We had a lovely time staying in the Coach House. We especially liked the surrounding woodland.It is a very practical house with an excellent shower and very good kitchen facilities.As our main aim was spending time in Edinburgh ( we had all lived there in our youth!) we found the proximity very handy with the benefit of returning to the seclusion of the Coach House in the evening.The Bridge Inn at Ratho was excellent and welcoming and Ratho itself is really pleasant.
