We have a Summer 2017 swap arranged but feel free to contact us about other times in the year. We have recently renovated our kitchen and sitting room into a large open plan family room housing a lovely big dining kitchen with a table for 8.This family room had a wonderful wood burning stove which rotates 360° and had two sets of bifold doors opening out to the garden and decked patio area. We also have a second recently refurbished sitting room with a gas burning stove, Tivo box, a PS3, Wii, DVD, record player and about 700 records to access amazing eclectic music. There is a newly renovated Jack and Jill style en suite accessed from the master bedroom as well as the hall. We have another bathroom upstairs. The en suite&upstairs bathrooms have showers also. We have a lovely garden, patio area hosting a Barbecue, trampoline & childrens climbing frame which is fab in the nice weather &can also be great in winter if you wrap up warm!! It is Scotland after all. Our home has three double bedrooms&a the fourth bedroom has a single tunnel trundel bed with a with a serving pull out bed underneath mattress should you need it.Our second sitting room with a very comfortable double sofa bed if ye need more space. So the house could really host up to 10 people depending on whether you have babies/children/ people willing to share double beds etc...We have WIFI & a piano too.
We live in the Shandon area, which is close to central Edinburgh. Our community has lots of green space in playparks and our street is right beside the lovely Union Canal which houses houseboats, a cafe and further down the canal has a host of bars and restaurants. The area has the cosy feel of a village and is a very friendly community with lots of local amenities from local shops, cafe, bars, restaurants to bigger supermarkets still within walking distance. We are about 2 mins walk to a bus stop which brings you direct to the city centre in about 10-15 mins or you can get to Princes St down the quiet relaxing Union canal path in roughly half an hour. Edinburgh is famous for its historic old town and castle and the Festival and Fringe which last throughout August and when it is extremely difficult to find accomodation. We'd pick this time to travel leaving a great time for others to visit. We have extremely friendly neighbours also which is a bonus when you are new to an area
Shandon is a vibrant place with local shops, cafe, hairdressing salons and some very good pubs. We are only a short walk away from the Fountainpark area which has a great multiplex IMAX cinema as well as Ten pin bowling, casino, gym etc...and some fantastic pubs and restaurants if you wanted to stay more locally. But we are also a 2 minute walk from many direct buses which take you into the city in 15minutes. Shandon is also equidistant to both Gorgie which has many local shops and supermarkets and also the lovely Bruntsfield and Morningside which have lovely boutiques, cafes and bars. We have the best of both worlds we think. Edinburgh has also been voted the 4th best city in the world recently so come and swap with us.
We would Prefer a swap in Europe next summer 2018!!
We are a young(ish) family with two Daughters Aoife and Erin who are 6yrs and 8years old. We live in a wonderful green and friendly community in Edinburgh a couple of miles from the city centre. We live close to the Union canal which brings you straight to the vibrant city and all it has to offer.
The house was great and Edinburgh and the Fringe festival kept us occupied for more than 2 weeks.
We had a fantastic stay at Sharon & Peter's house in Edinburgh. The house is very well located, in a quite quarter, beside a wonderfull canal that leads to the city center, that you can reach by bicycle in 10 minutes. The house was full equiped and very confortable, and Sharon & Peter made everything very easy. Edinburgh is a fantastic city, you smell history and culture everywhere (special mention to the Summer festival, a must in your life), the surroundings are marvelous, and Scots are really gentle and warm people. Definitely we have to go back. It doesn't matter if it rains a little bid!.
