With this Buckstone cottage, you get the best of both worlds. Edinburgh city centre and all its landmarks are only a twenty-minute drive away, but you'll have excellent walks, the Seven Hills viewpoint, and leafy parks practically on your doorstep. Better still, a private front garden here will surely be a hit when the sun is out. It's the perfect spot to wind down in the evenings, though the light-filled living area is also a fine place to relax. The bedrooms are a little snug, but we think it does the job for a laid-back stay on the outskirts of the city.

Home truths
One bed is situated in a built-in alcove. It's quite high off the ground, but there is a step stool to reach it. We think it may be a squeeze for two adults.
One on-site parking space is provided in front of the cottage gates.
You'll have a private front garden here, but the back garden is inaccessible to guests.
There's a noise detection device here. Your host asks that you keep noise to a minimum between 10pm and 9am out of respect for the neighbours.
