Everything. After 2 weeks driving around in Scotland, I can say this was the best hotel we experienced. You can walk to the city centre or take a bus. The bed is super comfortable (best one we had). The room is well decorated and big enough. And the staff is very friendly and professional. Go the pub next door, you won't be disappointed :) In short: we loved it.

Our group totally love our stay here. The owners/host are such a lovely couple, and always very accommodating to our questions and needs.

We visited Peggyslea Farm immediately after arriving from the airport, and it was the perfect start to our trip. The house is extremely clean, the room is spacious, and the bathroom is amazing .. it had everything we needed. The view is stunning, peaceful, and exactly what we hoped for. The most precious part of our stay was Aneeth and her family. They were incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive, and they made us feel so welcome and cared for. The walk around the farm and into the woods was beyond words ,peaceful, safe, and beautiful. This place is highly recommended, especially for girls and solo travellers, as it feels very safe. Breakfast was homemade so delicious. Peggyslea Farm is about 40 minutes outside Edinburgh and absolutely worth the trip for anyone looking for a peaceful and special stay in nature. Tip: If you’re coming from the airport, take an Uber … it’s super convenient.
