“Quiet cottage stay”
+The cottage is beautiful - thoughtful design, gorgeous light, and attention to details made our stay extremely comfortable (I could live in the cottage!). Strong water pressure in the shower, fully equipped cottage to cook your own meals, comfortable bed and big sofa.
−It's up on a hill so if you're not driving, make sure you're ready for the walk up (we are living in the Netherlands and aren't used to any terrain, so it was a bit of a work out for us). It's not far from the city, but it's not that close either. Some days we were back and forth on the bus. So if you need to be in the centre, it's something to consider. It's Scotland, so it can be a bit damp / chilly. I recommend bringing slippers.

+A beautifully presented cottage in a quiet residential area. It had a lovely kitchen with all you need for the week including a dishwasher and washing machine. Lovely clean bathroom with a very nice power shower and a comfortable sofa in the living room. The location is a very nice residential area about 20 minutes bus ride from the city. The buses are regular and there are no problems getting around. Do note that the cottage is on a steep hill, so you have to be willing to walk 5/10 minutes uphill to reach it. Overall I would recommend Hillview Cottage for anyone looking to get away somewhere peaceful while still being able to explore Edinburgh city.

“Absolute perfection 👌 The perfect cottage just outside the city”
+The cottage was stunning, absolutely stunning and everything about it was perfect. The cottage was decorated to an impressively immaculate classic chic standard, such thoughtful extras like coffee pods, cooking spices, dishwasher, books on walks in Edinburgh, umbrella etc I honestly don't think we have stayed anywhere else that has come close to this. Location was perfect for us with a dog, beautiful huge woodland park just up the road, numerous bus stops a mere 10 minute walk away if that, safe and friendly neighbourhood and loads of free on street parking. Nice little courtyard and plenty of space.
−If I had to be super super super fussy, I personally would have liked a longer/bigger bath towel but that's me being nit picky as honestly this place was gorgeous!

“Clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!”
+The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It was well equipped and we had everything that we needed. The hostess left coffee, tea and even cookies. We stayed for only 2 nights but we honestly didn’t want to leave. The neighbourhood is quiet, beautiful and I believe safe. We did use only public transport (buses) and we walked from the bus station to the cottage in the night without any issue. The distance between bus station and the cottage was about 8-10 minutes walking. The only difficulty we had was to find the cottage entrance when we arrived for the first time. We had a very detailed and clear instructions from the hostess and even though we were struggling because Google map showed us the entrance of the house on the other street. You should not enter in the big house yard. Read carefully the instructions from the hostess.

+Beautiful cottage located in a suburban area, just a few minutes’ walk from a wonderful forest park that offers peaceful walks and beautiful views. The bus stop was close by, and you could easily get to the city. The place itself was beautiful as well, well-equipped, and allowed us to cook good food and relax on a comfortable sofa and bed. There was a gorgeous lilac tree outside the window, which added to the charm of the cottage.
−Everything was great!
