ISLAY House, Comfortable home- private garden, in quiet village, near Edinburgh

Islay House is a beautiful, Victorian home in the peaceful village of Pencaitland. Ideally situated for accessing Edinburgh or the golf courses and beaches of East Lothian.

The village has 2 shops, Petrol Station, a new Gastropub - The Winton, opened in Aug, 2022-very busy, would recommend booking, and the Glenkinchie Whisky distillery.

Perfect Location for a relaxing stay with a dog
Everything was as described. The area was ideal to take the dog for long or short walks. Sandra the owner was very welcoming and we even got a starter set for Breakfast. Sandra was so polite and gave us a lift and even picked us up from an appointment with her own car and had an eye on our dog while we were away. So kind!

Perfect Easter Break
What a perfect find for a relaxing break. Sandra was a lovely host, goody packs and many extras were provided. We enjoyed our bottle of fizz in the summer house .. thank you. The house was very clean, all on one level and had everything we needed & more! So many places to visit and lovely walks on the doorstep. We also had really good weather ☀️. Thanks again Sandra

Pleasant Stay
Overall it was a great stay. The hosts were very personable and very willing to help with ideas of what to see and where to eat. Also, the Hosts were very kind and upon our arrival there was a bottle of wine, 2 apples, 2 bananas, package of bagels and shortbread cookies. Milk in the refrigerator along with butter and marmalade. We were disappointed there was not a clothes dryer as mentioned in the listing. When we asked the host about it, she said the dryer is the clothes line. Not sure that qualifies as a dryer. Also being from the desert in Nevada, USA I was cold and the host said the thermostat resets to 18 degrees Celsius or 61 degrees Fahrenheit. Luckily there were several blankets in the living room and I was able to be comfortable. Other than those 2 things everything was great.
