Property code: OC-53898

Perfect for hikers and walkers, those with four legs too, this charming, spacious period cottage, is nestled in a peaceful location in the heart of a beautiful 18-hole golf course. Enjoy hours of stick-chasing fun on the beach, tongue-lolling hikes in the hills or a touch of history and culture in Scotland’s capital city, before returning to a warm welcome for an evening of rest and relaxation.

Ideal for couples and small families alike, make sure your furry friend comes along as he is welcome too. Tasteful furnishings and subtle tones make this a cosy home from home. Trot through the front garden and step in to the light and bright open-plan living space, where your pup can have a snooze on his favourite blanket as you make a hot chocolate. Settle on the sofa with your feet up, enjoying the lovely garden views, and on warm evenings, dine alfresco with a glass of wine under the stars. For those days when cooking seems like too big a task, potter to the club house restaurant just a short stroll away. In the morning, let your happy hound scamper amongst the shrubbery whilst you sip a coffee welcoming in a new day.

Located in the pretty village of Lasswade, the wonderful city of Edinburgh and all its delights is but 6 miles away. Enjoy the beautiful golf course’s parkland with a stroll from your doorstep. Walkers will love the fantastic Pentland hills (8 miles), with Allermuir Hill providing superb views of the capital whilst there is wonderful ridge-walking along Carnethy Hill, Scald Law and the Kips. A water-loving dog will delight in a walk along the beach at Musselburgh (9.5 miles), and further afield you can all discover the golden sands at Gullane Beach (19 miles) and Yellowcraig Beach (22.4 miles).

A beautiful cottage with facilities suitable for the family. Located next to the Kings golf course, ideal if you want a round or just an idyllic walk. Parking for two cars, lovely views and easy access to all routes. May and John were wonderful hosts, very accommodating.

The location of this cottage was perfect, very quiet and peaceful but within 10 mins of the park and ride to Edinburgh It was comfortable but quite dated and the kitchen could have been better stocked with cooking implements. The washing machine was very welcome, a pity that the tumble drier did not work adequately

Its a nice spacious cottage in a peaceful location and only a short drive to the Sheriff hall Park and Ride with a huge spacious car park and the number 33 bus takes you into the centre of Edinburgh and returns which we used regular.

We enjoyed our stay . Lovely cottage in a fabulous secluded location . Our dog loved it . However the garden isnt secure so if you have an inquisitive dog they can easily go AWOL . Felt very welcome by Mr and Mrs King and they were on hand to help with anything. Clubhouse is efficiently run and the food is delicious.
