Our stay at this lovely cottage was like being adopted by the owners that live next door. We were welcomed by the misses so warmly and graciously. The kitchen had been supplied with all the basic needs and also a bottle of wine and beer. There was also a variety of food stuffs waiting for us. All throughout. Our two week stay the McDonalds were more than helpful with any questions regarding transportation and places to go. This was a highlight of our two months in the UK.

Our experience was really really good in Come Ben the Hoose, the apartment is 1 minute by walk from the Bus stop and so arriving to the city center it's very simple. The apartment has got everything one can need, a well equiped kitchen, 2 comfortable bedrooms, comfortable leaving room with TV, bathroom with shower and a small garden on the back door. It's all well cleaned and tidy and heaters make the whole house perfectly warm. The home also is equipped with city maps, bus timetables and even with a small list of the best restaurant of the quarter! The quarter is residential and very quiet, with very little traffic.
The host, Mrs Ann, is a very very kind, polite and helpful person. At the arrival she prepared some welcome cake for us and she showed us carefully the home. She is an excellent host and we wish to thank her a lot for her hospitality.
Overall, our experience in Come Ben the Hoose was really very good. Me and my girlfriend strongly recommend Come Ben the Hoose, it the ideal home for travelers and city visitors! Vote: 10

This is a late review and is something that I've been meaning to do for a while. Sorry Anne! We stayed at Come Ben the Hoose for 3 weeks. It was just ideal for us. There was enough room for a family of four, and the house is very accessible by bus to the heart of Edinburgh. Also, Portabello is a pretty 20 minute walk away. Anne and Gordon are excellent hosts, and Anne's attention to detail and cheery attitude really 'iced' our visit. We had a great time, and its affordability is just another bonus.

We really enjoyed our time in "come ben the hoose" and we didn´t miss anything. It has the perfect size for group of four.The kitchen was well equipped and full of daylight.Ann Mc Donald was very helpfull and provided us with excellent pancakes on the arrival. The area is really quiet and I loved the jogging track on the innocent railway close by. It`s not to far to the city center, so we walked there every time and took the bus on the ride back. Unfortunately we could only stay for 4 days, but since we had such a brilliant time in edinburgh, we will be back for sure some time. And if avaluable we return to come ben the hoose:-)

Ann went above and beyond for our visit, going out of her way to help us. The house is perfectly situated so that the city centre is only a short bus ride or car journey away. Unlike other rentals, Come Ben the Hoose is filled with everything you need for a self catering holiday as well as leaflets and maps to help you enjoy your time in Edinburgh. My friends and I had a great time here and hope to visit again in the future.
