About this property
Edinburgh, Dalkeith , Eskbank , vacation rental. S T LET LICENCE APL' MLOOO90P
This Edinburgh area holiday house was newbuilt as new self contained wing of Rathan House (1852). Set in the leafy upmarket Eskbank conservation area , it has 2 french windows from the lounge to a shared croquet lawn and quiet south facing walled garden.
Off street parking. 2 very good restaurants and a pleasant pub within 200 metres.
Excellent Edinburgh park and ride retreat with buses every 10 mins and trains every half hour to central Edinburgh. Edinburgh , the Lothians and the Borders have too many visitor attractions to cite all, the owners can help design bespoke daytrips - Eg Hogwarts Alnwick , Holy Isle and Hadrians Wall ; Traquair, Bowhill and Abbotsford; North Berwick Seabird center beeches and Museum of Flight.
Edinburgh speaks for itself but note that this Dalkeith vacation rental is 5 kilometres from Roslin Chapel., 1km from the Butterfly farm and Dobbies ..& 800 metres from Dalkeith Palace.
The house has a large kitchen diner with seating for 6 (8 at a push) ...3 showers , 4 wc's and a bidet. It has sash and case wooden double glazing and high standard modern insulation. The owners take pride in the housekeeping standards.

Fabby kitchen/diner and lounge and 3 shower rooms. It has direct access through french windows to a large beautiful well kept southfacing enclosed peaceful walled garden. parking fro 2 cars. Set in a leafy upmarket conservation area , perhaps the holidaymaker can feel as if they are in Scottish millionaire row while on holiday? It has excellent heating and insulation.
