“Out of this world - in every sense”
Belatedly reviewing while we're in the process of booking again for a break in March 2012.
The moment we closed the door on 21 Shoregate to begin our return journey to London we wanted to go back the next day. In fact, we wanted to stay forever. But life has a habit of taking its time, and things happening in their own way.
21 Shoregate is outstanding in every detail. We can't recommend it highly enough. It's an oasis. Book while you can.
Date of stay: November 2010

“Oops. I see the secret is out . . .”
My family has stayed at #21 on three occasions under two different owners over the years, and its perfection never alters. A timeless gem in an exquisite location, and at a bargain price. Easy access from Edinburgh and the airport. Lots of lovely day trips are easily made from this house -- if you can bring yourself to leave. I will not reiterate what has already been said here about the accommodation, save to say that it is all true. I was just looking to re-book for next year, and stumbled over all these reviews. Happy for the owners -- they deserve it -- but sad for me. My secret is out and the house is likely booked solid . . .

Thank you so much for your lovely review of the cottage and area. We hope you enjoyed our Spring bulbs in the garden. We've managed to cram in more than 300 in our little coastal retreat! We look forward to welcoming you back.

We love secrets too and we promise not to share this one too widely! In fact, we have so many return guests that new guests have a hard time getting in. Book soon for next year - we're filling up already!
