Gardener's House - a traditional stone 3 bedroom house on Arniston Estate

We have stayed at Gardeners House and the cottage's on numerous occasions and just love to return to Arniston estate, Henrietta is always available if you need anything. The setting is just perfect for getting away from everything places nearby to explore or just beautiful walks around the grounds. The Gardeners house is well equipped, the utility is great for sorting the dogs out after a walk and there are all the amenities you need, the house is warm and cosy, beds are comfortable - can’t wait to return again

Everything was perfect. The people there were so helpful when we came in extremely late due to delays in our travel. The house was quaint and so relaxing. I truly am sad we couldn't have stayed longer, but our plans wouldn't allow us. I hope to return again and stay for longer. I just sat in the living room and enjoyed the peace and quiet each evening. Oh and there were highland cows behind the cottage. It just could not be any better. I also enjoyed reading the history. I am so thankful that someone who loves and appreciates history inherited and preserved the estate. I know it must have been difficult spanning 50 years of restoration. Impressive.

This was our second visit to Gardeners House. The location is ideal as our extended family live locally and are able to visit. The house is large enough to entertain with many family meals prepared and shared at the large dining table. We enjoyed the country walks and bird life. The house is very cosy and warm and feels like home away from home. I would highly recommend a visit.

We always stay at this cottage when we visit Scotland and it is absolutely brilliant. Warm and cosy and Henrietta is a wonderful host. Cant recommend highly enough

This was a first anniversary gift to my daughter and her husband and they had a magical time. They enjoyed peaceful walks through the estate and loved having a real fire to cosy up to. It was Doors Open day on their arrival day and they enjoyed an interesting tour of Arniston House. Many thanks to Henrietta, her mother and the staff that make Arniston such a wonderful Place to stay.

Pet friendly. Plenty of utensils in the kitchen to use. Some areas of dust dotted aroubd, namely lamp shades but otherwise clean and tify. Lovely fires in lunge and dining room. Easy to contact owner when needed and accomodated lighter duvet in main bedroom as too warm.

Great property and we enjoyed our stay But it is really below par in terms of cleanliness. The owners communications were good.

We had a great stay, the kids loved the back yard and the highland cows in the back pasture. The property was beautiful and it was close to Edinburgh. We would stay again.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Gardner’s House!! Henrietta is a host that goes above and beyond for her guests. This was our first trip to Scotland to visit our son studying nearby, so it was a chilly time! The house was cozy and we loved playing cards by the fire in the parlor room. The grounds looked beautiful… we hope to come back when it is warm and we can explore! I highly recommend this vacation home for families. The 4 of us slept comfortably and there would be room for two more as there are 3 bedrooms. Thank you Henrietta and staff for making us feel so welcome!

This was the third time I’ve stayed in cottages on the Arniston estate (I have family in Gorebridge) and I wonder why anyone would want to stay any where else! Gardener’s cottage was truly lovely. We were only 2 people, but didn’t feel like we were rattling around in the place. It was genuinely like staying in a home from home: Heating was just right, WiFi was great, modern TV worked well, the kitchen was a lovely place just to have a coffee at the table and watch the world go by. Because you’re right next to the big house, the drive to and from the cottage is very grand and never fails to make you aware of where you are - in God’s country. Fabulous place. The one thing I would also add is that the owner (Henrietta) has the right balance in “Here if you need me” - information sent before, during and after your stay was timely, clear and concise. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Lovely getaway with family and friends during October holidays at this charming little gem. Sitting on the beautiful grounds of the Arniston Estate, away from hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the city of Edinburgh (we commuted by car). Accommodation itself was very spacious and had everything needed. Enjoyed the views of walled garden while having our breakfast each morning. Communication with the host before the arrival and during our stay was excellent. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant and memorable.

Beautifull place, if you have a car, i would love to rent it again

The grounds are beautiful

I really enjoyed my stay at the Gardener's Cottage. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. There is a lot to see and do in close proximity to the property, and about a 30 minute drive to Edinburgh.

It was a very beautiful cottage in an amazing property, with all comfort inside! And Henrietta is so kind !

Very much enjoyed the charming country setting! Home was well appointed with everything we needed for our visit!
