The Gate House - 3 Bed & Parking

It’s a very good accommodation that can satisfy all the needs. Outdoors activities and city centre visits.

Pros: Location was great! Nice facilities overall and we enjoyed the quiet. Good layout throughout the house.

Cons: It could have been a bit more clean.

Pros: A great location, pet friendly🤍 A warm and clean house The train and bus are close and we arrived at the Christmas market relatively quickly

Cosy clean house with beautiful view

Pros: We’ve stayed at the lovely cosy house, we liked the cleanliness, warmth and provided facilities, everything was perfect

Cons: None

Beautiful property in a great location.

Pros: The location in the village is excellent, just a short walk to the shop and pub. It was down a cul de sac and so was very quiet and peaceful. There was cereal, coffee, sugar and condiments provided. The property is beautiful.

Cons: I feel a more expensive property like this one should provide teabags and coffee pods for the coffee machine. It is a little touch that would make a more comfortable visit.

A peaceful and great stay in a beautiful gate house property, all the facilities of home.

Pros: The Gate House is an ideal place to stay for either a stay before or after a visit to Edinburgh. The house is delightful and provides great accommodation for a group, family or a couple. The location is great, with ample parking, and open countryside to the rear. Overall a lovely place to stay and relax.

A beautiful Scottish house in a charming village near Edinburgh.

Pros: A beautiful Scottish house in a charming village, only about 30 minutes by bus from Edinburgh. The location is very quiet – a perfect retreat after a busy day at the Festival, away from the crowds and noise. There’s a good shop and a local pub (drinks only, no food) just a short walk away. The kitchen is well equipped, which makes self-catering easy. The host was very friendly and welcoming.

Lovely location, exceptional standard and excellent hosts

Pros: The Gate Lodge was an absolute dream. Plenty of information from our super helpful hosts before we stayed. The lodge is finished to perfection, clean, tidy and peaceful - we had a lovely stay.

Lovely place to go back to Edinburgh, without the hectic life of the city centre.

Pros: Extremely well located (20 minutes only from Edinburgh City Centre, calm neighbourhood, well located to go around Edinburgh. Really a nice place. Plenty of possibilities to walk the dog, or let him/her play with the neighbour's.

Cons: Price goes up high during peak tourist season, but that's the rule of the game. You just have to mind that ther is an open passage aside from the metal gate, so you should keep your dog on a lead or keep an eye on him/her.

Quiet home-from-home close to nature, amenities and transport links

Pros: The Gate House is a very attractively extended historic cottage in a peaceful location at the edge of parkland. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped with a corner shop a very short walk away to stock up on groceries. There are pleasant views and a number of open-access footpath routes across the parkland nearby. A helpful neighbour is just across the courtyard to offer help and advice with any aspects you don't understand.

Cons: Sadly the blind cord in the upstairs double bedroom was broken, meaning that the blind could not be fully opened to light/ventilate the room. There is a bench, table and chairs outside to provide a potentially pleasant outdoor eating and drinks area, although this was very weedy and littered with cigarette ends when I arrived. A quick litter pick and weeding session, and clean of the table-top and this was ready for use - however not all vistors may be as ready to get the Marigolds on themselves to do this. This is a pity as I am sure there must be local people nearby who would be pleased to work as an occasional gardener.

Perfect, Serene, Memorable

Pros: The property was so lovely and spacious, it was in an absolutely serene area and I highly recommend going to see the highland cows. I brought my dog along so it was important it was pet friendly and I honestly believe he prefers the gate house to home now.

Cons: Nothing, the property was perfect for a group of people (there was 3 of us) and I fully intend to visit again next year with a more friends
