Reviews of Dean Village
"Great little gem of a place in Edinburgh. The rustic/Harry Potter vibes you get from visiting here are definitely here. Busy for tourists but not over crowded at this time of year. Need to wait to get a good vantage point for a photograph. When I was here there was fresh coffee stall. Beautiful place"
"The best of Edinburgh! So pretty and picturesque. I have been to this place twice in two years. The beauty of the village is so simple yet unique. It’s a good 30min walk from the Waverley station. It’s a straightforward walk and a must do in Edinburgh. If you are visiting Edinburgh, please go to this place early morning so that you can spend a nice peaceful time here. The river, the forest and the houses are like a dream. Check the pictures if you don’t believe me! A lot of people come here to see the village and it can get crowded so bear that in mind. Also there is good elevation towards the beginning of the village and it can be a little tricky during rains. Wear good shoes for the walk."
"About a 30 minutes walk from Edinburgh castle, this charming village is an oasis of natural beauty. At the bottom of the hill, before you cross the bridge, there is a nature trail that winds along the river. Just a couple hundred feet down the path, another world awaits you. The sounds of the city are replaced by bird song and the river. The sweet smell of elder flowers permeates the air, and you can easily forget that you are in a city at all. Please note that there are no shops. This is a residential area with a beautiful nature trail."
"A beautiful “old village” with picturesque views moments from the hustle and bustle of city life. Be prepared for there too be lots of people taking pictures so there may be a few moments wait to get that shot. Definitely worth a visit to take in some of the prettiest buildings in Edinburgh"
"A picturesque village in the heart of Edinburgh not too far away from the center. great for taking pictures of houses and the river passing makes it more mystic in style. Definitely a place to visit if you enjoy walking up and down the road. The village is small but its worth the visit i do recommend to go in the morning so it wont be too crowded and you can still have time to enjoy the tranquility of the place alone you will definitely love it"
