Convenient for what we had in mind re visiting relatives in the area. Also convenient train service to Edinburgh. The estate grounds are lovely (mid-Sept). Gentle if manicured walks and pleasing views of.the Pentland Hills. ##### David E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan N. 6 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely break The cottage was perfect for our stay, safe location for our children, near railway station.

We would definitely stay here again. ##### Katherine K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good 14 Oct 2025 #### A comfortable stay Contact and info provided by Arniston Estate prior to arrival was first class. The cottage (Lime) was comfortable for two people, although it sleeps 4 there is only enough room at dining table for two and only two chairs provided. This was perfect for us. Wifi was strong with no drop outs. Log burner was great. The walks around the grounds were great some amazing looking trees in the sunken garden straight out of lord of the rings by the looks of it. Enjoyed watching the bats flying in and out of the eaves of the cottage. Nothing bad to say. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sacha 2 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Delightful little cottage in the grounds of the estate.

It’s in a lovely location and is very convenient for us visiting family in the area. The cottages have many traditional features which are lovely albeit some are looking a little bit tired, however, excellent value for money. ##### Caroline B.

Ideal location for Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Arniston cottages are well equipped with everything you need from good quality linen to a well equipped kitchen. Henrietta and her staff are friendly with quick response to all correspondence. These cottages truly are perfect ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy S. 4 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorebridge Lovely place and nice and quiet to get a good nights sleep. It was perfect for the 3 of us as we were really using it to sleep as we travelled into Edinburgh which was quite close, only 30 minutes by train and the drive into town was quick to get to the train. Well located in that regard. Thank you!!! ##### Tracy S.

The location for us is perfect with family close by. The cottage is so comfortable and cosy and dog friendly! The grounds are amazing even in the rain! We did the tour of Arniston House and it was fantastic! The owner and Anne weee excellent and really made the whole tour more personal! Henrietta was so very helpful and on hand anytime. We will most definitely be coming back here in the future we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Again, overall an excellent stay with great value for money and beautiful grounds to explore. Lime cottage benefits from the ground floor ensuite bedroom, which suited the wife and I perfectly. Cozy nights with a fire in the living room and ability to prepare our own breakfast/dinner at our time of choice. As long as you have a car this makes a great base to explore the region and if you don't like navigating the traffic in downtown Edinburgh, just park at either Gorebridge, Newton Grange or Eskbank train stations and hop on the Borders train to Waverly station downtown. All in all a very peaceful stay in a quaint restored stone cottage. We will be back. ##### Jonathan L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARK S. 2 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Country Cottage I was looking for a quiet country cottage near Edinburgh that would give us an opportunity to explore Lothian and the Borderlands - and we found it! Our two room place had a quaint, old world feel but was full of modern conveniences and hospitality. It was great to have a large kitchen, a living-dining area and two bedrooms, one upstairs, one down with the option of a hot bath upstairs. The location is very quiet and calm, 1 mile off the main roadways into Gorebridge. We used this comfortable base to launch into several fun day excursions to the Scottish coast and fascinating local attractions. Henrietta dropped by on our first night to check to see if all was as expect; I appreciated the caring touch from her. ##### MARK S.

From booking to the actual stay- communication was fab. Lights were even kindly left on for us due to a late arrival so that we didn’t stumble in the dark.

We were able to walk our dog around the grounds (she says lots of exciting sniffs - highly recommend!) and enjoy the huge old trees that are all over the estate. Henrietta the owner didn't intrude but was always happy to help if we had a question. Edinburgh is a short drive or train ride away (but do bring a car as the location is very rural - part of the charm), so you can really mix town and country. It is also easy to get to the Scottish Borders and visit the castles and abbeys dotted around. ##### Caroline C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa B. 6 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cottage Beautiful cottage in stunning surroundings.
