St Margaret's Cottage is a cosy self-catering accommodation located in Edinburgh, Scotland, near Portobello on the east side. The cottage can sleep up to four people and features an open plan living/dining area, fully fitted kitchen, two bedrooms (one double, one twin), and a bathroom. One well-behaved dog is allowed with prior arrangement and an additional fee of £25 per stay. The property has been recently refurbished with a new kitchen, bathroom with a walk-in shower, and outdoor firepit for BBQs.
The cottage is ideally situated for exploring the city of Edinburgh, the nearby beach, and the surrounding countryside. Portobello, where the cottage is located, is a neighborhood in Edinburgh known for its rural setting and proximity to the beach. Nearby attractions include Edinburgh Castle, Royal Mile, Edinburgh Zoo, Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, and Royal Commonwealth Pool. The cottage offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to both urban and natural attractions.
Guests are encouraged to bring their own dog bedding and towels, as pets are not allowed on furniture or beds and should not be left unattended in the property. The owners have made improvements to the property during lockdown, including painting the front, adding new furniture, fencing, and a gravelled outdoor area with Scottish pebbles. The removal of large conifer trees in the back garden has made the space sunnier, and a new firepit allows for cosy outdoor lounging. St Margaret's Cottage provides a comfortable and convenient base for a relaxing holiday in Edinburgh.
Self-catering cottage holidays in the UK and Ireland can still be a green option. You can have the comforts of home and the flexibility to do what you want; when you want - without the hassles of air travel!
