    Jean was an excellent host. The apartment was very clean. As we were staying over Christmas and the New Year, Jean had decorated. She was very efficient with her correspondence. The location of the apartment is very useful for getting the bus into Edinburgh. Penicuik has restaurants, grocery stores and a gas station. We had a car and took a number of day trips to places like St. Andrews, the East Neuk of Fife, Dunfermline, Stirling and Glasgow. Our son and his family hiked in the Pentland Hills. We also had a good walk in the grounds of Penicuik House and enjoyed a breakfast at The Craigie Hotel. The apartment is a good location to explore more than just Edinburgh. Thank you Jean for your hospitality.

    I stayed for three weeks in Jean’s flat. The flat was exactly as described in the listing. Jean welcomed me to the flat when I arrived, and took a few minutes to show me around. The flat is in a very quiet development, within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the centre of Penicuik and a short drive to Tesco.

    The apartment was a perfect base for visiting our daughter at the University of Edinburgh and exploring the local area. There are some lovely walks very close by in the Pentland Hills. The bus into Edinburgh was convenient, although a little slow (allow an hour). The apartment itself was very clean and cosy and had everything we needed. Altogether a lovely stay and we would love to return.

    Nice spread flat. But alot of room taken up with antiques & books. Or to put it interesting decor. Would stay again with full pillows & a shower needed in main bath. Or a pail in tub at least!

    I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jean is such a nice person and collected us from the bus stop when we arrived. She gave us lots of helpful information and even kindly met me in Edinburgh after I'd left my flask in her car. The property itself is really lovely, and in a very nice and peaceful location. We came for the Fringe and used to get buses to and from Penicuik which worked out well. It was really nice to return to the peace and quiet of Penicuik after the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. We'll definitely stay again next time we come for the Fringe. Thank you so much Jean. You're a gem!

    We enjoyed our 3 nite stay in this charming home out in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It was clean quiet and close to the bus stops. Our host was very helpful. I would recommend that having your own car would be very helpful as the bus schedules must assume you know the city.

    An amazing host who was there to welcome us, in the loveliest town. A very smart flat that was perfect for us as a hub, all the amenities needed and at a very reasonable price. The only downside is the lack of taxi availability and the buses can be quite long, but this is no fault of host or property. Just book your transport well in advance! Would 100% stay again if visiting edinburgh and wanted to be away from the hustle.and bustle
