“Driftwood Cottage”
Conveniently situated in the High Street in East Linton, near pub, shops and park. Easy access into Edinburgh via train from Drem or North Berwick. Gallery of photos must be a few years old as fire pit is burnt through and garden needs a bit of TLC. Extractor fan not working resulting in smoke alarm going off. I noticed this had been an issue in previous reviews. Plenty of books, games for rainy days. Spacious accommodation for 7. Will be booking again.

Response from the manager Dear Andrea, I am so sorry the heating was not on for your arrival . It is a very efficient system and it normally only takes 10 mins to heat up . I can see you had a last minute booking and we offered you a discount , you paid £565.00 for your weeks accommodation. The builders have finished next door now and so parking should not be a problem for future guests. I am so sorry they had parked in front of the cottage and this was a problem for you kind regards Gillian
