I’m currently working from house 5 days a week so am house most of the time. We have a happy home, which we look after. The house is kept clean and tidy at all times - Well maybe not so much my sons room (haha), but all other areas.
We live on the 37 bus route which takes you into Edinburgh. Edinburgh is around 7 miles away from Loanhead and £1.80 per trip.
My children are well behaved kids, with good manners and both enjoy "talking" and getting to know people.

It really was a nice stay with Louise. We were quite comfortable in the bedrooms. Through no real fault of hers, we weren’t able to use the rest of the house, COVID was the winner. Really understood why we couldn’t use the rest of the house but I suppose that’s the new normal. That’s the only reason for the 4 stars.
We (3 of us) and Louise actually had a few drinks together at the local. Close to the bus stop, 40 mins into the city. Cheers Louise

Louise is lovely as a host! Her house is warm and you can feel a sense of home. She also helps with suggestions for tourists around the city. I had a great time. A great place to stay at!

Louise is just wonderful - she's been very helpful and nice to us. She even came to the bus station to find us. Her house is lovely and we couldn't dream of a better house to stay in for a couple of days in Edinburgh. Thank you Louise!

Clean, cozy, quiet, comfortable house! Highly recommend for students. Everything's perfect in the house and Louise cleans the room for me everyday which is really thankful. Just a little bit far from the city centre. You can take the bus which is located 2 mins away from the house. (^.^)

Our stay at Louise’s was without fault. Louise was exceptionally helpful and we certainly got the impression that nothing was too much hassle. Her home was spotless, cosy and very inviting. We couldn’t have asked for any more and would happily return should another trip to Edinburgh present itself. A 5 star experience.

This guest awarded the host 5 hearts but didn’t leave any comments.
