Fairytale Property a 20 minute train ride to Edinburgh
We traveled with two kids under four, my spouse, and her parents. The apartment had tons of space and a nice patio as well. This cottage is literally built within the wall of the castle grounds. The very windows you look out to see the ocean and the sheep are built right into the wall. The walk around the property is fantastic. Beautiful rose gardens, herbs everywhere, and more apple trees than you can count. There are many walking trails just outside the castle walls as well. You will definitely need to rent a car if you stay here. The nearest bus stop is a 12 minute walk. So it’s doable, but not ideal if the weather is rainy. The towns around the area are really fun to explore and the restaurants in Aberlady are great. You’ll want to take the train to Edinburgh from Longniddry. It’s only an 8 minute drive to the station and a 20 minute train ride from there to the city center. You’ll love everything about this cottage, the location, and the magic of the grounds.
