A sanctuary

Gardner’s house is one of those places where you walk through the front door and feel held by the warmth and beauty of the place. After being there for five minutes, I truly felt that I didn’t ever want to leave. It truly is a peaceful refuge for rest and relaxation.

The host is most responsive, the house spacious and the grounds gorgeous.

We very much enjoyed being at the Gardener’s House on the Arniston Estate for our visit to the Borders. The house was spacious for two people, the facilities replete and the host helpful and responsive. The grounds are a rare find and we enjoyed many a walk.

Idyllic cottage on a beautiful property.

We had a great stay, the kids loved the back yard and the highland cows in the back pasture. The property was beautiful and it was close to Edinburgh. We would stay again.

An fabulous place to stay

We have stayed at Gardeners House and the cottage's on numerous occasions and just love to return to Arniston estate, Henrietta is always available if you need anything. The setting is just perfect for getting away from everything places nearby to explore or just beautiful walks around the grounds. The Gardeners house is well equipped, the utility is great for sorting the dogs out after a walk and there are all the amenities you need, the house is warm and cosy, beds are comfortable - can’t wait to return again

Wonderful weekend stay

This was a first anniversary gift to my daughter and her husband and they had a magical time. They enjoyed peaceful walks through the estate and loved having a real fire to cosy up to. It was Doors Open day on their arrival day and they enjoyed an interesting tour of Arniston House. Many thanks to Henrietta, her mother and the staff that make Arniston such a wonderful Place to stay.

Our Scottish getaway

This was our second visit to Gardeners House. The location is ideal as our extended family live locally and are able to visit. The house is large enough to entertain with many family meals prepared and shared at the large dining table. We enjoyed the country walks and bird life. The house is very cosy and warm and feels like home away from home. I would highly recommend a visit.

An excellent and comfortable property, great to come back to after exploring the delights of Edinburgh. Well located, just 20 minutes from the Park and Ride. A quiet location on a vast estate.

Perfect stay

This holiday home exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to relax and feel at home from the moment you arrive. Its location is simply perfect—peaceful and well-situated, making it easy to enjoy both nature and nearby attractions. One of the highlights is the beautiful, expansive park on this property. It creates a calm, private atmosphere and adds a special charm to the entire experience. The house itself was spotless, clearly very well maintained, and equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and making us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Overall, this is a fantastic place to stay, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-appointed holiday home.

Lovely place to stay

Stayed here for work near Edinburgh Centre. Would rather stay outside of the City, this is a great place to stay. Everything you could wish for. Very peaceful and beautiful location. We have stayed in the cottages on the estate and they are really cosy just what you would like a cottage to be. Gardener's House is set away from these and is a bit grander, but just as cosy.

A magical place to stay

We had a wonderful time at the Gardener’s House at Arniston Estate. The location was convenient to Edinburgh and was a destination on its own. We hiked through the Estate to nearby Temple and enjoyed the forest, sunken gardens and waterfalls. The house was everything we needed for a family of 6. Thank you Henrietta for your hospitality.
