Location was wonderful, walking distance to restaurants, bus stop 2 minutes away. Close to beach and walking distance to playgrounds which was perfect with our 4 year old.
Loved everything about staying here, except we found the mattresses a little uncomfortable but that wasnât a huge deal.
Host Mhairi was lovely, lent us some flour when we needed it!
Highly recommend staying here!
I stayed with my teenage daughter and we absolutely loved it. So much so that we stayed for an additional night.
Location for us was perfect, very quiet and close to the beach. After busy days in Edinburgh it was great to come back to a well equipped home from home đ
We stayed here with friends for the Edinburgh festival. Mhairi is very welcoming and provided us with some lovely home baking during our stay. Very convenient for the bus into town but great for a walk along the beach when you want a break from festival activities
Location was excellent for accessing Edinburgh by bus. Also, to travel to points of interest in the area. Cosy and warm, close to beach. Mhairi was welcoming and helpful. Thanks for the hospitality!
Comfortable flat with thoughtful owners in a great location
Flat is cozy with plentiful amenities and comfortable beds. Mhairi was very thoughtful and attentive in preparing the place for us to make sure our brief stay was easy and relaxing. Location is great for quick access to the beach, as well as grocery stores and restaurants nearby, but manages to feel quiet and secluded despite being so convenient to the city.
This apartment is perfect. It had everything we needed.
Host Mhairi very friendly and helpful. Location excellent. Lovely extra personal touches. Beds very comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend this place and will definitely use again.
I stayed at Mhairiâs property for six weeks and by the end, it really felt like home. It was a great place to get immersed in the local community, and was very convenient for travelling into Edinburgh and beyond. Mhairi was a fantastic host, and was so generous in offering baked goods and other treats throughout my stay. Thanks so much for having me Mhairi, and I canât wait to hopefully come back again soon!
This is a delightfully quiet flat, just a 25 minute bus ride from downtown Edinburgh. The sand beach is less than a minute's walk away and was perfect for an evening walk. The host lives upstairs and was very prompt in replying to emails. This was my wife's favorite place we stayed at while on a two week trip to Scotland.
This flat is in a great location. Just a few seconds walk to the beach! Mhairi , the owner, met us upon arrival. She was even willing to pick us up where we dropped the rental car off. The flat has everything you need. Bus stops right in front. Short walk to Fisherman Harbour and food stores (Lidl, Iceland and Aldi).
Mhairi leaves a detailed book with contact numbers and directions for appliances). She also made fresh scones and flapjacks and shared some with us! We hope to stay with Mhairi in our future trips.
Run to.your computer right now to reserve Mhairi's wonderful rental.We loved the quiet away from Fringe Festival frenzy! It's a very easy 25 minutes bus to the city center. Stroll along the beach to the historic Ship Inn pub for a meal. Mhairi answered all our questions, filled our fridge with breakfast food, and supplied us with good coffee and home made scones and jelly. The space was spotless . If we could give 10 stars, this experience would earn it!
Mhairi was a superb host during my one-week stay. She assisted with all of my needs and was always available. Such a friendly person!
The flat was spacious, clean, and welcoming. Getting into Edinburgh was quick and easy, with a bus stop only a few minutes away. Mhairi even drove me into Musselburgh on one occasion.
The flat is a bargain given high rental prices in greater Edinburgh. Mhairi was the best!

We were here for two nights and had an absolutely lovely stay. The flat itself was in a great position by the beach and our directions and communication from the owner was excellent, we found it no problem. The flat is a great size, immaculate and very comfortable. As we were travelling with small children, Mhairi had been thoughtful enough to make sure we had everything we would need to accommodate us as a family and had provided practical necessities such as a highchair, travel cot, nightlight and some toys, but also milk, bread, juice, eggs etc etc so we didn't have to rush out as soon as we arrived. There is lots of information available for local amenities also, and the owners were really helpful with information about local events, travel etc. I would thoroughly recommend this flat for anyone travelling to the area.
Small flat on the beach, very convenient to Edinburgh
Mhairi was fabulous! Our flight was early, but the flat was all ready for us including breakfast! The kitchen was filled with bacon, eggs, bread, milk, weetabix, coffee, tea. Also delicious tea cakes and other snacks for later in the day! It was very convenient to take the bus into Edinburgh from right outside the building (25-30 minutes to city center). There is wi-fi on the bus and the flat. We had a car, but took the bus into town each day. Musselburgh is a cute little town with restaurants and three grocery stores. The beach is right out back with beautiful views. It is a nice, relaxing place to end the day after spending it in the city.
What an unexpected treat for our family of 5 (my son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren) for our first time visiting Scotland. Not only was this beautiful little flat perfect for our family but Mhairi was a wonderful host! She provided a lot of helpful information, breakfast things for us to cook in the full kitchen and even treated us to a nice surprise of homemade scones and fresh raspberry jam the morning after we arrived. Her warmth and friendliness was beyond what you could hope for and made us all feel like we were leaving a friend when saying good-bye. Although we only stayed for 3 days, I'll definitely look forward to visiting again and would highly recommend for anyone wishing to visit Scotland in order to take advantage of this lovely find.
Musselburgh is a lovely little town just outside of Edinburgh and the flat is walking distance to the beach, the town, and the bus stop which is a perfect way of getting around. The flat is full of all the amenities you might need, including a wonderful binder full of information that Mhairi put together for her guests, and some board games we used in the evenings.
My wife and I have traveled often and learned that pictures can be
deceiving. Not in this case, the unit exceeded our expectations +.
What you see is what you get. We had the opportunity to meet Mhairi and Kevin 9 months prior to our holiday...yes here in Canada. Get Mhairi to tell you the story. From booking to arrival, communication was excellent and very informative. There were breakfast items already in the kitchen for the next morning after arrival. This was truly appreciated after traveling from Canada. We were in the Edinburgh/Musselburgh area for one month and traveled far and wide. This location was perfect for using the local buses and connections to the trains. After the first day, it was a really easy system to access. Mhairi and Kevin are the most honest and helpful folks you could ever meet. They went out of their way, to ensure our privacy and provide us with info when requested. Thank you for everything you did!
This hidden gem is a little out of the way but that's one of the things that makes it special. It's tucked away and offers wonderful privacy. It has lots of trees and shade surrounding it and only a few minutes walk to the beach.
Our hosts were located above the flat and met us as soon as we arrived.
The living room has comfortable couches which is important after a long day of exploring the area. We took a bus into Endiburgh, which stopped just down the street from the flat.
There is a Tesco ("supermarket" as we say in the US) which had lots of ready-to-eat meals - almost too many choices. You can literally walk there from the flat, but we chose to drive our rental car.
There were four of us. My wife and I slept in one room and our adult daughter slept in the other room. Our adult son slept in the living room. He said he slept comfortably.
There is a nice kitchen with pots, pans, cooking utensils, plates, bowls, utensils, etc. etc.
Once again, the Tesco was a great source for breakfast and dinner items. We usually ate lunch out on the town or in Edinburgh.
We usually walked along the beach in the evening and collected shells and "sea glass" which my wife brought home to Colorado.
We stayed in three vacation rentals during our trip and this was by far the most enjoyable.
We had a great stay in Musselburgh. The location is beside the bus stops so easy access to Edinburgh on the 26 or 44 bus. Clean, quiet, well stocked and lovely little house. Great host, great communication and we would stay again.
Had a lovely stay in this well equipped apartment.
Very much as described and shown in pictures.
Great transport links to Edinburgh and the coast.
Will be happy to stay again.
We had a three-room flat plus kitchen, bathroom and space for washing-machine and drier. It was very convenient to be able to was our clothes.
Because of several food allergies I usually cooked myself which was no problem as the kitchen offered everything needed.
The beach was directly behind the house, Musselburgh harbour and promenade only a few minutes away.
Mhairi gave us very supportive information how to get to Edinburgh without car and when and where to see King Charles as we came during the Royal Week.
We had a nice stay and would return.
Schöne Wohnung mit allen Annehmlichkeiten in angenehmer Lage
Wir wurden bereits vor der Anreise super von der Gastgeberin mit Informationen versorgt und sehr warm empfangen inklusive einem "Starterset" an Lebensmitteln.
Die Wohnung war super ausgestattet und wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
Wir waren dort fĂŒr die Teilnahme am Marathon, wofĂŒr die Lage auch sehr praktisch war, weil man vom Ziel zurĂŒck zum Appartment laufen konnte und nicht auf die Eventbusse angewiesen war.
Die Anbindung an die Innenstadt war super; die Busse fahren wirklich sehr eng getaktet. DafĂŒr hat man das Wasser direkt vor der Nase und kann dort schön SpaziergĂ€nge unternehmen oder laufen gehen.
Einzig die NĂ€he zur StraĂe ist etwas nachteilig. Wer gerne bei offenem Fenster schlĂ€ft oder einen leichten Schlaf hat, kann im hinteren Schlafzimmer vom morgendlichen StraĂenverkehr eventuell etwas gestört werden.
Excellent host ammoniated to our ever need, polite, kind
The host was brilliant communicating with us ammoniated to all our needs will definitely be staying again highly recommend to anyone staying in Edinburgh
This is my home and I love it because it is quiet, close to the beach and nice walks, and yet only twenty minutes from all the excitement that Edinburgh which is a fabulous city has to offer. There are loads of wonderful restaurants in Edinburgh and it is such a vibrant city at any time of year. Musselburgh itself is a historic town with a Roman Bridge, harbour, beach and lovely coastline with plenty of walks.
I loved the property because it was quirky and had the annexe flat below and because of its proximity to Edinburgh. It is tucked away behind some trees and lovely and private and quiet. Not to mention the wonderful walk along the beach to the harbour or field and forest walk around Newhailes estate, both of which are very close to the property. Bus service to Edinburgh is excellent. Although we live above the flat you have your own access and complete privacy with no interference from us but close by to help if needed.
