Excellent accommodation
We had a great stay in Musselburgh. The location is beside the bus stops so easy access to Edinburgh on the 26 or 44 bus. Clean, quiet, well stocked and lovely little house. Great host, great communication and we would stay again.

Fantastic stay in a great location
I stayed at Mhairi’s property for six weeks and by the end, it really felt like home. It was a great place to get immersed in the local community, and was very convenient for travelling into Edinburgh and beyond. Mhairi was a fantastic host, and was so generous in offering baked goods and other treats throughout my stay. Thanks so much for having me Mhairi, and I can’t wait to hopefully come back again soon!

Home away from Home
Mhairi our host, is a delightful friendly and welcoming lady. Our apartment for our months stay was bright, clean and had all the comforts of home. We did not hire a car during our stay as the excellent bus service is a four minute walk and you can buy a day ticket for £4.00 this ticket takes you to many of the surrounding towns and villages. Edinburgh is only 20 minutes by bus......perfect as trying to take your car into Edinburgh is a nightmare and parking it even worse. Great bus service with frequent buses. The beach is only a two minute walk and I have enjoyed many walks to Fisherrow Harbour and seen many sunrises and sunsets. I also walked along the road to Portobello Beach and just over the road there is a lovely woodlands walk , if you enjoy walking or strolling along you have many choices from this great location During our stay Mhairi has spoilt my husband and I with delicious home baked scones, jam and cream, shortbread This apartment has everything to make your stay comfortable We would highly recommend Mhairi’s delightful apartment and we are both rather sad to leave this morning . We only hope out next stay in Aberdeenshire is as clean, bright and comfortable as this has been, a very heartfelt thank you Mhairi We would recommend your home to all. Thanks again for a memorable stay. Jan and Eddie Gray

Excellent location, great base
Location was wonderful, walking distance to restaurants, bus stop 2 minutes away. Close to beach and walking distance to playgrounds which was perfect with our 4 year old. Loved everything about staying here, except we found the mattresses a little uncomfortable but that wasn’t a huge deal. Host Mhairi was lovely, lent us some flour when we needed it! Highly recommend staying here!

Cosy flat
We had a three-room flat plus kitchen, bathroom and space for washing-machine and drier. It was very convenient to be able to was our clothes. Because of several food allergies I usually cooked myself which was no problem as the kitchen offered everything needed. The beach was directly behind the house, Musselburgh harbour and promenade only a few minutes away. Mhairi gave us very supportive information how to get to Edinburgh without car and when and where to see King Charles as we came during the Royal Week. We had a nice stay and would return.

Schöne Wohnung mit allen Annehmlichkeiten in angenehmer Lage
Wir wurden bereits vor der Anreise super von der Gastgeberin mit Informationen versorgt und sehr warm empfangen inklusive einem "Starterset" an Lebensmitteln. Die Wohnung war super ausgestattet und wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir waren dort für die Teilnahme am Marathon, wofür die Lage auch sehr praktisch war, weil man vom Ziel zurück zum Appartment laufen konnte und nicht auf die Eventbusse angewiesen war. Die Anbindung an die Innenstadt war super; die Busse fahren wirklich sehr eng getaktet. Dafür hat man das Wasser direkt vor der Nase und kann dort schön Spaziergänge unternehmen oder laufen gehen. Einzig die Nähe zur Straße ist etwas nachteilig. Wer gerne bei offenem Fenster schläft oder einen leichten Schlaf hat, kann im hinteren Schlafzimmer vom morgendlichen Straßenverkehr eventuell etwas gestört werden.

Great location
This flat is in a great location. Just a few seconds walk to the beach! Mhairi , the owner, met us upon arrival. She was even willing to pick us up where we dropped the rental car off. The flat has everything you need. Bus stops right in front. Short walk to Fisherman Harbour and food stores (Lidl, Iceland and Aldi). Mhairi leaves a detailed book with contact numbers and directions for appliances). She also made fresh scones and flapjacks and shared some with us! We hope to stay with Mhairi in our future trips.

My visit
Mhairi was a superb host during my one-week stay. She assisted with all of my needs and was always available. Such a friendly person! The flat was spacious, clean, and welcoming. Getting into Edinburgh was quick and easy, with a bus stop only a few minutes away. Mhairi even drove me into Musselburgh on one occasion. The flat is a bargain given high rental prices in greater Edinburgh. Mhairi was the best! Michael

Long weekend to celebrate daughter's birthday. Accommodation was brilliant, a home away from home! Lots of extra little touches to make us feel welcome including a treat for the birthday girl. Lovely rooms, clean and tidy. Having the beach on the door step was an added bonus with lots of things to see and door locally there was no need to travel far!

Great home-base to explore Edinburgh, while offering a nice retreat from the city
Mhairi was a very generous host. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our family of four. A few snacks were also provided -- fruit, cereal, and milk. The apartment is very conveniently located near a bus stop to the city. Mhairi helped us with bus schedules and how to navigate Edinburgh. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mhairi

Host profile image
Grew up in Musselburgh, living with partner Kevin and son Matt, working from home as a Mortgage Adviser.

Why they chose this property

This is my home and I love it because it is quiet, close to the beach and nice walks, and yet only twenty minutes from all the excitement that Edinburgh which is a fabulous city has to offer. There are loads of wonderful restaurants in Edinburgh and it is such a vibrant city at any time of year. Musselburgh itself is a historic town with a Roman Bridge, harbour, beach and lovely coastline with plenty of walks.

What makes this property unique

I loved the property because it was quirky and had the annexe flat below and because of its proximity to Edinburgh. It is tucked away behind some trees and lovely and private and quiet. Not to mention the wonderful walk along the beach to the harbour or field and forest walk around Newhailes estate, both of which are very close to the property. Bus service to Edinburgh is excellent. Although we live above the flat you have your own access and complete privacy with no interference from us but close by to help if needed.
