EMF Half Marathon Weekend
We came to stay for 4 nights to complete the EMF Half Marathon the location of the property was perfect. We visited several surrounding areas. Haddington, Gullane, Preston Pans, Fort Kinnaird Retail Park all within 10/15 mins drive. The property was clean and comfortable, communication was fabulous on the lead up and during stay. Our only bug was the wifi dongle really wasnt adequate this combined with poor mobile coverage in the general area (outwith the hosts control) made it even more frustrating. However it wouldnt stop us returning (for next years EMF) we loved your home, thank you.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Awful management, NOT dog friendly
Managent company atrocious, totally non-responsive; property somewhat dirty, especially in kitchen, no towels AT ALL and garden not secure for dogs unless you've got something like a rottweiler which couldn't get uner the gates. Issue with wondows which could have been resolved but property manager NEVER answeted a single query. AWFUL.
