    Cosy week away

    From start to finish our stay at Lime Cottage was excellent. The accommodation was clean and cosy and, particularly important to us, the kitchen was well equipped for the cooking we planned to do during our stay. Our terrier, Gilbert, especially loved his early morning walks on the estate. Arniston is very close to a railway station, so access to Edinburgh was simple. During our visit we explored the Fife coastline, North Berwick beaches, Edinburgh and Rosslyn Chapel. Communication preceding and during our stay was prompt and helpful, for which we were grateful.

    A most wonderful stay

    We stayed here for 5 nights . 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. A cosy pretty cottage on a beautiful estate. A super easy train ride into Edinburgh. Absolutely would stay again- 5 star from us !

    Nice little spot

    We four (three adults, one child) enjoyed our four night stay at Lime Cottage. 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.

    Autumn Stay

    Lovely stay at Lime cottage for a week with our two dogs. Well furnished though took a while to warm up. Could do with a few more lights outside especially when needing to take the dogs out when it is dark. We would easily stay again.

    Lovely traditional cottage in a lovely location

    This is the second time we have stayed in the cottages. 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.

    Cosy cottage in a stunning location

    We loved our stay at Arniston, our cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it is in a beautiful location. 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.

    Everything about the stay was perfect. I particularly like that there was not an extra charge for logs. The country side and nature are beautiful and abundant. We felt happy, comfortable and welcomed during our stay. We are going back in November.

    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.

    Perfect South Edinburgh base

    We picked Arniston as its a great base to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas whilst being cosy and accommodating for those with mobility constraints and dog lovers. The properties offer great value and this was our second stay at Lime Cottage. And believe it or not the sun shone all week.
