We had a lovely relaxing stay in this warm and cosy cottage with amazing views.

The cottage was clean and comfortable and a lot bigger than it looks in the photos. We especially loved sitting around the log burner in the evenings and very much appreciated the extra logs as the weather was cold and stormy during our stay. The location of the cottage, just outside Haddington with easy access to the A1, is perfect for getting out and about and exploring the Lothians.

Beautiful spacious accommodation, so quiet with amazing views.

Lovely area to explore. Seemed so much bigger inside. Nice to look out at the sheep and hear bird song. Lovely relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic week at the cottage.

The views are unbelievable and the interior is so fresh and modern, still with a traditional cottage feel. The outdoor space is great and it was lovely to be surrounded by farm life and animals. Such a peaceful place - A world away from city life! Haddington is a few minutes away and other towns and beaches close by. Would definitely come back!
