"Erholsame Ferien an der Peripherie von Edinburgh"

8.0

Die Lage direkt an der Meeresbucht ist sehr schön. Für einen Städteurlaub in Edinburgh ist die Unterkunft jedoch sehr weit weg vom Zentrum. Die Gegend ist zwar mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln sehr gut erschlossen und tags über findet man alle 10 Min. einen Bus in unmittelbarer Näher der Unterkunft. Die Busreise dauert jedoch rund 45 Min. ins Zentrum. In der gleichen Zeit fährt man von Edinburgh mit der Bahn nach Glasgow! Die Unterkunft war sauber und grosszügig. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ideal für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Die öffentlichen Parkplätze direkt vor dem Haus waren nie belegt. Es hat alles auf Anhieb funktioniert. Die Schotten sind sehr freundliche Leute.

Das wurde hier bereits von anderen Personen vermerkt: Wir kamen spät abends an und fanden im Kühlschrank nicht einmal eine Flasche Wasser, geschweige denn irgendetwas, was uns willkommen geheissen hätte. Für elektrische Geräte (Mobile etc.) benötigt man einen Adapter für UK. Fehlanzeige. Unsere diesbezügliche Anfrage an die Verwaltung wurde nicht beantwortet. Zum Glück gibt es ASDA, einen Supermarkt der rund um die Uhr geöffnet hat (mit dem Auto 10 Min. entfernt). Notfalls kann man über den USB-Stecker der Nachttischlampe sein Mobile aufladen. In der Nähe der Unterkunft gibt es nur Fastfood, vor allem chinesisches Essen, aber weder ein Pub noch ein gutes Restaurant. Dazu muss man nach Leith oder ins Zentrum fahren; mit Uber relativ schnell und günstig. Checkout ist um 10.00 Uhr. Wenn man erst abends fliegt, nicht sehr entgegenkommend. Für eine ganze Familie mag sich der stolze Preis lohnen. Für den gleichen Preis findet man in Edinburgh jedoch in jedem Luxushotel eine grosszügige Suite.

"Outstanding views and quirks with excellent transport links"

8.0

The view from the living room was outstanding- as one of the closest properties to the sea in Edinburgh you felt like you were sitting on a boat looking out at sea. Good sized property well equipped with features like a hot tub, 3 en-suites and separate toilet. Good sized fridge-freezer, washing facilities, boiling water tap etc. Transport links from the property were excellent if you don't want to use your car. A bus directly outside the property takes you to Portobello centre and on to Edinburgh and beyond (Zoo etc). Several alternative buses to Edinburgh are nearby (3-5 min walk). Never felt like more than 5 mins wait for a bus. The area is safe, close enough to the busier beach and shopping area to walk but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet and a little rock pooling. Property was easy to contact and responsive to our questions.

While the important parts like the beds and kitchen were very clean other areas needed a little work. Cobwebs in bathroom corners, dust accumulations in less used areas and a lot of black mould around the shower seals etc. Carpet probably in need of a replacement soon and just the feeling that a week's worth of deep cleaning and DIY was needed. Certainly didn't spoil the stay but for the price should be perfect. It is also the first property of its type I've stayed in that didn't provide a welcome basket- again no big deal but a nice touch that we've always experienced even in properties a quarter of the price. Subtle things like no spare bin liners, kitchen roll etc just felt strange in a property of this stature.

"Perfect weekend away in a beautiful home ❤️"

10.0

Clean and tidy. Absolutely beautiful views. Most relaxing weekend away. We came to run the marathon and it was perfect. The buses stop right outside so you can go anywhere for just £5! The zoo is also really close.

"Wonderful amenities for a family stay!"

10.0

What a beautiful home, thank you so much for sharing the space with us! We traveled 4000 miles to be with family for a holiday, and found ourselves very comfortable, with plenty of room, enjoying amazing views, and in a great location! The public bus was so easy to catch and take around, we absolutely made the most of our stay.

We can't think of anything that would improve this experience!
