Beautiful highly maintained self catering cottage

L&B S Midlothian, Scotland
Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We have been to this cottage twice and if it's peace, quite and sunshine your looking for then this is the place. Facilities are excellent, clean and maintained to a high standard with modern facilities. Information was spot on regarding location, layout and local attractions. Because of the great customer services received from the owner I have no hesitation in using the property again if available and certainly would recommend it to family and friends.
