We've just had a week in the coach house. It's on the grounds of ratho hall . Loads of woodland surrounding you ideal for dog walking. The coach house was lovely plenty of room. Parts of it are looking a little tired but nothing major. Most of the activitys we had planned were all within half hour away, including Edinburgh itself. The edinburgh climbing centre was only a 10 min drive and definitely worth a visit. will definitely be visiting again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had everything we needed, in a nice location. The cottage can feel a little bit dark, but then the weather was not good at all, whilst we were staying, which didn’t help.
