There were 11 of us; my husband, me our 3 adult children their spouses, and 3 grand children. We specifically chose this property for the 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The day we arrived, we were notified one of the bathrooms didn’t work and that the owner didn’t want to “cancel” on us so they never called. No notice, no choice to look elsewhere, and we paid quite a bit more for a 3 bathroom house. It was an inconvenience to say the least. I’ve left 2 messages for the owner requesting a call and assured we would hear from them. It’s been a week and nothing. We own a VRBO and would never handle a situation this way. A credit back for lack of a bathroom would have been offered from day 1 for our guests. I hate to leave a bad review on properties as I know owners work hard to accommodate, not the case here. The property was a bit run down and hardly no supplies for guests. We do not recommend this property and very disappointed with the owners lack of response.

Eight ladies for the weekend = laughs giggles and music! Great property very comfortable lots of space. Lots of crockery etc. Enormous fridge freezer for those bottles of fizz. Fantastic

My family (8 adults & 3 children) had a truly delightful stay at the Lochside House. While there were a few minor queries, they were swiftly resolved by the extremely helpful property manager. We, honestly, couldn't have had a better place to stay & would thoroughly recommend this location to anyone considering renting the property.

This house was a great, quiet location for our group of 9. There was ample common space to hang out and the kitchen was well stocked for our needs. It is obviously an older building, but we had hoped for a cleaner space. There were some water damage and insect issues which were communicated to the property manager. Overall, it was a fine place to stay if you are spending most of your time exploring the great city of Edinburgh.

Amazing location. Heart of the city yet you feel like you are in the countryside. Lovely communal space. The large glass windows out to the private garden are amazing. However parts of the property are a little tired and could do with a refresh.

Finding a place for 8 adults (4 women/4 men) to comfortably stay for six days can be a challenge. Fortunately, this house was everything and more that it was represented to be! It is so very spacious and laid out in a way that if you wanted some quiet/alone time you could be in your room and not hear what's going on in the living areas. We never felt "cramped" together. And, the backyard is a great place to hang out! The kitchen a has plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. However, you will need to bring your own spices, cooking oils, etc... It is located in a beautiful/quaint area far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city center of Edinburgh but only about a 12-15 drive there. There's a wonderful pub/restaurant - The Sheep Heid Inn - right around the corner (easy, quick walk) and a store for groceries about a mile away. We absolutely loved the house and area and highly recommend it!!!

This manor is in an ideal location, within walking distance to a great pub, gardens, Arthur’s Seat and a quick trip into the city of Edinburgh. The home had plenty of room & the check in/check out process was easy. As avid world travelers however, I unfortunately have many recommendations to improve this property for others. Upon arrival, we noted a large hole in the ground near the entrance gate, >4 ft x 4 ft, covered with wood, and this could be a hazard. In the foyer, there was a large amount of dust, a pair of socks and Uno cards in the nook of the staircase. The glass doors out back were covered in fingerprints and smudges. The odor in the back bedroom on the 1st floor was so unpleasant and pull down shades over the sliding glass door that would not lift. The chairs in many of the rooms, including the dining room, had dried food & so many stains that they had been covered with random blankets to hide it. There are water leak marks in the ceilings, in the the back bedroom (1st floor) & in all the bathrooms, including mold in the 1st floor bathroom ceiling, which is a health risk. The toilet in one of the main bathrooms upstairs was unusable since it was slanted to one side & not secure to hold, when sitting. Lastly, the unkept backyard with no attention to landscaping, leaf covered water feature & table that was dilapidated, was very disappointing. For such a beautiful manor, I was somewhat surprised. I really home improvements are made as this home has potential!

The house was situated in a beautiful picturesque area- the house itself was nicely appointed and rooms were clean and comfortable. For feedback: beds were a bit smaller than described, the showers needed a bit of attention - there was mildew on the tile walls and shower attachments. Also. each bathroom needs waist bins. Otherwise it was a lovely weekend and house.
