Overview
Property code: 53898

Make a great escape to this delightful stone cottage set in the unique surroundings of a picturesque golf course which sleeps up to four people. Pack your clubs and make the most of being at the heart of the 18-hole parkland venue at Lasswade, just 6 miles from the vibrant capital city of Edinburgh. Explore the magnificent city as well from your base and discover its wealth of history, lively arts scene and abundance of attractions. Roam through the scenic countryside of this corner of Scotland and walk or cycle to your heart’s content.

This enticing, single-storey stone retreat has been designed to offer bright, inviting living space. Enjoy its cheery colour scheme, which brings sunshine all year round, and relax after a hard day of exploring in your comfortable and homely property which is located in a perfectly peaceful part of the world.

The cottage has a spacious lounge/kitchen/diner which is a great place for socialising whilst someone cooks. The superb kitchen area is complete with breakfast bar, where you can whip up your own meals on evenings you decide not to dine out or at the nearby clubhouse. In the lounge area, sink back into the inviting sofas and unwind with a bit of TV or a film on the DVD player. Alternatively, take a lovely, long soak in your family bathroom. Both the twin and king-size bedroom have gorgeous views of the pretty garden.

Step out into this peaceful, private outside area to dine in the fresh air or to sip a sundowner as the day draws to a close. Your perfect holiday home also offers generous off-road parking and it is just a very short stroll to the clubhouse where you can get a bite to eat if you don’t fancy cooking.

Indulge yourself in the many attractions of the Kings Acre golf course and perhaps take time out to play at one of the other many clubs in the area as well.

Head into the beautiful city of Edinburgh whenever you choose to take a table at one of its many fabulous restaurants or to treat yourself to a little shopping therapy. Explore Scotland's capital city, visiting its castle, Palace of Holyrood House and take in the spectacular view from Arthur's Seat. Walk the Royal Mile through the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. Spend time in the Grassmarket area, with its vibrant shops and lively pubs and cafés. Don't forget to look out, of course, for Edinburgh's many festivals for which it is so famous.

Alternatively, drive approximately 4 miles from your holiday home into the Pentland Hills Regional Park where you can enjoy Lothian's scenic landscape as you follow various trails and paths. Head some 10 miles to reach the east coast for days out at the seaside where you can stroll along miles of golden sandy beach and enjoy some dramatic scenery. Visit Portobello, with its wide promenade, or the quaint fishing villages of Port Seton and Cockienzie, with their harbours. Or you could drive just over 4.5 miles to visit the exquisite Rosslyn Chapel, which features in Dan Brown's book The Da Vinci Code.

Overall a very nice and generally clean cottage, a few minor issues with some of the equipment but I'm sure these will be fixed in time the interior is dated but homely, The cottage was nice and warm and we had a warmer welcome from the hosts who made us feel at home. the location was great and we went into the city most days but the secluded naturRead moree of the cottage meant winding down at night was very easy. Parking was very convenient and made unpacking and packing a breeze. We would stay again. Hide

A great location near to Edinburgh, we used the train some days to get into the city which was very convenient. Supermarket and pubs/restaurants also not far to drive to. The cottage had everything we needed but did have a bit of a damp, musty smell. We kept the windows open to help with this as my husband suffers with asthma.

A cute country cottage in an idyllic location even if you dont play golf. If you have a dog take a tie-out line as the greens are too tempting and the garden is not secure.
