From the owner

This cosy, detached cottage over two floors offers an open plan living and dining area with views and patio doors to the private, sunny walled garden to the back, a fully fitted kitchen and downstairs toilet off the entrance vestibule. Upstairs are two bedrooms - one double and one twin and a bathroom (with bath and shower).

The cottage is ideally located, set back off the street up a private driveway (with parking outside for one car), yet just minutes' walk from local shops and bus stop into the city (a 20 minute ride). Portobello beach, promenade and town are a 15 minute walk and Figgate pond, park and golf course are literally a few minutes walk around the corner.

One well behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement only at time of booking. Owners must provide dogs bedding and towels and they are not permitted on furniture or beds and must not be left unattended in the property for any amount of time. An additional fee applies of £25 per stay which is paid directly to the property owner.

NEW FOR APRIL 2021: We have used our lockdown time wisely and totally refurbished the kitchen and bathroom (now with a walk-in powerful shower rather than small bath). We've painted the front and put new furniture, fencing and taken down the large conifer trees in the back garden, so it's ALOT sunnier (we've also graveled over this area with Scottish pebbles).... There's also a new firepit for cosy outdoor lounging or BBQing- pics to follow.
