    The cottage was very well appointed and mostly clean. We liked the extra shower room and toilet allowing our guests to have the upstairs shower room to themselves. The gardens were beautiful, we could hear birds singing, it was like being in the countryside even though next to an airport. Beautifully furnished inside.

    The house is very elegant, every object, including the breakfast table lay out was exquisite, the fresh flowers, the candles, the pottery...May and David really went out of their way at breakfast time, plus they helped us with our heavy luggage and made us feel very looked after. We had the small room, that if you do not have much luggage is delighfully cozy and romantic. My friends  had room n.3 and it was simply perfect.  The location is the truly added bonus, not only charming and elegant but close to everything.

    The cottage is lovely. The kitchen cupboards are a bit tired compared to the rest of the property but that is just a small point. The cottage is fab and the sauna and hot tub are brill. The deer in the field were a joy to behold and the lights of the airport runway were spectacular at night.

    Lindean cottage is very authentic place, where you feel yourself more a citizen than visitor of Edinburgh. There are a lot of place to sleep for a family or a company and on top of it spacious kitchen/living room with a fireplace. Dry wood to make fire was attached. Every little details tells us that owners love to have guests in their charming house.
