces should be reserved exclusively for the property as it's shared with the adjoining property at all times which felt a little uncomfortable, as a result we didn't use them.

A warm and comfortable bolt hole from the crowds

Pros: Position, very comfortable, away from the crowds. The planes didn’t disturb us, the farm shop nearby was excellent

Cons: The kitchen was poorly equipped. More and better cutlery and crockery would be appreciated and it was difficult to cook a meal with the meagre supply of pans etc

Comfortable, relaxed and easy

Pros: We had an absolutely wonderful stay here! The venue was fabulous and spacious with the most stunning views. It was super easy to get to by car and it was situated a 10 minute drive away from a free all day ‘park and ride’ where we easily caught the tram into Edinburgh. It was also right next to such a scenic walking trail along the river. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating which really added to our experience and satisfaction. I would most certainly stay here again!

Cons: Nothing, we had a lovely experience.

Beautiful country setting

Pros: Location (you need a car), lovely gardens, great heating!

Cons: Planes can be loud but earplugs worked

Excellent property

Pros: The property is very well presented, clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and found the location to be excellent. Accessing the property was a simple process and I'll definitely look to stay again for our next trip to the area.

Cons: Nothing, we enjoyed all aspects with the property, booking and checking in/out process.

Great, would absolutely stay there again.

Pros: Off the beaten track Spacious Lovely views Good facilities Comfortable beds Good transport links to get to the airport and city Relatively quiet despite the airport proximity Excellent host support

Cons: Kitchen was a bit too small for that table (but would be perfect for others )

Amazing accomadation would definitely use again if come back to Edinburgh

Pros: location & having a communal area much better than 2 hotel rooms in th ecity which would of been more exoensive

Very kind owner made our stay even more relaxing. Great spot!

Pros: The reviews are all excellent so I won't repeat what is already written. I'll just add that I asked for the kitchen to be extra clean for my celiac son, and I very much appreciated the owner's effort to remove bread crumbs and even the toaster for us. He also kindly let us use the newly installed dryer in the garage to get our laundry ready for our next stop. A wonderful place to stay, close enough to the city but far enough to be able to relax.

We called it “our little castle stay” :)

Pros: Beautiful property! Comfortable, well located if you don’t mind or prefer being out of the city center, spacious, equipped with everything you may need. Great tips from the host (nearby restaurants for example) can be found there. Even the road to the entrance looks magical! Be aware that there may be other guests next door (this didn’t bother us, but it’s good to know!).

Cons: A bit noisy because of the airport, but isolation is good! Opening the windows for fresh air may imply in inviting some spiders or bugs in, so do it carefully if you are scared like me (I would recommend the addition of some nets in a few windows because of that). There was no hair dryer provided at the time of our stay.

A little upgrade on equipment etc and this place would be absolutely fabulous

Pros: The keep was unusual with living room being upstairs and bedrooms and kitchen downstairs. It was quite private and in it's own grounds and the rooms and building were a good size and plenty of space to park my car. Plenty of comfortable seating in the living room and a good size tv and numerous balcony's to sit on if so inclined. Lovely decor and flooring Directions and entry instructions were really good.

Cons: It was good to have a table and chairs in the kitchen but it made it a bit cramped so nobody able to sit there whilst someone cooking. The grill pan hadn't been cleaned and the pans felt greasy and were poor quality and the grill took a long time to heat up. Towels were good quality but not so much the bed covers. Plugs by bed but nowhere to do hair and make up with socket handy for dryer/tongs
