Holyrood Cottage

Staying at Holyrood Cottage was a highlight of our accommodation in the UK. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. We were disappointed that the weather was such that we could not enjoy the lovely garden but the wood stove was very welcome after we were caught in a torrential downpour. The location is very central and Rebecca was a wonderful host.

Holyrood Cottage was such a find! Rebecca is the most welcoming and helpful host and the cottage itself is spacious for two and comfortable with many thoughtful additions - fresh bread, milk, butter, jam and a bottle of wine as well as toiletries, washing detergent, folding rack for the washing, plenty of clothes hangers etc. The lounge is large, the bed is large and comfortable and there is a lovely conservatory area as well. The cottage is well-situated for public transport (bus stop is a short walk away) and you can enjoy a pleasant walk across the park to the Palace and the Royal Mile.

Thank you Rebecca for a wonderful welcome to lovely Holyrood Cottage. We really felt at home and comfortable from the first entrance into the cosy, stylish cottage. Such a peaceful retreat yet so close to everything we wanted to do in Edinburgh during our three night stay. So many little touches to make you feel at home and a wonderful imagination to use the space to best effect.

Cleverly thought-through accommodation. Decorated to feel light and airy. Large bed and well equipped kitchen. Location is indeed away from the centre, on a quiet street, but that is its appeal. The walk through the park to the Royal Mile is a delight. Loved it!

We stayed at Holyrood Cottage for the weekend (25/09/2020). We found the cottage to be delightful, with all of the amenities that you would expect and need. There was bread, milk, coffee, tea and wine in the fridge. We wre made to feel welcome from the outset. The COVID restrictions were all followed and we felt safe staying here. Holyrood Cottage is ideally situated backing on to Holyrood Park and a short walk from Arthurs Seat and the Royal Mile. We had a great time and a very relaxing stay.

Delightful, comfortable, cosy cottage providing all the essentials and more for our stay in Edinburgh. The location is wonderful, right next to Holyrood Park with a gate into the park only yards from the front door. We loved walking through the park, past (and once up) Arthur’s Seat to Holyrood House, the Parliament buildings and The Royal Mile. As it was November, we didn’t make use of the conservatory or garden but we did make use of the log burning stove which was delightful in the evenings when we were in. Rebecca is a very welcoming hostess.

Lovely Rebecca is waiting to welcome you to this amazing quiet little gem. Surrounded by green hills but only a short walk to Edinburgh's main sights, it's perfect. After a busy day exploring, return to the log burner on a winter's night or the south facing garden for summer evenings with a glass of wine in hand. Lots of lovely little bistro places nearby, so food lovers won't be disappointed.

Holyrood Cottage was immaculate, lovely and comfortable and beautifully and thoughtfully appointed. With its own little private garden and spacious living area, it is a perfect weekend or short stay bijoux place for two, right next to Holyrood Park and within easy walking distance of the city. Rebecca was a superb host, responding immediately to any questions and going to lengths above and beyond to make our stay as easy and comfortable as possible. The cottage is top of my list for a place to stay whenever I am in Edinburgh. Thank you so very much.

Ideally located, extremely comfortable & beautifully presented cottage. The owner Rebecca was so thoughtful, from leaving bread, milk & wine (the essentials!) in the fridge to even picking us up from the station! We had a wonderful stay & would highly recommend it.

Excellent hostess Rebecca who provided a wonderful welcome pack.spotlessly clean and very well equipped accommodation. Great attention to detail even dressing gown and slippers.Very good location directly behind holyrood park and Arthur's seat. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and very much look forward to returning.

What a fantastic place. It is immaculate and just as gorgeous as it looks in the photos. It has everything you need and has been really well thought out, with lots of lovely touches, even the log fire was laid ready for us to light it. Rebecca was lovely right from the first contact, very helpful and welcoming. It's in an ideal location just yards away from Holyrood Park and walking distance from the city centre. We would highly recommend it and we're already planning our next visit!

What a gem. Every need catered for. Immaculate facility with an eye to detail and style. Superior hosts who made our stay so welcoming. Log fire great, bed soooooo comfy. I could go on but it would all be in the same vein. We will return without doubt. Thanks Rebecca for a great stay.

We have just had a wonderful weekend at Holyrood cottage and would highly recommend it., in fact I would say it was the best ever self catering accommodation we have stayed in in the UK. We had a warm welcome from Rebecca when we arrived and she was really helpful. She has really put a great deal of effort into making sure visitors have everything they need. The cottage is absolutely lovely and we will definately return.

Holyrood Cottage is a truly fabulous place to stay. Rebecca could not have been more helpful from initial contact right through to wishing us a safe journey home. I would not hesitate to recommend Holyrood Cottage and hope to be making a return visit soon.
