Overview
Property code: 79550

Located on a family-run working arable and sheep farm, this charming cottage is only 10 miles from the wonderful city centre of Edinburgh, and close to the beautiful Pentland Hills. Urbanites will love the cafes, restaurants and fantastic leisure and shopping facilities, whilst the outdoor enthusiasts among you can enjoy golf, mountain biking, climbing, walking, skiing, snowboarding or even tubing.

This single-storey stone cottage has soft neutral tones accented with splashes of colour in the soft furnishings and gentle artwork, creating an elegant yet welcoming home from home. Sleeping six guests in three chic bedrooms, this spacious yet cosy cottage is perfect for couples, families and groups alike, and is delightful to return to after a busy day exploring the central belt of Scotland.

Enter the stone cottage into the hall and discard wet boots and damp coats before heading through to the kitchen to make a cuppa. Prepare yourself a delicious meal and take it to the lounge/diner, gathering at the dining table to plan the next days activities. As the evening draws in, snuggle up on the leather sofa to watch a movie together, before relaxing in the serene bedrooms for a peaceful night’s sleep. Wake refreshed and take your coffee in the garden, listening to the early morning birdsong as the sun comes up.

Outside, there is garden furniture for al fresco dining, relaxing in the beautiful enclosed mature garden, perfect for early morning strolls and lazy evening stargazing. There is ample private off-road parking available.

We loved staying at this cosy cottage! Super clean and welcoming, Shona was extremely helpful to us as well. Highly recommend for somewhere just out of the city. Easy access into town with regular busses.

We all loved the cottage. Location was great, accommodation was first class. Large enclosed garden was fantastic for the kids to play in when at the cottage. Plenty of places within easy driving distance to visit. Finally I have to mention Shona Galloway, the owner. Excellent communication and very informative in our visit. Thank you so much.
