Markle Magic

We really enjoyed our stay at Middle Cottage. We felt very much at home. We loved the secluded garden and the peace and quiet of Markle. The simplest shower we have ever experienced!It is a great location to travel from to enjoy the delights of East Lothian. Jan and Brian were extremely helpful with our travel issues and made sure everything was okay. Many thanks to them. Olivia & Guy

Lovely cottage in peaceful location

The cottage is delightful - very comfortable with quality furnishings and lovely touches throughout. We particularly enjoyed the secluded garden. Highly recommended for a quiet stay in the countryside close to some fabulous golf courses and coastal towns.

A true comfortable home from home!

We wanted a comfortable relaxing break away for New Year and that is what we got. Whilst the photos show a beautifully and well furnished cottage with everything you need, they cannot convey the warm feeling of the cottage.........much helped by the warm welcome we got on arrival when Jan welcomed us and showed us in, with the log burner already lit. Very easy access to the coast and villages of East Lothian, and into Edinburgh by train for a day out, followed by a home cooked meal and relaxing evening in front of the TV with lots of channels to choose from. Unlimited wood for the log burner included, but too cold to examine garden. But beautiful peaceful and easy to find location. Would definitely return to this very special place. Thanks for having us!

recommended!

Cottage is big enough for four adults, fine hard shower and even more important: great service! Couches a bit old and low/soft for people with backackes.. Beds are fine, although the springs make noise 😉 Probably also formerly owned. But overall a very pleasant stay!!! Cottage was clean ( cooking ehm fan/exhoust overlooked by cleaner probably) overall. Thick walls so perfect temperature and almost no pesty insects…

Beautiful Quiet Country Setting

Very well kept property inside and out, these folks have put their heart into this cottage with all the little details plus! Beautiful flowered private garden yard area in back, and lovely flowers in front. Very cozy inside with little wood stove. Nice quiet country road to take walks, a wonderful Scottish experience for us!!
