The
warmest of Scottish welcomes awaits you at Dovecot House.
A tastefully restored 1871 Victorian Villa, our house is located in a tree lined road tucked quietly away within the historic conservation village of Corstorphine and is named after its close neighbour, the 16th century Dovecot, which once formed part of Corstorphine Castle.
The period features of the house have been retained yet the interior
is light, contemporary and welcoming.
An ideal 'retreat' in the City or a base for touring.
