Edinburgh
We had a very nice time at our stay in Gifford. The town is quaint and in a beautiful setting. We were visiting Edinburgh so had to take a taxi to Haddington then bus to Edinburgh so keep that in mind if you’re not renting a car. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable. The only issue we had was with the internet going out but we appreciated the management company responding quickly to help us resolve.

Cosy cottage in fantastic location
Perfect situation for dog walking and exploring the local area. Beautiful beaches, pretty villages and an amazing forest complete with river and ancient castle ruins. Friendly pub, village store and tea room in the village. What more could you ask for? We will be back!

Quiet and comfortable
We had been looking for a place to stay when our daughter had an interview at the Edinburgh University. This was the closest for a reasonable price at the time. In general it is a nice place to stay, comfortable and clean. A commute to Edinburgh takes about 30 mins. We also went to Falkirk, about 1hr drive which was also a quite easy trip. Disadvantages: a halfbroken iron, the lack of washing machine and a double bed in one of the bedrooms when we put our boys, 15 and 9, together.
But otherwise we would recommend it as a really nice place to stay within a reasonable distance from Edinburgh and for more than a reasonable price.

A Green haven of Peace and Quiet
We really enjoyed our stay in Gifford. Family get together with five adults and our grandson aged nearly 2 had a wonderful time. The house is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. When we are in the area next time, we shall be coming back.
