Sep 13, 2023 #### 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. ##### Caroline B.

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. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey B. Aug 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place, very different from a hotel Really enjoyed the location and the history of the cottage. I only stayed for three nights. Should have stayed longer. I liked the property. Lots of history there. Much more fun than a hotel. The host, Henrietta, communicated well. ##### Jeffrey 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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan L. Apr 5, 2025 #### Another short stay at Arniston House 4 nights at the Lime cottage this time. 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. ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy S. Jul 4, 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! ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARK S. Jul 2, 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. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan N.

Sep 12, 2025 #### 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. ##### Caroline C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy R.

A bit disappointed in some aspects of housekeeping ie., oven needed cleaned, some crockery needed washed, toaster had a lot of crumbs on tray, vac cleaner brush head full of dog hairs, outside front door mat very dirty. We groomed our dogs everyday after exercise to keep the cottage clean and had crates for them to sleep in at night ##### Sl C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris G. Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent stay The location is perfect. Just to the south of Edinburgh, within easy reach of interesting places such as Rosslyn & Stirling.A long, tree-lined road leads up to the cottages. The cottage itself was clean, with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable.We took the tour of the house, given by Henrietta and her mother who filled it with many personal anecdotes and observations. Much better than a dry talk from someone with no connection to the family. My favourite room, the library. I would love a room like that.The grounds of the estate are also worth walking around, with the Sunken Garden being particularly nice.Overall a perfect place for a relaxing break away from everything. ![The long drive](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/13089857-2e9a-4646-afc9-bf7475338e3d-1751105761555.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![One of the many 'monuments' on the estate](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b95a31bf-e091-46b7-8bd3-acca7e9b0925-1751105788414.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The Sunken Garden](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/49fab79f-217c-47c9-8dd4-acd609092e15-1751105818413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Looking towards the main house](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9391e2d4-e896-4a76-a0a3-bfc8571c0ad6-1751105833884.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris G.

Felt that the whole property needed up update. Location was great and grounds were beautiful.
