About the host
Hosted by Jenny Cowan
Jenny and Michael will be hosting you on our farm, Eastside. Eastside is a 3000 acre organic hill farm in the Pentland Hills Regional Park near Edinburgh. The farm has spectacular views and hills which change constantly through the seasons. In late summer, early autumn visit for the iconic Scottish purple heather; in spring see new born lambs playing; winter can often bring snow. At any time, the farm is amazing place to unwind from the stresses of modern life - live a little more slowly, go for long walks and then curl up with a good book by the log burning fire.
Why they chose this property
The Pentland Hills Regional Park is very close to Edinburgh - and therefore offers the best of town and country. It's stunning hills, both rolling and craggy in places are a fantastic place to unwind and shake off the stresses of modern urban life. Here you can walk for miles from your doorstep, find a sunny spot out in the hills for a picnic and then return to your modern and sophisticated accommodation converted from an 18th Century farm building. In the evening, unwind with a good book by the log burning stove or indulge yourself with our enchanting steam-sauna, cleverly hidden in a tented yurt.
The changing seasons bring something special to the area at all times of year - from the purple heather of late summer / early autumn to the magical snow of winter and playing, new-born lambs in spring. There is a reason to visit at any time of year.
What makes this property unique
Few other properties can offer such immediate proximity to both the hills and to Edinburgh. Excellent walking and mountain biking is right from the doorstep - once you're here then no more driving is needed. The accommodation itself is unique blend of tradition and Scottish heritage (it's within an 18th Century farm building) and ultra-modern, architect-designed sophistication. It's effectively a brand-new building inside an ancient one - built and designed to the very highest standards using high quality materials and local craftsmen. Edinburgh is only a 20minute drive away which allows you to explore the best of Scotland's capital city - sights, shops, restaurants and bars - and then swap the hustle and bustle for the relaxing quiet of the countryside on your return.
