Beautiful cottage and surroundings close to Edinburgh
We loved our stay, and were even a little surprised at just how good everything was! Although Ratho is close to the suburbs of Edinburgh, it feels very much like being in the middle of the country when you arrive. The cottage is set in 20 acres of lovely woodland, and the grounds are full of trees and nature. We watched birds, squirrels, highland cows and the resident Shetland pony and donkey from the house. The house itself is extremely well appointed, was so warm and cosy, the beds and facilities were exceptional. It also felt very homely though, and not all holiday cottages do, so kudos to the owners for that. The rooms were surprisingly spacious. It is also really well soundproofed. We loved being able to walk to the local pub (dog friendly) and onto the canal paths in the village, as well as around the grounds. To get into Edinburgh was really easy, we took the local park and ride (about ten minute drive from the house at Ingliston), then the tram right into the centre. Took the dogs in the tram at no extra cost (£3.80 return for an adult, bargain). The only slight fly in the ointment was finding the cottage first - my Garmin satnav wanted to take me onto the canal path! Owner did warn this could happen with some satnavs, so possibly What3words would be helpful. Had a wonderful stay and loved every moment.
