The property is an ideal base from which to explore not only the town of Dalkeith, just a 10-minute drive away, but also the historic city of Edinburgh which is half an hour away. The fabulous Firth of Forth coast has super beaches and lots to discover all the way from Musselburgh down to North Berwick and Dunbar.
Dalkeith is an excellent base for holidays with its Country Park making a fantastic day out for families and couples alike offering walks, cycling (bike hire available) fishing and bush craft activities and also operating as a working farm, the land is home to an abundance of wildlife including otters, badgers, hares and migratory birds, all of which can be experienced via a Ranger-led walk. For the little ones in tow, the Park offers zorbing and archery, not to mention Fort Douglas Adventure Park, a magical turreted tree house, complete with suspension bridge, climbing frame, secret tunnels plus knights, princesses and pirates.
The Scottish capital city of Edinburgh is of course renowned for its history and a trip to the Castle and Royal Mile is a must. Also recommended are the many art galleries including The Scottish, Scottish National, National Portrait and Modern Art galleries. For the green fingered, the Botanic Gardens, with their tropical and temperate palm glass-houses, arboretum and allotments offer a welcome break from the bustle of the city centre. Live traditional music takes place in many locations across the city throughout the week and food from all four corners of the world is readily available.
There are a number of fantastic beaches relatively close by including Cramond, Gullane, Portobello, North Berwick, Seacliff, Belhaven Bay and Silver Sands and easy access to the main roads leading to the Lothian, Fife and Border regions for anyone looking for a day further afield.

The house is very centrally located with a nearby shop. The house was very clean and cozy. Washing machine, dishwasher were available including everything you need for immediate use. We slept very well in the beds and felt very comfortable in the house. Lots of flyers for sights available. Free WiFi and parking right in front of the door. We were very happy to find such a beautiful house and would book it again at any time.

It was easy to find. Great service and follow through from the owners. Very responsive. The only 1 bathroom was a bit inconvenient for 6 people, and the space was very small. The space off the kitchen was nice for dining and discussing our plan of action for the next day. Thank you for the use of your place… it was great!!!
