A romantic cottage for two in the Pentland Hills, with views for miles and your own private garden with a wood-fired hot tub

It’s a mile-long drive down a bumpy farm track (with gates to open and close) but you’re rewarded by a timber-clad cottage for two that blends beautifully into the landscape around it.

Inside is double-height and open plan with large French windows flooding the room with light; throw them open to look out onto the garden and, beyond that, stupendous views of the Pentland Hills. Jenny leaves you freshly baked scones and all the logs you want for the wood-burner.

From here, you can walk the surrounding heather-clad hills and Edinburgh is only ten miles away – regular buses leave from the nearest town, Penicuik, a ten-minute drive away. Get back to fire up the hot tub and watch the stars come out.

Local points of interest from Susan & Jenny Cowan:

Susan & Jenny Cowan:

The Woodshed is nestled among acres of stunning countryside crisscrossed with walking trails from the doorstep. Take a picnic into the hills, hike to the local pub or just take a moment to watch the wildlife and the world go by from the nearest hilltop.
The Woodshed 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 the Woodshed 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 rustic country spas, sandy beaches and surfing, to distilleries, skiing and sculpture parks. For Outlander fans the Woodshed offers the perfect base to chase coasts, castles and golden light!
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.
Book supper at our farming neighbours on the other side of the Pentlands. The Free Company host magical seasonal suppers with all the ingredients grown on their organic farm. Think firepits, old farm buildings and long rustic tables.
