Cosy cottage on a working hill sheep farm with spectacular views, walks from the door and Edinburgh just ten miles away

Your converted barn is one of four self-catering properties set around a courtyard. Susan and her family live in the farmhouse and will greet you with freshly made scones along with fresh milk, tea and coffee; logs for the wood-burner are on the house.

Spread out in the spacious living room where you’ll find games and books for days when the weather plays up. You can all eat at the farmhouse table in the kitchen or, in summer, light the barbecue in your private garden, which has magnificent views of the Pentland Hills.

Walk along the ridge to the Flotterstone Inn in an hour-and-a-half or drive in ten minutes. The nearest town, Penicuik, has shops and restaurants, and you can take the bus to Edinburgh from here – or drive to the City Bypass in ten minutes.

Local points of interest from Susan & Jenny Cowan:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Susan & Jenny Cowan:

The cottage is set amongst thousands of acres of stunning countryside with walking trails from the doorstep. Picnic in the hills, hike to the local pub or watch wildlife and the world go by from the nearest hilltop. Enjoy the enchanted woodland sauna yurt.
The cottage is at the centre of Eastside Farm - our working hill sheep farm. Old-fashioned grasses, herbs & heather illustrate the timeless values of our traditional farming systems. Red grouse, peregrines, ravens, wild hares & badgers are a common sight.
Edinburgh, Scotland's compact, hilly capital city is jam-packed with great things to do and it's only a 10 mile drive from Eastside to the centre! Explore the cobbled streets of George St., Victoria St., Stockbridge, the West End and the Royal Mile.
The Lothians and beyond have so much to offer. From country spas, sandy beaches and surfing, to distilleries, skiing and sculpture parks. There’s lots to keep the whole family entertained without heading into the city.
Jupiter Artland is a magical place where you can immerse yourself in sculpture, walking around and sometimes through pieces as you explore the park. With pre-booking you can now swim in an art work with Joana Vasconcelos’ incredible Gateway piece.
Take a day trip to the coast, Sula boat trips will take you out into the Firth of Forth to spot gannets and puffins. Return to shore picking up fresh lobster and chips at the Lobster Shack open in the North Berwick harbour throughout the summer months.
