Would rather stay outside of the City, this is a great place to stay. Everything you could wish for. Very peaceful and beautiful location. We have stayed in the cottages on the estate and they are really cosy just what you would like a cottage to be. Gardener's House is set away from these and is a bit grander, but just as cosy. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron R., Des Moines 12 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location Interior of house was modern and a good fit for our family of 6\.

Lovely getaway with family and friends during October holidays at this charming little gem. Sitting on the beautiful grounds of the Arniston Estate, away from hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the city of Edinburgh (we commuted by car). Accommodation itself was very spacious and had everything needed. Enjoyed the views of walled garden while having our breakfast each morning. Communication with the host before the arrival and during our stay was excellent. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant and memorable. ##### Monika G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Terra A. 1 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short holiday stay I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gardner’s House!! Henrietta is a host that goes above and beyond for her guests. This was our first trip to Scotland to visit our son studying nearby, so it was a chilly time! The house was cozy and we loved playing cards by the fire in the parlor room. The grounds looked beautiful… we hope to come back when it is warm and we can explore! I highly recommend this vacation home for families. The 4 of us slept comfortably and there would be room for two more as there are 3 bedrooms. Thank you Henrietta and staff for making us feel so welcome! ##### Terra A.

The location was convenient to Edinburgh and was a destination on its own. We hiked through the Estate to nearby Temple and enjoyed the forest, sunken gardens and waterfalls. The house was everything we needed for a family of 6\. Thank you Henrietta for your hospitality. ##### J. Mark J.

Gardener’s cottage was truly lovely. We were only 2 people, but didn’t feel like we were rattling around in the place. It was genuinely like staying in a home from home: Heating was just right, WiFi was great, modern TV worked well, the kitchen was a lovely place just to have a coffee at the table and watch the world go by. Because you’re right next to the big house, the drive to and from the cottage is very grand and never fails to make you aware of where you are - in God’s country. Fabulous place. The one thing I would also add is that the owner (Henrietta) has the right balance in “Here if you need me” - information sent before, during and after your stay was timely, clear and concise. Can’t recommend highly enough. ##### chris p. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trevor M. 5 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Idyllic cottage on a beautiful property.
