Wonderful homely and welcoming place.....

Stayed at The Gables for a weekend in August 2025. Had a wonderful experience, and the convenient location of The Gables made our lives easy. The hostess, Mary, was an absolute diamond. She greeted us warmly and provided us with a wonderful cooked breakfast each morning. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Would highly recommend a stay at The Gables for anyone looking for somewhere homely and welcoming within a short drive to Edinburgh.

The home is absolutely charming! Mary and Donald were so sweet and helpful, we felt very warmly welcomed. The room was a bit small, but the bathroom was large and comfortable! Breakfast was filling and fresh, it’s clear lots of love and care go into it. The only issue we ran into was frequency of buses and trains, but if you’re willing to walk for 20 minutes to the train station you can get into Edinburgh within an hour.

The house was built in the 1870's. It has lovely charm. They are so very kind and accommodating. My room was nice and clean and comfortable. There's bus stops near by that you can catch to the middle of town and a train station to take you to Edinburgh that's 20 minutes from the house. Everything is convenient. Highly recommend!
