Place Description

Escape to the country and wake up to stunning rural views! Located down a lochside track, surrounded by wildlife and views, Gairnshiel Cottage offers peace and tranquility overlooking the Pentland Hills and Cobbinshaw Loch. This lovely 2 bedroomed cottage is the perfect retreat for a relaxing Scottish holiday while being only 22 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. The multi-fuel stove gives a lovely and cosy feel to the cottage living room and guests will enjoy all the books, toys and games.

The space
Gairnshiel Cottage offers delightful romantic holiday accommodation. It is situated between West Calder and Carnwath in the heart of the Scottish countryside but still within 40 minutes drive of two stunning cities – Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The views from the cottage are breathtaking: it has a wonderful position on the organic farm of South Cobbinshaw overlooking the Pentland Hills and Cobbinshaw Loch. The road leading to the cottage is a farm track that crosses the loch via a causeway adding to the feeling of 'getting away from it all' while still being close to civilisation!

The cottage has an enclosed garden with a decked seating area with views over open fields towards the Pentland Hills. The galleried entrance hall and Shaker-style kitchen have flagstone floors and the kitchen has access to the back garden. The kitchen itself is equipped with everything you need for your stay including fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fan oven and hob.
The sitting room has a solid wood floor and includes a wood burning stove, colour TV, free view and DVD. The separate dining room, also with a solid wood floor, has a table to seat 6+. There is a shower room on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are 2 beautifully decorated bedrooms one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds. There is an additional mattress available for an extra child. The bathroom has a white bathroom suite with a Victorian-style shower attachment.

A perfect place to relax unwind and rejuvenate.

Guest access
Self check in on arrival of guests.
The private enclosed rear garden is accessed through a stable style door from the kitchen directly onto a decked area. There is a small lawned area and the garden borders fields with views of the Pentland Hills. Parking available for 2 cars next to the cottage. BBQ available on request.

Other things to note
*Due to Coronavirus we are taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces with specialist viral sanitiser between reservations*.
Short breaks of 3 nights minimum are available at late notice or out with peak holiday periods. Please enquire.

Oil usage is charged at cost if used excessively. The first basket of logs and kindling are free and any additional baskets are at additional cost and subject to availability.

The short drive to the cottage from the main road is a mini adventure in itself. The track can be a wee bit bumpy in places but take your time, pick your line and enjoy the scenery!

We are dog friendly but not all our guests are dog lovers! We, therefore, ask that dogs are kept downstairs and off furniture. A dog gate is provided.

The cottage is situated next to other properties but the rear garden is very private with stunning views.
