On our our second trip to Edinburgh this year we stayed at Blacket Garden Flat again & are very happy that we did. We travelled towards the end of November and were caught in the snowstorm of the century. In March it was volcanic ash and t his time it was snowflakes - & lots of them! We had to re-book 3 times before finally bussing to Glasgow to fly out. Isobel and Jimmy went above and beyond the whole time we were there, giving up their computer, their phone, their sleep and never losing their patience nor their friendly, welcoming manner. Jimmy was up to see us off at 3 am and neither of them were surprised when we turned up on the doorstep later that morning. The room and breakfasts were excellent and the fresh strawberries - in November - were wonderful. We had a chance to get to know Jimmy's local rather well, met grandchildren, and felt like we were treated as well as family would be. I don't like being a 'high-maintenance guest' but we became just that this trip and Isobel and Jimmy couldn't have handled it any better than they did.
