Ideal for small families and couples, this traditional cottage is a wonderful base for four humans and two hounds keen to experience a taste of Scottish hospitality. Edinburgh, 7 miles away, is a hub for history, art and culture as well as being a haven for foodies, but there is plenty for Fido to discover too. After a busy day, your cosy accommodation is primed for relaxing with a wee dram in hand and lots of spots for your pup to snooze.
Deceptively spacious despite the modest stone exterior, this period cottage has oodles of charm and lots of quirky details that hint at the cottage’s interesting past. Exposed stone, a feature fireplace and gentle accents of Scottish heritage create a comfortable setting in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, inviting you to put your feet up with a glass of wine and your waggy-tailed pal by your feet. There’s an attractive contemporary kitchen and a table for all those hearty meals you’ll soon be enjoying, and the pretty bedrooms are located on both floors with comfortable beds for restful nights’ sleep. Completing the property is an elegant bathroom and a shower room, and outside the shared garden is equipped with a BBQ for summer dining.
Rosslyn Chapel is a mere few yards away and film buffs will likely recognise its prestigious appearance from ‘The Da Vinci Code’ as you explore the surrounding village. Edinburgh at first glance may seem an unlikely haven for hounds, but you and your canine companion will be thrilled with the array of doggy delights in store. Dog-friendly pubs, pup approved beaches and a stunning reservoir are just a few of the highlights, and you must soak up the sights as you navigate the South Queensferry to Cramond shoreline walk too.
