Glenarch House

Comfortable, well presented and the location is spot on for access to Edinburgh

Nothing

Het is een rustige sprookjesachtige locatie met veel groen en een mooi ingerichte kamer. Er is nagedacht over de sfeer.

Eventueel een kookpitje en afzuiging zou prettig zijn.

Heerlijk om een prachtige kamer binnen te stappen waar klassieke muziek al zachtjes voor je speelt.

ontbreken van ontbijt mogelijkheden

Such a beautiful house and surrounding garden, and our apartment was outstanding with so much thought put into it and many little details. We loved it.

Beautiful grounds

Location was good and parking. Overall it met our needs for the weekend very clean and well maintained this was a second visit to the home. Nice little touches with a starter breakfast for when you arrive, and towels were changed daily.

Het zeer fraaie pand gelegen op een heel mooie locatie. Ideaal om Edinburgh te bezoeken.

Ondanks de aanduiding van Kingsize was het bed maar 1,5 meter breed. We hadden een kamer met apart zit- en woongedeelte geboekt, maar kregen een Studio toegewezen. De hoeveelheid bestek en glazen. Van alles maar in 2-voud. Je blijft afwassen.

A spacious room with a stunning bathroom. Set on a beautiful sprawling property. An easy walk to the bus for transit into the Royal Mile and all the interesting places in Edinburgh.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

Glenarch House was perfect for a couple (aged 60), who spent all day i the town centre, busing around, walking in the festival city among thousands and thousands of people. Coming back (easy by bus 3) to Glenarch house with its quiet surroundings, our own "apartment/studio", where we could just relax and sit outside with a glass of wine - just perfect! We tried to book two more nights, but seemed like it was booked. We could really stay longer, so I regret I booked only two nights in the first place. 5 minutes walk to busstop and small café. Bus to/from towncenter every 10-15 minutes. Modern bathroom, lovely big bed, TV, radio, waterboiler (coffee and tea available). We actually liked that there was no meals, because then we could visit a cosy cafe near town in the morning, find nice places for every meal - and just plan our day in town. We loved our stay! Thank you! You have a lovely place, perfect for us.

Nichola gave us a delightful welcome. The information already printed out was superb, making allowances for people with less knowledge of using a phone. The use of the busses into Edinburgh worked very well. The box of fudge was a lovely touch and my favourite. The location was peaceful and therapeutic. Thank you very much and we wish you well, From Beverley and Richard Broad.

There wasn't anything to dislike.

A modern, super comfortable and luxurious accommodation unit tastefully decorated including a bedroom, a living room with kitchenette and a spacious bathroom. Located in a large and beautiful family mansion. Ideal location as a base for trips to Edinburgh and the region, a few minutes drive from the train station to Edinburgh, so that within half an hour you can reach the center of Edinburgh, without having to get involved in driving and parking in it. Nicola, the owner, is charming and helpful. Bottom line, a perfect place to stay in the Edinburgh area !!!

Amazing venue. Peaceful. Secure. Room quality outstanding. Exceptional bathroom. Perfect welcome. Easy access. Good access to local amenities

Nothing. All amazing

It was an amazing hideaway.. and Nicola was so lovely. It is near the train station and bus. Nicola told us how to get about and she was spot on. We were in an annex attached to the main house and it was spotless. I definitely recommend.

Nothing, as it is just beautiful. My only question about it was , I thought we were actually in the house. I obviously didn't read the properly properly description. But it didn't disappoint

Een sprookjesachtige locatie. Echt een paradijs. Super vriendelijk stel van wie dit was!

Perfect location, beautifully set away from the road by the river in a very peaceful and tranquil setting. Even extended by a night as we loved it so much! The room was extremely comfortable and the shower was amazing! The owners were absolutely lovely even when I got a drone stuck in their tree… Will be back!

N/A

Secluded, peaceful, immaculately presented and comfortable.

Zero complaints.

Stayed here for a work trip. Stunning house in a great location. The bed was very comfortable, whole room was clean and cosy. Will definitely visit again in the summer months to explore the grounds.

Found a real gem! We had such a lovely stay and we're looking forward to our next visit. Great location, easy access to Edinburgh, nice pub restaurant nearby, set in beautiful surroundings. Staff are so extremely helpful and friendly. Bathroom is incredible.... wow!!! That's one of the most stylish bathrooms I've seen. Loved the little gift of the scottish tablets and biscuits. Handy little fridge was a nice touch. Good value for money. Would highly recommend this beautiful guesthouse.

Peaceful and relaxing absolutely perfect for what we needed. Super comfy bed too I wanted to take it with me.

Wonderful cosy place that is full of character. It was so peaceful and quiet but still very close to Edinburgh and other things to do. Went for a relaxing stay as part of a spa trip and it didn't disappoint. Can't wait to stay here again.

Een schitterend landhuis met mooi onderhouden tuinen. Heerlijk rustig aan de rand van een klein stadje. Prima rechtstreekse busverbinding naar Edinburgh. Bedden die uitnodigen tot uitslapen en een heerlijke douche. Zeer schoon en ruim.

Ik heb niets kunnen vinden wat tegenviel.

Beautiful location and convenient for Edinburgh with good transport links.

Absolutely nothing although a few more kitchen items would be useful.

Location was beautiful and hidden away from traffic and road noise down its own wooded driveway. The rooms are all separate and we were not aware of anyone else at the location. The gardens were were well tended with sweet peas at the entrance door - truly lovely!

L endroit est magnifique ... jardin et maison Le très bon accueil de Nicola et Ben

Das Studio hat unsere Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen. Es war einfach wundervoll eingerichtet, Insgesamt sehr hochwertig ausgestattet und makellos sauber. Wir fühlten uns von der ersten Sekunde sehr willkommen Die Gastgeber sind ausgesprochen nett. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort buchen.

Excellent location with lots to do nearby. Beautiful grounds even saw a deer in the garden. Nice pubs and restaurants nearby. Excellent public transport service into Edinburgh saves on expensive parking fees. All essentials you need in room Nice people run Glenarch house.

Nothing

Great communication to arrange a late and contact-free check-in. Useful to access Edinburgh as close to both train station and bus stop, but really quiet and calm, so a nice escape from the city (especially during the festival!). Probably better to drive there due to location, but would be accessible without either by walking, or taking a taxi from the station. Clean, well equipped studio apartment. Nice little extras left, including breakfast items and some biscuits. Nicely decorated and fresh.

The grounds were lovely to wander around. Nicola greeted us as we arrived and made sure we knew to contact her if we needed anything. The room was perfect, the bed was very comfortable, the layout of the room made it feel very homely and the facilities in the room had everything you could need for a short or long term stay. Your own private access to the room from the courtyard was an added bonus. All in all, it was as perfect a stay as it could be and I highly recommend booking a stay here and I will in the future.

There is nothing to put here as there were absolutely no faults at all.

We really enjoyed our stay at Glenarch House and can truly recommend it. The service was amazing! It was a stunning house and perfect accommodation for our trip. Loved it!!!

Everything was absolutely perfect!

Everything was perfect, exactly what we needed after a day in the city. Tranquil, gorgeous, easily accessible and lovely hosts

Lovely hosts and lovely home! Our room (the studio) had a small kitchenette and on-suite bath. The room was modern, very clean and quiet. One awakens to the birds gently chirping and singing in the morning! The bed was cozy and comfortable. There are towel warmers and heated floors in the bathroom. One can use either the tub, rain shower head or personal shower wand for bathing. A heated and lighted mirror add a nice touch to the bathroom, with a built in shelf area that can accommodate all of your toiletries. Our hosts were warm, welcoming and very helpful in finding a late evening place to dine for our adult group of four (we had two rooms). Morning pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit and Nespresso coffee are another nice touch. The location is convenient to the Eskbank train station, 4 stops from the Edinburgh Waverly train station. We left our rental car on site (parking is free) and took the train into Edinburgh each day. The round trip fare was a bit more than L6 each person. We would be pleased to stay here again!

This beautiful home is set in tranquil grounds on the banks of a river. The room we stayed in was wonderful. The location is fabulous, offering train, bus or car access to Edinburgh, whilst stay well away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Surrounded by quaint villages with excellent food options. Including the Justinlee Pub, which is 5 min walk up the road. I would highly recommend this property to everyone.

Beautiful spot, close to our event venue (Restoration Yard), in beautiful grounds.

Great location (for us - we were within walking distance of our granddaughter who had just been born!). Lovely countryside around (the house is next to a river)

A full Scottish breakfast with black pudding, haggis 'n 'neeps would be nice - but wait, there's a coffee shop within easy walking distance... you'll appreciate the Constitutional!!

A family home in an absolutely beautiful location. rentable annexes which were very well equipped and very cozy. all mod cons and very new/clean bathroom/facilities. suited our needs perfectly as family we were visiting lived very nearby. would hhighly recommend.

Lovely rooms in a beautiful property and grounds, so comfortable and a gorgeous bathroom! Had a wonderful stay exploring Edinburgh and the local area.

Beautiful

A little corner shop would have been nice

Glenarch House is a beautiful country estate located just outside Dalkeith on a private drive next to a small river. It’s very private hence quiet. Our hosts Nicola & Ben were very attentive & assisted us with some extra attention we required. Our stay was very nice, the sightseeing was interesting & the restaurants very good. We loved Edinburgh and would like to return this area and Glenarch House in the future.

Fabulous setting and the cleanest room we have ever stayed in. Very peaceful area and friendly owners on site. Easy walk to nearest retauarant / bar.

Nothing !

Location

Very expensive for lack of facilities and comfort.

We had a great stay at Glenarch House which is very quiet and in the same time close enough to Edinburg, easy to get to by train (20mn). The studio room was very confortable and comfy with all the facilities you need. Spacious and clean bathroom Glenarch House is a gorgeous property with a stunning garden. And, ice on the cake, Nicola our host was very kind, friendly and helpful.

We had such a great stay here, bed was so comfy and that bath! So amazing and relaxing after a long day exploring Edinburgh.

I can't fault anything about our experience here.

The host was very kind and helpful, you couldn't ask for any more. The area was so quiet and nice it's exactly what we needed. Would recommend to anyone.

We didn't stay there long enough :)

The bathroom genuinely made my jaw drop! The tea and coffee was a nice touch too. The guide has some great suggestions for things to do nearby! Really enjoyed my stay and would stay again!

The driveway is a bit bumpy! But it's okay if you take it slow

exceptional location and very very comfortable

I appreciate that the owners do not serve full breakfast services, but a a very basic one really could make a huge difference.

Really friendly host who provided me a room at the very last minute after my original accommodation provider let me down. Lovely quiet spot and a beautiful room with all the facilities you would expect. After a long day this was a real treat to come to and get some excellent rest.

Gorgeous property, well designed room. Love the bathroom and the relaxing vibe. Perfect for solo or family. It’s a cab ride away from the center.

Very comfy bed, easy to get to Edinburgh on the bus

Our room was lovely and comfortable, with plenty of tea and coffee, great space to sit outside, and a spacious and clean bathroom.

The grounds were stunning. The property was lovely. The studio we occupied was just the right size for a couple. Had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Idilic location and gorgeous place

The pictures showed a small kitchen area but that must have been a different room… no plates or bowls or anything for eating at all - not ideal

Simply beautiful house and gardens. Lovely, good-sized studio; very well equipped and tastefully decorated. Friendly and helpful owner. I will be back.

The location

As a b and b, we only had 5 pods for the coffee machine for a 2 day stay. No kitchen facility as the other room next to us had. We never saw the owners again to ask if all was OK and if we needed anything.

The room was quiet, the bed comfortable and the shower good

The room was tiny and overpriced

On the plus side the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was good, however the description of the accommodation on TripAdvisor and other websites is inaccurate and misleading. I found the accommodation on TripAdvisor when searching for a B&B near Gilmerton. The photos of the property on TripAdvisor and other websites showed a lovely breakfast room and spacious bedroom. It would appear, however, that the owners have changed their business model and no longer provide breakfast, but the information on various websites in relation to this has not been updated. The accommodation we were given was simply a small room, with small double bed and shower room. No facilities for self catering, no breakfast option and room not serviced during our stay. I would not expect to pay B&B / Hotel prices for a basic room only facility.

It was more than we ever expected … gorgeous property & accomodation . Very comfortable . A quiet retreat if you want to just relax & reflect . Close to Edinburgh ( 20 minute train ride ) for a day trip from Glenarch House . Would recommend the train to Waverley station in Edinburgh . It’s a self catering property , so will need to work out meals for yourselves . Morrisons ( a supermarket) is relatively close for grocery shopping .

If there was a cooking hob , it would have been perfect .Otherwise , really nothing I did not like 😊

Location was excellent. Tucked away, surrounded by a large well kept garden making the property quiet and private. The room was a in a separate coach house annex with its own little patio area. Good coffee and tea making facilities and a small fridge.

The lock on the entrance door worked from the inside but not the outside. Needs attention. Otherwise everything was great.

It was convenient with the train into Edinburgh if you had a car. Clean & comfortable.

Cold shower in the morning and the heaters went off about 8pm.

Nice and quiet room. Great location, beautiful house, and premises. The host is very welcoming and even replaced the microwave for us

The room was nice but the facilities would benefit from some improvement. We spent 2 nights there during which we faced some issues with: The microwave was not functioning properly (the issue was quickly resolved by the host), and one of 3 lights in the bathroom burnt out. Almost all the food we put into the fridge turned to ice. We also spent one evening without hot water. Wi-fi was slow and unstable. Finally, there are no power sockets near the bed, so phones and laptops had to be charged elsewhere (possibly meant for a digital detox).

Nice and secluded

Everything.

Nothing

Glenarch House is in a great location, a beautiful gem close to Edinburgh. We liked that it was close to the Eskbank train station (25 mins walk) which easily takes you to other beautiful towns of the Scottish Borders. We really enjoyed the food recommendations from the host, in particular The Sun Inn, The Cavaliere and the Restoration Yard.

The quietness, the gardens, the room was amazing

There was nothing I didn't like

Superb setting and location near to Dalkeith Country Park was a bonus

comfortable room with everything you could want, in a lovely situation

Thought for the room rate, it really should include breakfast

The rooms were very modern, clean and the beds extremely comfortable

The location was surprising! It was like you were in the middle of no where!

The shower could do with being updated. The hot was cold and the cold was hot. There wasn't an inbetween with temperatures unfortunately. Bit of an awkward squeeze with one shower head not able to move to angle it in order to wash your hair without the soap being rinsed at the same time and having the other shower head in you knees. Maybe having plugs next to one of the sides of the bed for charging.

Location, beauty, wonderfull hosts, and facilities were top class...will definitely book again....❤️❤️👍

fantastic accommodation and very friendly owner Ben!

nothing ……

A beautiful setting integrating the countryside with the city , rooms are clean and tidy and modern and I would certainly use this place again 👌

Such a beautiful property, grounds and surrounding area. Even saw deer in the garden! My room was very clean and comfortable, the shower was powerful and the water was nice and hot. The shampoo and shower gel was good quality and smelt amazing. The hosts were also friendly and available when I needed a milk topup.

The WiFi was good 95% of the time but a little intermittent on my last morning.
