About this property

Craigiehall Temple - historic property built 1759

Make you trip to Edinburgh truly memorable with a stay at Craigiehall Temple. Built in 1759 and situated in its own grounds on a former part of the Craigiehall Estate, the property is Grade A listed for its stunning portico displaying the arms of the 1st Marquess of Annandale. A plaque on the wall carries a quote from Horace: "Dum Iicet in rebus jucundis vive beatus", "Live happy while you can among joyful things". We hope that a stay at the Temple will deliver this experience and stay true to this vision.

The Temple has a castle-like feel to it and is spread across two floors. There's a sumptuous living space on the ground floor, featuring a large wood burner, elegant leather furnishings, a dining table and a cabinet. Everything you need to light the wood burners is provided free of charge for your convenience. A range of standing lamps and candles provide fantastic atmospheric lighting.

On the upper floor, there's a large bedroom containing an emperor-sized bed beneath a dramatic overhead oculus inscribed with Latin text and a further wood burner. There's a full bathroom on the upper floor with a power shower.

The property does not have a kitchen, but we provide crockery, cutlery, glasses, cups and mugs, a large fridge, a toaster, a coffee maker and kettles on both floors. Tea, coffee and milk are provided.

In addition to the wood burners, the Temple has central heating and additional fan heaters that can warm up the property rapidly in the winter months.

About the host

Hosted by Dan

Host profile image
After staying in short term let properties all over the world, it's nice to finally be able to offer our own. We have a unique property and it's great to be able to offer a memorable and special experience to guests.

Why they chose this property

Edinburgh is a fantastic city with beautiful countryside just a short ride away. We are on the boundary where the city meets the countryside, in a small pocket of rural Scotland. We have fantastic countryside views but it's only a short drive into the centre of Edinburgh.

What makes this property unique

The property was built in 1759 and used to belong to the Craigiehall Estate, which was formerly owed by the 1st Marquess of Annandale. It is Grade A listed for its stunning Doric portico showing the Marquess of Annandale's coat of arms.
