The Coorie Inn is a cosy, self-contained apartment with private shower room, at Joppa, Portobello, Edinburgh’s seaside. There are patio doors to the back garden. We only share the front hallway. PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING. THE BED IS A SOFA BED and is a small double size and is quite firm. I have mattress toppers and a self inflating mattress if required.

My name is Barbara. I have lived in Edinburgh since I came down from the Highlands to study and work in medical research at Edinburgh University for 40 years. I have recently taken early retirement and have just started hosting in May 2022. I am very knowledgeable about all things Scottish - history, local knowledge, art, literature and culture and am happy to talk to you or even take you on a bespoke tour. I will have minimal contact with guests, but am around on a daily basis. I have in depth knowledge of all things Scottish and local and am very happy to talk to guests about anything. There is also a wide selection of history, art and guide books in The Coorie In.

There are many great restaurants in both Portobello and Musselburgh. The property is located right on The John Muir way where you can walk/ cycle from Dunbar through Edinburgh and to the west of Scotland. Newhailes Country Estate is just opposite and Portobello and Fisherrow beaches are a few minutes walk. The beach at the end of Eastfield Place is a popular site for birdwatching.
