Located in Edinburgh in the Lothian region with Royal Yacht Britannia nearby, Old fisherman's Cottage No 4, free parking provides accommodation with free private parking. The property is situated 3.2 km from Edinburgh Playhouse, 3.8 km from Edinburgh Waverley station and 4.3 km from Royal Mile. Providing free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking apartment has a hot tub.

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.

Castle Gogar Cottage, a property with a garden, is situated in Edinburgh, 7.4 km from Murrayfield Stadium, 8.5 km from EICC, as well as 10 km from National Museum of Scotland. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 4.8 km from Edinburgh Zoo.

The 'Castle Gogar Cottage' is attached to Gogar Castle - and the hosts' home - and is located at the end of a picturesque driveway just off the main Glasgow Road, Edinburgh. As such it is a short drive to a host of local attractions, quality restaurants, bars, golf courses and sports venues. Despite having Edinburgh Airport as our immediate neighbour we were never disturbed by any of the aircraft operations. The quality of The Cottage's furnishings is exceptionally high and the presentation was of the highest standard. The Cottage is superbly well appointed with quality fitments, bedlinen, towelling and the like. The bedroom suites, bathroom and lounge are all wonderfully comfortable, well heated and delightfully cosy. The kitchen was very spacious and, again, extremely well appointed. Our host, Donna, welcomed us on arrival and quickly explained the layout and the attractions of the property. Donna was warm, engaging and considerate and her attention to the guests’ needs is flawless. Communications were speedy and helpful. The rain deterred us from using the outdoor patio but The Cottage's indoor facilities more than compensated for the dreary weather. We look forward to making a return visit as soon as we can and would highly recommend 'Castle Gogar Cottage' to all discerning visitors to Edinburgh.

    Very central property. A few minutes walk from every places of interest in Edinburgh. Very nice cozy room, charming and comfortable, what you would expect from an old building of this style. We enjoyed the little attention with the cookies’ box and the possibility to have tea or coffee. Julia was very helpful with any requests we had. Self check in was quite easy with the instructions provided in advance.

    The breakfast will spoil you for the rest of you life. Every day it is special breakfast in a Georgian setting dining room. The hotelrooms are cozy and romantic by design, quiet and spacious. The location was an absolute pre, away from the massive tourisme and the busline(s) will take you every 5 minutes into town. The ride into Old town will take you only 8 minutes, in heavy traffic, from the busstop in front of the hotel. And take you back to the hotel whenever you want, with bars like the Old bell in walking distance

    The hotel was standard but cosy. The staff were very helpful and loaded with useful information. When we made requests they were handled efficiently. The location is good, right outside there's a bus stop, with bus services that take you straight to the city centre. The food was really good. We didn't have breakfast but we did have room service, twice. The steam room wasn't working when we were there unfortunately, but the sauna was and that was great! Went in the pool too. Very easy to access the facilities.

    We couldn’t have imagined a more charming stay. You feel and see the love that Lydie put into the house from the moment you step foot into the door. The room was spacious and cozy, the bed very comfortable. Also, the location of the house is great since it‘s walking distance to the center of town, surrounded by many cafés and shops but hidden away in a residential area. All in all: The perfect place to relax and get a good night’s sleep after a busy day in town.
