The cottage was outstanding, views were great & we loved being so near a farm with sheep & deer. My nephew loved the play room & the toys & games too! Great kitchen and very comfortable living space. Highly recommended!!! ##### Lisa P.

The original old cottage has been lovingly restored and furnished. The area is wonderfully quiet and secluded with lots of wildlife all around. We liked it very much and didn't want for anything. Edinburgh is easy to reach by train from Gorebridge. Traveling by car is recommended. ##### Julia B.

Remote, but idyllic location. The cottage will not disappoint.Cosy due to highly effective heating and lovely blankets to snuggle. Comfortable due to the quality of furniture and bedding. Large enclosed garden and conservatory where our three Labradors could play and sleep. Lots of places to walk, but we chose the drive for simplicity...and for the stunning view of the reservoir. Kitchen is well equipped and has whatever you need for simple meals. Will definitely return! ##### richard m. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Megan K. 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cute, but very secluded The property is very cute! It is more secluded than I realized it would be (which is on me for not doing my research). The road to get to the house is a little rough in some areas, especially if you’re in a smaller sedan. The shower also did not drain well. But overall great views and very quiet if you’re looking for something relaxing! ##### Megan K.
