Dating back to the 19th century, this charming property makes a delightful holiday home for couples and smaller families exploring the Scottish Borders. Within easy reach of Edinburgh, the cottage lies in a friendly village and offers quaint, welcoming accommodation for up to four guests, with plenty of space for a pet dog to tag along. Originally two separate weaver’s cottages, the property features exposed stonework and a roaring wood burner, and has been tastefully furnished to provide a relaxing holiday getaway for eager walkers and cyclists discovering a spellbinding part of Scotland.

Entering this characterful cottage, the cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner makes a great space to settle back and unwind after a wonderful day. Featuring comfortable seating including a quaint window seat, the lounge also has a welcoming wood burner set against a stone wall, providing a fantastic spot for your four-legged fried to curl up while you watch a movie on the Smart TV. The stylish breakfast bar is perfect for sharing family meals which you can rustle up in the fully equipped kitchen to the rear. The ground floor also has a refreshing bathroom with underfloor heating, and a lovely king-size bedroom. In the hallway a flight of stairs leads up to a charming mezzanine-style bedroom with twin beds and a PlayStation, perfect for younger guests. Although the cottage has no garden there’s plenty of open space in the village, perfect for walking your canine companion and taking in delightful views.

We had a lovely week in Linton Cottage. It was a spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and cosy cottage. West Linton is a lovely village. Great curry at the Gordon Arms. We used the Straiton park and ride to go into Edinburgh (you get the bus outside of the car park) but there is a bus stop in the village that goes there. I would definitely useRead more the cottage again. Hide

This cottage is in a very good location if you want a day trip or two into Edinburgh. The bus was on time and reliable and it took about 40 minutes.
