Beautiful garden. Cosy beds. We very much appreciated the fruit, coffee and milk that were provided at the beginning of our stay.
The kitchen was well equipped.

We had a very good time in Green cottage, a lovely little house with a beautiful entrance and garden. Our child was thrilled to have so many toys to play with, and the great lounge/kitchen area is extremely pleasant to be in.The kitchen had everything we could want, as we always cook when we travel.
Bus stops are conveniently located close to the house and take you straight to Old and New Town. There's also the botanical garden close by, and a great little shore walk by the sea. It's a quiet and nice neighbourhood.
On a side note, for people using the sofa bed, it could be useful to have blinds on the ceiling windows to stop the light from coming in too early in the morning.
Thank you for a lovely stay!

This house was perfect for our family of four reunion. It was clean and comfortable. All the appliances worked. It is a couple of blocks from several bus routes, which was convenient for us. It was actually better than we were expecting. We would recommend this property to others.

We've stayed at Green Cottage a few times now when visiting relatives. It's a great option for us because the larger than average central living space and little garden means the kids don't feel too hemmed in. It's cosy and clean and we like the location. Thanks again.

A great place to discover Edinburgh. We stayed at the Cottage as a family of five persons. The interior is both cosy and tasteful, the kitchen fully equipped, and the place is very quiet and located in a friendly neighbourhood. Bus connections to the city center are convenient. In sum: Very recommendable.

We love how secluded and spacious the cottage is. It's great and very practical for us with two little children. The enclosed garden area with doors out to the patio is a big plus. We got the bus a lot, which was easy with plenty of options.

Made a few recommendations to Greatbase Apartments on how things could be improved. I received a positive response to this and hope that action will be taken for the sake of future guests. I also reported that cleanliness was not up to expectations so they will look into that as well. The location in Trinity was absolutely ideal for us and we do have relations who may use Green Cottage in the future.

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the cottage! We were welcomed by a lovely seasonal pumpkin display outside and home made cake inside! The cottage was clean with lovely touches through out. It has excellent bus links into the centre of Edinburgh, the area was quiet and it was nice and cosy having the log burner on at night. My children (4 and 2) didn’t want to leave. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed here as our daughter was moving into her new home around the corner.
The main room is very comfortable and spacious.
The bedrooms are a bit tight, especially the one with two single beds.
The shower was great!
Well equipped kitchen - especially glasses! So catering for families worked well.
Owner introduced herself, and gave recommendations of places to eat - which was nice!
Easy parking on the road.
Garden pleasant but weather allowed limited use.

We have been coming to Edinburgh for years but this was such a find. It felt like we were in our own private hideaway and yet we were a bus ride from the city centre and a short walk from lots of hustle and bustle. In fine weather it is the most lovely bold hole to sit in the garden or open up all the doors. We rebooked within hours of arriving and can't wait to get back for a winter experience in December.

After the 'COVID-19 lock-down' this was a very welcome break in a lovely stylish and comfortable cottage with easy parking yet close enough to walk to several city attractions.
The location is peaceful with the added bonus of a very attractive garden, with comfortable places to sit out when the sun shines.
The owner was very helpful and Greatbase had made very good provision for the additional hygiene requirements.
Edinburgh as always a delight.

Ideal location - nice and quiet residential area, but walking distance to beach, cafes, restaurants etc. Easy (and free) to park, 2 mins away from a bus route. We used the cottage as a base to explore Queensferry, the Fife coast, East Lothian beaches, as well as the city itself.

Cottage is beautiful - really well laid out, with all the amenities we required and spotless.

Many thanks

This is our second stay in this property as it is super convenient being only a minute's walk away from family living in Edinburgh. The cottage is warm, clean, comfortable and quiet - lots of hot water, and logs for the log burner. Plus a decorated Christmas tree! The bedrooms are fairly small, but the living/dining space is huge! The owner has provided just about everything you could need. Overall a great place to stay.

This two bedroomed, well appointed and equipped cottage accommodation enjoys a secluded location within the garden grounds of the owner's property. There are two smallish bedrooms, one double and one twin bedded, and the large lounge/ kitchen/diner is equipped with all modern appliances and is tastefully and comfortably furnished. It provides an ideal haven for those who want to be close enough to the city to enjoy all it's attractions, but who also wish to retire to a sanctuary of peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. There is a regular bus service into the city at the end of the road where there is also a small but well stocked convenience store. A taxi to/from the city costs around £12. We were met on arrival by the keyholder/agent and given a briefing on the amenities and facilities and there is a contact number should any problems arise. In summary, this cosy cottage is ideal for those who want reasonable access to the city but who also want to enjoy some privacy and a good night's sleep in a quiet, residential area. We just loved it!

The cottage is very nice and attractive. It had all of the amenities that were promised. There was even milk in the refrigerator and the necessities to make coffee and tea. It is in a quiet, safe feeling neighborhood. It was only a short walk to the bus stop to get to the center of town. The young lady who met us at check in was courteous and helpful. There is a grocery and a pharmacy at the corner within walking distance which was convenient. The only drawback was a lack of a place to put your luggage in the small twin bedroom.

We had a comfortable stay at Green Cottage. The location is great for families, and easily accessible from the city. The bedrooms are compact and light on storage, but fine for a short stay. Kitchen was well appointed, and big open plan living area is excellent.

From the beginning, we were met promptly, given a tour, explained the easiest ways to visit the area, as well as locations of local groceries, pubs etc. The cottage was delightful, a great place to return to after a day of sightseeing. Very convenient location and close to bus stops to carry you wherever you wanted to go.

The cottage was adorable, but not comfortable for four adults. The website shows only the grounds, living room and kitchen. The two bedrooms are not shown and were a disappointment. Only one bedroom is suitable for two adults. The second bedroom consists of two twin beds with minimal room to walk between the beds. The mattresses are not proper for twin beds, I have had better mattresses at summer camp. We had to keep our suitcases in the living area and it was not practical to dress or get ready for the day having no space in the small bedrooms. I think the bedroom situation should be disclosed so bookings can be made without disappointment.

Gorgeous little cottage ~pleasant enough stay during our time at the Artists' Book Market Edinburgh. Bright, open living/dining/kitchen space with all that anyone would need during a short stay. Two bedrooms ~ on the small side with limited hanging/storage facility. Small double in one room, two small singles in the other room. Somewhat dark and lacking in natural light and, due to heavy rainfall during the night, very noisy on the dormer windows. Some nice touches ~ wood burning stove, fresh fruit and cake on arrival, and a small library of good books. Somewhat overpriced ~ in keeping with "rugby weekends". About 15 minutes drive from Princes Street. Good free parking facility on-site. Beautiful garden and seating area. Good size bathroom although water for the shower was just warm, and some shelves/soap trays would be helpful.

Just returned from staying at Green Cottage in Edinburgh through Greatbase. This is a fantastic cottage with a garden in the Trinity area which is not too far from the Botanical Gardens. Not in the center of town but the bus no 23 goes directly there and is very convenient. This was our fourth stay here and we will definitely return. There are so many extras provided by the owner, even a Christmas tree! The sitting/dining/kitchen area is extremely big and there is a wonderful log burner. The only downside is maybe the size of the two bedrooms, but then again they are only to sleep in. Would recommend this Cottage to anyone.

Overall, this cottage was a pleasure to stay in. It was warm, welcoming, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was very well equipped. It was a special bonus to find that the cottage and immediate surroundings were so quiet, just what's needed for a relaxing evening after a day in the city. We especially appreciated the fact that there was a generous amount of wood for the wood burning stove. Our only negative comment is that the second bedroom (next to the bathroom) is far too small for two beds. There was nowhere to store clothes, and almost no room to move, once through the door. It would be a big improvement to make this a single room with a chest of drawers.

Green Cottage is a spacious bolt hole in the middle of Edinburgh. Ideally placed for the Botanic Gardens and a short bus journey from the centre of town. The property has off road parking and there is a large supermarket within 1-2 miles.

Facilities in the cottage are excellent. Dishwasher, washing machine, microwave as well as a the usual cooker, fridge and kettle. WiFi, TV etc make this a perfect location for 4-6 people. Highly recommended.

We loved Green Cottage so much when we stayed here before that we didn't even consider staying anywhere else on our next visit to Edinburgh. The personal touches such as the table set for tea on arrival and complimentary tin of shortbread were much appreciated at the end of a long journey.

Our adult children and four year old grandson joined us at the weekend and there was ample space to seat six of us comfortably round the log burner and dining table. Green cottage really is a warm and welcoming place to stay. It offers everything you might need for a great base to stay in Edinburgh including the logs! I cannot recommend it highly enough

We chose this cottage on the outskirts of the city, rather than an apartment during the busy Festival/Fringe period in August. Fringe/Festival causes the rental price seems to double then. Hence value for money rating just OK.
There are 3 buses which stop nearby which take you conveniently to city centre locations. Local information, maps and guides, which were provided, proved most useful.
The cottage was cosy, well furnished and comfortable. Peaceful and safe location after the buzz and noise of the city by day.
Tea, coffee etc in abundant supply, also half empty milk bottle in fridge, presumably from the occupants who departed that morning. We did use it on arrival. We waited all week for the home baking to appear :(

A lovely place to stay, and a nice 15 minute walk to Granton shore to stretch your legs.

Welcoming and comfortable, a cottage like feel in the city. Very quiet and a short bus ride or longish walk to the city.
Small bedrooms but plenty of living space. Well equipped kitchen with good appliances. Imagine it would be cosy in winter. Outdoor space a bonus -dinner in the garden was very pleasant.
Would recommend.

Nice place. On the map it seems far away from the centre, but in reality it isn't. Good bus services to town, not far from Botanical Gardens and Stockbridge. Very quiet, homely. Lovely touch to be welcomed with a cake. This must be nice in summer when you can use the garden!

Absolutely fantastic location for us to visit family locally. Amazing extras including a beautiful Christmas tree, mince pies, sparkling wine ... The cottage was like a home from home and the log burner was a luxury. Easy parking on the street made it very attractive to us. Lovely big walk in shower room and lots of fluffy towels. The bedrooms are slightly on the small side but the very large sitting room/kitchen makes up for that. A very comfortable holiday cottage which we hope to return to!

We had a perfect stay in the cottage. From the warm welcome to the comfortable accomodation - it was just what we needed. The cottage offers family's an Oasis from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh city centre a short taxi/bus away. We are already planing our return.

From the moment we entered Green Gate Cottage it felt like you had stepped into an Oasis of peace and tranquility, what an haven set in the beautiful and interesting City of Edinburgh. As soon as we entered the cottage we felt the burdens of the mundane of life had lifted. Slept better than at home, we all commented on the comfortable beds, a touch of home comforts along with luxury. Shower fantastic, log burner so homely none of us wanted to go anywhere else. Loved the outlay of the Cottage, toddler came with us and enjoyed the spacious freedom of the Cottage plus was safe in the garden for children with a locked gate. We all did not want to leave and wish we could have had longer. Parking facilities was a big bonus, the city centre access was only about 15 minutes in the car. What a fantastic place to spend with family. Thank you to the owner for the gorgeous banana cake which we all enjoyed. It was a very memorable and special trip thanks to Green Gate Cottage.

Beautiful cottage in a very convenient location for us to visit family and the city. We are looking forward to our next visit over Christmas! The use of the little garden would be lovely in the summer.

Green Cottage is in an excellent location for using the super bus service into Edinburgh. It's a unique cottage which has luxurious fixtures and fittings. We loved the abundance of Harris tweed cushions! The open plan living area is lovely and large. The owner, who lives next door called to offer us anything that we might need at any time during our stay. We would have loved a bath, but managed without one and had a wonderful week in Edinburgh and can't wait to come back.



Perfect cottage for our stay in Edinburgh

We cant fault Green Cottage at all. It felt like home as soon as we walked in. It was the perfect place to come home to late every night after our 6 busy days at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The location outside the busy city centre was just right for us as it was quiet enough to sleep, but the bus stop just outside and the good bus service meant it was as easy as possible to get right into the action in Edinburgh again each day. The cottage was clean, and the living room/kitchen was lovely and spacious.



Great week in Edinburgh

The cottage, location and amenities were excellent and we had a lovely weeks holiday.
Constructive criticism:
- no key for the garden gate so had to leave it open when out.
- double gates appear to be electric and no way of opening to get cars in?
- garden and path in need of cutting back/tidying/sweeping.
- although kitchen well equipped , very few smaller dishes/tins
- no second blind in main bedroom a BIG problem as it got light at 4.45am
Appreciated cake and tea laid for arrival. Thanks

Greengate is a haven within a city! My family and I had a wonderful stay yet again in Greengate. All the wee special touches make it very special indeed! Edinburgh has so much to offer but it's very hard to steal yourself away from the refreshing atmosphere, the comfort and glow from the wood burner in Greengate. Already planning our next trip.

The best equipped cottage I have stayed in.
Many thoughtful provisions.
Stayed over Christmas and was greeted by pretty decorated tree, candles and table decoration.



Perfect.

With our two yr old we needed a good living space so the warm, light and charming kitchen and sitting room was perfect. We look forward to booking in again on our next visit.



Great place.

Green cottage was a great choice for our weekend in Edinburgh. The standard of everything in the cottage is very high - central heating, hot water, kitchen, bathroom, beds, linen, decor - all quality, new fixtures. When you arrive there is whiskey, milk, shortbread, tea, coffee and other bits and pieces so you don't have to rush out for essentials.

The location is a very pretty suburb with a great little shop on the corner which is full of treats. The 23 bus takes you straight to town in about 15 mins. While we were in Edinburgh three different people told us that the 23 is their favourite bus route. I can't say I'd ever considered having a favourite bus route before but after staying in Green Cottage for five days I think the 23 will be mine too. And if you don't like the idea of the bus then it's less than
