The Lochside House Residence Edinburgh

The house was absolutely lovely. Very spacious and welcoming. We ad a couple of minor problems, the radiators needed bleeding (a 5 minute job), and being in Scotland this was needed as it was quite cold. There were also no toilet rolls when we arrived, after a long journey, just one somewhere in the house would have been nice (there was tea, coffee, biscuits, even a pushchair, but no toilet roll?). All in all though the house was great and a perfect position for visiting Edinburgh.

Absolutely gorgeous house in a lovely village.
We had a weekend away with some girl friends and the house made it perfect. There was enough room for everyone and enjoyed sitting out in the garden with the patio doors open.
Really close to Edinburgh without the noise of the city. I would recommend a visit to the Sheep Heid which does some really good food.

Only issue was the bins hadn't been emptied and but the time we left they were over flowing.

Overall fantastic weekend break thank you

We used this excellent venue as the multi-generational family base for our daughter's wedding at The Hub. Superb location for views, for city centre accessibility and walks in Holyrood Park. Beautiful architect designed interior and extensions. Spacious,modern, airy, light and warm. Lovely dining area with large table. Lots of electrical and techno gadgets. Great showers and bathrooms with abundant hot water. Good access for disabled visitors although downstairs bathroom has shower over bath which might be a limitation if upstairs walk in showers could not be accessed. Pleasant garden areas with easy access and outside lighting at the rear. Outside lighting problem fixed within hours of notifying agent. Keysafe access perfect for uncertain time of arrival but difficult to locate in darkness with no automatic outside lights.
Niggles: Quality of some furnishings does not match up with high end design of building. Downstairs bedroom is lit up at night by passing cars because of blind only and lack of curtains/shutters. Shutters only at windows in most rooms - limits daylight for privacy when dressing/undressing in bedrooms/bathrooms. Kitchen worksurface very limited for preparing food for large group. Can't use ensuite bathrooms during night without flooding bedroom with light and turning fans on. An extra inclusive set of towels, bin bags and toilet rolls would be useful. No furniture other than beds and bedside tables upstairs - chairs and small tables would be useful. Only one full length mirror available.
All in all an excellent stay was enjoyed by all.

Fantastic location. Lovely house but needs to be checked for minor defects before arrival of guests. Also no coat hanging space and cooker so complicated it takes a few days to get the hang of it.
Nevertheless, fabulous time had by all. Thank you.

Beautiful, spacious house in a quiet location a couple of miles from the city centre.

Loved the enclosed garden and lounge with huge glass doors.

With Holyrood Park almost on the doorstep and Scotland's oldest inn just round the corner, what else would you need from a place to stay?

We'd certainly stay here again.

Our stay in the Edinburgh area was great and the house was much more than we expected.

The house was in a very quiet part of town and the gardens across the street were a real bonus.

The location was great and only an hour walk to the center of town (driving into the old part of town not recommended, especially if you are not accustomed to traffic circles).

We would definitely consider renting the house again the next time we are in Scotland.

Absolutely fantastic accommodation in a beautiful and quiet part of Edinburgh. The sun room and garden were great for sitting out and chilling with wine during the day and the evening. The children loved the garden and all the space for running around in - plus they made the most of the decking catwalk! It was really easy to stroll into Edinburgh along the beautiful paths under Arthur's Seat. Craig's hospitality was superb. I would thoroughly recommend the accommodation to anybody who is staying in Edinburgh.
