Lovely house set in beautiful, quiet, gardens with very steep access to Wallaces' Cave in Rosslyn Glen. Very comfortable seating in lounge area. Comfy bedrooms, one double and two twins. Small kitchen which lacked some basic utensils e.g. only two wine glasses for a party of four, and only one small saucepan, hence the loss of a five star rating. Not far from park and ride into Edinburgh. I would highly recommend Gorton House and Cottages.

The best cottage near Edinburgh. Very clean ,fully equipped(new cooker, all kitchen appliances need for meal prep, also iron, hair dryer, garden table and chair and many more) comfy bed with cosy duvet. Feel like our second home. Very quiet location but within 20minutes drive to Edinburgh and plenty of beautiful walks just outside the cottage. Low price compare to other. Highly recommended

Stopped here whilst visiting family in Scotland and was terrifically impressed. The venue is sited in a remote location so there is next to no noise, and is surrounded by green, picturesque countryside.
The property is very dog friendly and has a large enclosed garden so is perfectly safe to allow a dog to play outside.
There is a tv, fridge, cooker and microwave which makes life easier, and a washing machine with a washing line outside in the garden. There are two bedrooms, and a modern shower.
All in all, really enjoyed the day, Sally the host was very responsive and helpful. Would highly

I am so deeply grateful to Joanna for enabling us to host our garden party picnic wedding at Gorton House. What a stunning place in which to create wonderfully happy memories, shared with friends and family. The three cottages together were perfect for our needs, and the gardens, gazebo and views overlooking Roslin Glen were magnificent. Such a special place which was key to help make our wedding such a perfect, magical unforgettable day. Thank you!
