About this property

The Coach House - a country home that sleeps 8

For those craving style, comfort and fresh country air, the Coach House feels gloriously off-grid, yet sits within easy striking distance of Edinburgh when the bright lights of the city come calling.

Bring family and friends for a refreshing escape from it all
Perched above rolling farmland on the edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, this is a home to re-connect and enjoy a little together time. For some this will be the journey’s end for rest and relaxation, while for others it will be the start of some amazing outdoor adventures in the raw, natural beauty of the Pentland Hills – a hot-spot for walking, biking and nature lovers.

Inside, the cottage has a multi-level arrangement, leading down into a spacious sitting room and dining room with characterful beams painted white to bounce light, and original coach house doors opening out to the lawned garden and far reaching views. The overall look is soft and tranquil, with an impressive central wood burner the focal point of the room for hunkering down and enjoying those cosy ‘go-nowhere’ days.

The gentle colour palette continues into a shaker style kitchen with a small central island and side doors leading out to the side of the cottage which extends into the front lawned garden.

Head back to the main access hall to the rear, and there's a sun room to the rear of the property which can be used in warmer days. The inner hallway leads up to three charming bedrooms, each balanced with a gentle colour palette which are serene and restful. The main bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite shower room while the other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with shower, and separate slipper bath for a seriously sumptuous soak.

DOGS
Two dogs are welcome with a charge of £20 per dog. The property sits on a working sheep farm therefore dogs must be kept on leads and under control while walking in the surrounding area. This is particularly important during lambing season.

GUEST AMENITIES
Bed linen, towels and guest toiletries are provided.

WI-FI & MOBILE COVERAGE
Important - Wi-Fi is provided but please note that due to the rural location, it is community Wi-Fi and usage is restricted to 75GB per week so not suitable for streaming. Guests can purchase additional data should this be required. Please note this is a rural area and signal can be intermittent. Mobile coverage can be patchy depending on the network.

HEATING
There is central heating throughout the cottages powered by a biomass boiler. Wood burning stove in the living area with logs supplied.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The property sits adjacent to Shepherds Cottage which sits in the same ownership and can be let in conjunction with Spittal Coach House for larger parties looking to holiday together. The cottages sit on a working farm with farm buildings to the rear courtyard and a farmhouse to the left of the Sheep Cote.

Exactly what we were looking for

Beautiful house, large enough for a family of 7 to comfortably stay in for a fews days. Not far from Edinburgh and tucked in the hills with trails all around. We had a fantastic stay.

Great Stay at Nine Mile Burn - Spittal Farms

Beautiful home set in a very picturesque setting. Out in country but close enough to all the places you'd want to go visit. Several great places to eat within a few miles as well as some fun pubs and many historical sites close by. House has all the modern conveniences. Great beds and comfy towels. House has a well stocked kitchen with everything you'll need. (not food of course), a great patio area with a fire pit (with plenty of wood on hand) and a Weber type bbq. Only two things of note are that the combo washer dryer works well in wash mode, not so much as a dryer, and that the upstairs shower needs the temp limiting device in the valve adjusted as the water while hot everywhere else is warm only in that shower. We really loved this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special place to stay. If six stars were a choice I'd give it to them.
