    Fantastic hosts and a beautiful stay. We were greeted on arrival and our hosts were very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The pictures do not do this place justice. Very comfortable (including the bed/pillows), warm and equipped with everything you could think of including a very lovely welcome package. A nice 30 minute drive to Edinburgh centre.

    This was my 4th stay at the property. The location is great and very quiet with on-site, safe, parking Accommodation has everything that you need and is very cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hosts are fantastic. I am already booked in for my 5th visit next year.

    Everything was perfect.

    Islay House is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The icing on the cake was being able to sit in the summerhouse on sunny afternoons. It is ideally situated for the visits we made to Edinburgh, Leith, Linlithgow , Melrose and North Berwick. The property owner was extremely welcoming on our arrival.

    This was my third visit to Islay House in a year. It is much more than its description of a 'comfortable home with private garden'. The house is beautiful, clean and in a lovely setting with all the facilities that you need. The hosts are fabulous and cannot do enough for you. I am already planning my fourth visit.

    I am on the "EE" phone network and the signal was bit weak from indoors (Sometimes I could not talk to people). The problem was solved by standing just outside/ in garden (or garden shed).

    was very clean, spacious and homely. Good off road parking for one large car (or two small cars). The area was fairly quiet during the day (small road close by) but very quiet at night. Always had a good nights sleep. A Spar shop is also very close by.

    Everything. This was my second stay at the property this year and I have already booked again for next year. This is a beautifully furnished apartment with a gorgeous garden in a lovely, quiet location. The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful and even leave a welcome pack in the kitchen and a variety of toiletries in the bathroom. Great location for exploring the surrounding area and access to coastal golf courses. North Berwick, Dunbar, Gullane and Musselburgh are all within a 20 mile journey. There is also a bus service from the village directly to Edinburgh and a local store/petrol station and newly refurbished public house.
