“A Perfect Place to Stay whilst visiting Edinburgh”
+We loved the location and the accommodation. Our room and bathroom were spotless, beautifully maintained and comfortable. We also loved having a sitting room and large TV. Breakfast was delicious and generous. Our hosts were so very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Sandy gave us a lift down into town and lots of local information on the way. Marie recommended things to do and places to eat. They also gave us a very helpful information sheet which we used to plan our activities. We parked our car inside the grounds of the lovely home and garden, at no extra charge. We enjoyed our stay immensely and cannot recommend ‘The Cairn Residence’ more highly. Thank you Sandy and Marie, we would love to return!

“A dreamy stay at Edinburgh”
+The property is amazing , very elegant and spotless. Marie and Sandy are superb, their warm hospitality made us feel at home. Marie’s delicious breakfast is the perfect way to start a day, we felt she really cared about us and prepared the food we like. Sandy drove us to the center and showed us bus options we have. Marie and Sandy recommended attractions and gave us a printed summary. We enjoyed our stay and it was difficult to leave.

“Top notch accommodation in Edinburgh with super hosts Sandy and Marie - Wonderful!!”
+What a great stay with Sandy and Marie in their lovely home in Edinburgh. Just a short, picturesque walk along the river or a quick bus trip into town from their wonderful home - where we enjoyed a spacious bedroom, large bathroom, our own lounge area, magnificent breakfasts, and great hospitality. We had many chats with the hosts and the time flew far too quickly. We’ll have to return someday for more of the same. Wholly recommended and a fabulous start to our trip in Scotland!

“Perfect hosts. Gorgeous area and accommodation.”
+Amazing property and so comfortable and spotless. Breakfast freshly served each morning, nothing was too much trouble. Sandy and Marie are the perfect hosts and made my friend and I so welcome. Brilliant for attending a concert at Murrayfield Stadium.
−Nothing it was perfect.

“We were given a very warm welcome and enjoyed a family atmosphere.”
+Sandy & Marie are extremely friendly and supportive hosts! Even when we arrived late, Sandy invited us for a very good tea and a small evening meal. Even as a non-native speaker, Marie is easy to understand and takes the time to explain everything. Sandy gives great advice on exploring Scotland. And don't forget: Marie is a great cook and is happy to fulfill wishes - thank you for the great time!
−There is actually no point of criticism. As a German with the habit of XXL beds, you can cuddle with your partner almost anywhere in Scotland - it's a historical fact. But is that a point of criticism? We don't think so :-)

“Brilliant and amazing.”
+Everything. Both Sandy and Marie were first class host, from the minute you step inside the house you are treated with the utmost respect and friendship. The breakfast was cooked perfectly each day and whatever you wanted. You have a large bedroom with plenty of space, large bathroom with bath and separate shower and exclusive use of your own lounge area with large tv and very comfortable seating. Both Sandy and Marie are friendly, informative, helpful and treat you as if you were family.
−Absolutely nothing.
