    The beds are quite small—not meant for two people who are not a couple or aren’t comfortable sleeping squished together.

    Very cute and clean. Parking was very accessible. Had everything we needed.

    Wish it was normal induction/gas oven instead of induction hob.

    THE place to stay in Edinburgh

    The apartment was more than amazing: from its location to its amenities, its the perfect base to explore Edinburgh in all its glory. The Cottage offers both a washing machine as well as a full-functioning kitchen. It is only a 3-minute walk away from the shore, which itself offers both amazing (seafood) restaurants, as well as an amazing view. Overall, I will be more than happy to once again stay there in the future

    Great location near public transport! Property has recently been renovated so even though it’s an old fisherman’s cottage it really is beautiful inside.

    I don't think this warrants deducting points from our stay; The original door on the outside only opened on the left half. This could be an issue for some. We didn't have a problem with it. But would have been slightly better if it was able to open on both sides. (Maybe it could, but we didn't want to force it.)

    Was very happy with the place. It was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. It had everything that we needed. It is situated near restaurants (like Rishi's next door, which was lovely) and the tram. We had an easy time getting to and from the airport and the city centre. Staying on this side of town also let us more easily explore this area and its surrounds which was well worth it. I would stay here again and would recommend it.

    Not being able to open windows in evening as bedrooms are street level… ( security issue)could be a tad stuffy but we turned the heating down which helped.

    The location short walk to tram that took us into the heart of Edinburgh…. The harbour pub and Rishles Indian…. Lovely walks along the Fourth with breakfast at Porto & Fi fantastic home cooked meals. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped warm and cozy.

    The bed in the second room was a bit uncomfortable. And would have appreciated some milk for the tea. But other than that, it was such a great stay!

    Such a cute cottage!! Great location, close to public transport. But only a 15 min Uber into the city. It was so well decorated. We particularly loved the bath!

    The TV on the wall in the bedroom is pointless as it does not turn enough to be watched in bed 🙄. The extractor fan in the bedroom runs too long. 15 minutes everytime the light is switched on wakes everyone up at night.

    The property was spotless and secure. Everything we needed thanks

    You do have to be very quiet as neighbours are right beside you, but that is to be expected.

    Great location for a quiet stay. Small but very clean and cosy. Plenty of clean towels and toileteries. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and ingredienta..Great access to the city centre via the tram system which is very good value for money! Bart was very helpful and responsive.

    The TV reception wasn't great and the reception kept pixelating during the short periods we watched TV. The plug in the bathroom sink doesn't seal properly so a filled sink of water drains away too quickly. Neither of the above are deal breakers however. Other than these minor points, the flat is perfect in every way.

    The cottage is beautiful and has everything needed for a home from home stay. It was immaculately clean. The beds were super-comfortable. There are all the mod cons you could need including dish washer tablets and all the other basics required for a stay. I think the owner has thought of everything. The photographs on Booking.com are truly representative of the accommodation. I'm at a loss as to to how the owner could possibly improve the accommodation. The Newhaven tram stop is only 2 minutes walk away so it's very easy to get into central Edinburgh or just spend some time in Leith. There's a large Asda supermarket nearby for your food and drink needs. We were awestruck with this little cottage flat and wished we had stayed longer. We would stay again without any hesitation especially owing to the ease of access by car and the plentiful free residents' parking outside the property.

    Literally can't think of anything to complain about - we loved it! Wish I could move in permanently.

    The cottage had everything we needed and much, much more. The host really has thought of every little detail. Location is fab for exploring the local area by foot, and bus stops and tram stop are nearby for easy access to the city centre. The beds were both really comfy and the spa bath was a very welcome addition at the end of a long road trip.

    The place is well furnished with such a cosy vibe. Just across the street, there are some amazing restaurants and store for fresh seafood where I could buy and cook my own dishes. Also there is ASDA in a walking distance. Plus a few steps to the bus station could get me to the heart of Edinburgh city. The tram station is a few minutes away if walking. Truly amazing place to stay! The host was super supportive and responsive with well thought way to support during the stay. I accidentally locked the door with the key inside the house. The host picked up my call so fast with instant well managed way for me to get spare key to get in the house.

    The property is lovely and extremely well fitted out ...there are several restaurants within one kilometre of which all seemed good and the ones we used were excellent...great harbour view from there....a very short walk to buses and only 5min walk to the tram which takes 20 minutes to Edinburgh centre.
