I had a one night stay at the Dovecot and have to say I was delighted with my stay. My large bedroom was at the rear of the property and was very quiet - but I'm sure the front rooms would also have been quiet as the property is set well back from the road. Breakfast was plentiful, with Maggie... More

I came to stay with Maggie and Colin in July 2011 for one night. I stayed pretty much every weeknight for the next year and a half. I have travelled widely and never have I have enjoyed a better or more welcoming experience anywhere in the world. The house is fabulous but as many reviewers have tasted, it is the... More

We were so so happy with our stay at Dovecot! It was so easy to get to from the airport and to get into Edinburgh, especially when Maggie gave us all the help and advice we needed. We are two young, inexperienced travelers and Maggie was like a mum for us! The room we stayed in had a king bed... More

This is the third time we have stopped here on our trip from Canada to Fife. Maggie makes you feel so welcome, it is like coming home. Dovecot is a short drive from the airport. Rooms are spotless. This time we weren't able to have a room with an ensuite, but we had our own designated bathroom down the hall... More

Beautiful, spacious, clean (!!!!) and bright apartment. Great location. Very private and quiet, as detached from main house, with it's own entrance. 1st floor. Fully working kitchen with everything you might need. Great pressure in shower, always hot water, good heating, and a huge comfy bed with lovely fresh linen. Lots of good towels. Lovely views and within short walk... More

We were made very welcome! A spotlessly clean and tastefully presented home. Very good location too - quickly into Edinburgh by public transport. Corstophinealso is an interesting and historic place in its own right. Don't miss the histoic dovecot.

We have been staying in the self catering apartment at Dovecot House... its great! CLEAN! Warm, welcoming, comfortable and Maggie even went out and bought a special piece of computer equipment just so that I could get my email here. How good is that? Also its amazingly quiet here at night with not even an owl hoot to disturb your... More

We always come up to Edinburgh for the 6 Nations Rugby and have previously booked into a Hotel in the Centre of the City. However one year we were unable to secure reasonable hotel accommodation and it was by chance I saw the advert for Dovecot House B+B - and I am pleased to report we are still returning to... More

I can say with confidence that this is by far the best B&B I have stayed in. The owner Maggie is delightful and is the perfect host. Her breakfasts are fantastic and her... More

Have just returned home from a wonderful two night stay at Dovecot House. This beautiful Guest House is the cleanest and most welcoming guest house I have ever stayed in. Plenty of parking and no need to take the care out. A short bus ride into Edinburgh is a stone throw away. The rooms are large, cosy ,bright and just... More
