Description

Midkinleith Farm Holiday Cottage is a one bedroom self catering cottage above the village of Currie to the south of the city of Edinburgh. It boasts tremendous views of the Firth of Forth and the three bridges and is fully self contained. As well as the twin bedroom there is a sofa bed in the lounge which sleeps two, a fully equipped kitchen-diner and a lounge with TV, DVD and Wi-Fi. The bathroom has a shower and bath and there is also a separate toilet. Midkinleith Farm is well suited to the walker or biker as well as a visitor wanting to go to the Festival.

Getting around

Take a 44 bus from the bottom of the hill and you could be on Princes Street in 20 minutes. Take a 45 for the Royal Mile. There is a Park and Ride at Hermiston for any other access into the city, including the airport and Waverley Station. Walk along the Water of Leith into the city if you wish. It would take you about an hour and a half.

Normally We will hand you the keys on arrival, and be a presence should you need anything. However, we also realise that you are at Midkinleith to relax and would not want to be disturbed unnecessarily.

Response from the owner Dear Kim. I have only just seen the review you left about your stay with us at mid kinleith last October. I have to say I was shocked and I'm very sorry that you had such a bad experience. The condition of the kitchen has never been mentioned before as a cause for concern. And I can only apologise for the misunderstanding when meeting us on the two occasions you mention. Best regards Richard
