Great Stay!

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.

An excellent and comfortable property, great to come back to after exploring the delights of Edinburgh. Well located, just 20 minutes from the Park and Ride. A quiet location on a vast estate.

Lovely place to stay

Stayed here for work near Edinburgh Centre. Would rather stay outside of the City, this is a great place to stay. Everything you could wish for. Very peaceful and beautiful location. We have stayed in the cottages on the estate and they are really cosy just what you would like a cottage to be. Gardener's House is set away from these and is a bit grander, but just as cosy.

Good location

Interior of house was modern and a good fit for our family of 6. Kids enjoyed exploring the grounds and area around Arniston house. Few minutes our of town so close enough if you for needs in town but a very good country feel. Good communication even as plans changed due to airline issues.

A magical place to stay

We had a wonderful time at the Gardener’s House at Arniston Estate. The location was convenient to Edinburgh and was a destination on its own. We hiked through the Estate to nearby Temple and enjoyed the forest, sunken gardens and waterfalls. The house was everything we needed for a family of 6. Thank you Henrietta for your hospitality.

A lovely hidden gem!

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.

Short holiday stay

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gardner’s 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!

A lovely place to stay

This was the third time I’ve stayed in cottages on the Arniston estate (I have family in Gorebridge) and I wonder why anyone would want to stay any where else! Gardener’s cottage was truly lovely. We were only 2 people, but didn’t 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 you’re 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 God’s country. Fabulous place. The one thing I would also add is that the owner (Henrietta) has the right balance in “Here if you need me” - information sent before, during and after your stay was timely, clear and concise. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Idyllic cottage on a beautiful property.

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.

Un hébergement unique. Au calme. Dans un site merveilleux. La communication est très bonne. Petit bémol. La trace laissée par de petits rongeurs qui se sont promenés sur le lit lors de la journée.

Quintessential Scottish Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gardner's House on the Armiston House Estate. The history of this house/estate is incredible. A few "quirks" just added to the personality of the home which was very comfortable. Watching the sheep graze in the pasture outside the kitchen, exploring the acres of the private estate and the stream which runs just behind the "cottage." Henrietta was lovely and stopped in to make sure everything was to our liking. Location within 1.5 miles of train station was perfect (free parking a bonus). Had we stayed longer, we would have taken greater advantage of the train and gone back into Edinburgh. 1 1/2 hours to St. Andrews. Having a washing machine was a bonus and the drying rack worked out beautifully. Would love to return and would highly recommend to anyone looking for something outside of the hustle of the city.

Return to Arniston

This is the third time that my husband, my daughter and myself and a dog have stayed at Arniston. We love the tranquility of the estate and being able to walk around the estate. The cottage is comfortable and Henrietta is a very supportive host. However, we did think that the house needed some refurbishment as it has had lots of visitors and it shows. It would be helpful to have a house notebook to note any faults- this time we could not open the back door. It would also be great to have a welcome pack just with some milk to make a drink on arrival. We have stayed in lots of air bnbs and this is normally standard service. It has not put us off returning as it us in an ideal location especially if you have dogs.
