This was a first anniversary gift to my daughter and her husband and they had a magical time. They enjoyed peaceful walks through the estate and loved having a real fire to cosy up to.
It was Doors Open day on their arrival day and they enjoyed an interesting tour of Arniston House. Many thanks to Henrietta, her mother and the staff that make Arniston such a wonderful Place to stay.
Pet friendly. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen to use. Some areas of dust dotted aroubd, namely lamp shades but otherwise clean and tify. Lovely fires in lunge and dining room. Easy to contact owner when needed and accomodated lighter duvet in main bedroom as too warm.
We had a great stay, the kids loved the back yard and the highland cows in the back pasture. The property was beautiful and it was close to Edinburgh. We would stay again.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gardnerâs House!! Henrietta is a host that goes above and beyond for her guests. This was our first trip to Scotland to visit our son studying nearby, so it was a chilly time! The house was cozy and we loved playing cards by the fire in the parlor room. The grounds looked beautiful⊠we hope to come back when it is warm and we can explore! I highly recommend this vacation home for families. The 4 of us slept comfortably and there would be room for two more as there are 3 bedrooms. Thank you Henrietta and staff for making us feel so welcome!
This was the third time Iâve stayed in cottages on the Arniston estate (I have family in Gorebridge) and I wonder why anyone would want to stay any where else! Gardenerâs cottage was truly lovely. We were only 2 people, but didnât feel like we were rattling around in the place. It was genuinely like staying in a home from home: Heating was just right, WiFi was great, modern TV worked well, the kitchen was a lovely place just to have a coffee at the table and watch the world go by. Because youâre right next to the big house, the drive to and from the cottage is very grand and never fails to make you aware of where you are - in Godâs country. Fabulous place. The one thing I would also add is that the owner (Henrietta) has the right balance in âHere if you need meâ - information sent before, during and after your stay was timely, clear and concise. Canât recommend highly enough.
Lovely getaway with family and friends during October holidays at this charming little gem. Sitting on the beautiful grounds of the Arniston Estate, away from hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the city of Edinburgh (we commuted by car). Accommodation itself was very spacious and had everything needed. Enjoyed the views of walled garden while having our breakfast each morning. Communication with the host before the arrival and during our stay was excellent. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant and memorable.
I really enjoyed my stay at the Gardener's Cottage. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There is a lot to see and do in close proximity to the property, and about a 30 minute drive to Edinburgh.
