Book a Auchendinny Cottage

"We live in Edinburgh but had to book somewhere to stay while we were having work done at our house and Sycamore Cottage was perfect for four of us. The bedrooms are really spacious and the kitchen is really well equipped which isn’t always the case in self catering accommodation. We didn’t think we’d need to use the log burner but a typical Scottish spring meant we used it a few nights and there was plenty of logs left for it. Easy to drive into Edinburgh or can get the train from Gorebridge....

"Four of us stayed at Carina and Victor’s cottage over the bank holiday weekend. We were taking part in the Edinburgh marathon festival. They were so accommodating and welcoming upon our arrival, Victor showed us around and was incredibly friendly. The cottage is beautifully designed and furnished - the photos don’t do it justice! There’s a lovely private patio which would be wonderful during summer, unfortunately we had a lot of rain. They had milk in the fridge for us and also some tunnocks...

"Good for family (2 adults, 4 kids). Good location, 30 minute walk or 10-15 minute bus ride to the city centre. Clean apartment, some initial struggle with the front door key ‘technique’ but the video was helpful, could’ve done with a few more kitchen utensils / oven trays for self catering. Overall good, would stay again. "

"What a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage! Peaceful with beautiful accomodations."

"We had a last minute change of plans and I needed to find suitable accommodation for my family of 4. I came across the 'Garden House' in my initial search and compared 5 other similar solutions. None measured up and that was only based on the images. The pictures undersold the property, utterly. The Garden House became a serendipitous highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. The location, setting, layout, preparation, standards, provisions were are excellent. The setting within Oxenford Castle...

"Beautiful property in lovely location. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The dog and children were very well catered for. Would certainly recommend."

"The property exceeded my expectations and was very good value. Everything was there that I needed, and as a result I had a very comfortable stay in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. A rare find and I will be back."

"The weather wasn’t in our favor but it didn’t matter as the cottage was the perfect place to spend a rainy day. The home was far more spacious than the photos conveyed. We had plenty of room for our group of five. With a well fitted out kitchen, a nice supply of board games, and a cozy fire in the wood stove, everyone enjoyed themselves. Hopefully, we will be able to take advantage of the lovely enclosed private garden on a future visit."

"If you are looking for somewhere to recharge your batteries this is the lace to go. The cottage had everything we needed and more. Henrietta provided all the information we needed. We would definitely go back again, we were sad to leave and could have happily stayed for a few more days"

"It was a perfect place for our holiday. Charming cottage with a lot of place. Very well placed, 30 min to edimbourgh, 15 min to the airport."

"We traveled with two kids under four, my spouse, and her parents. The apartment had tons of space and a nice patio as well. This cottage is literally built within the wall of the castle grounds. The very windows you look out to see the ocean and the sheep are built right into the wall. The walk around the property is fantastic. Beautiful rose gardens, herbs everywhere, and more apple trees than you can count. There are many walking trails just outside the castle walls as well. You will...

"Ideal location with charming village area nearby. Easy walk to local pub and to the water. Flat was spacious and well equipped; but could have used a bit more maintenance and some air freshener (near the sea, so a bit of a damp, musty smell). It was a bit farther from central Edinburg (~40 min) than I had expected; but the quaint village feel of the area was well worth the few extra minutes drive. All in all a nice place to support local sight seeing and day trips."

"Great location… beautiful property!"

"We stayed for a week during the Fringe Festival. The cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay at a good price. It is a good base, both for getting into Edinburgh and for exploring the Fife area. There are some beautiful areas on the costal routes."

"Very comfortable cottage we really enjoyed our stay"

"We had a great time in this location, easy short walks to the CoOp to get any items we needed for meals, great location to sites we wanted to see. Absolutely loved this stay. Thank you!"

"A quiet apartment but very close to Castle, Grass Market and many of Edinburgh top sites. Shower is a little small but Definitely recommend."

"Very modern and spacious. Amazing location!"

"Great view from windows. Comfortable beds. Well appointed en-suite but could benefit from hand hold in shower. Also plumbing was very noisy. Very helpful staff and beautiful sitting are on ground floor. Over all a lovely place to stay and very close to historic and interesting places to visit and many good places to eat. "

"Well appointed hotel conveniently located on the Royal Mile. "
