A spacious farm cottage ideally located for East Lothian's superb beaches and celebrated golf courses.

A perfect base for exploring the magnificent city of Edinburgh, just a 20-minute train ride away

Westwood Cottage has been recently renovated to provide comfortable accommodation for up to six guests with highlights including a well-appointed kitchen, contemporary bathrooms, a handmade Roast Chandelier and local artwork from artists such as Kirsten Boston.

The cottage sits in a large garden with an outside dining area and attractive views across open farmland to Arthur's Seat and the Pentland Hills in the distance. There is excellent walking from the front door around farm tracks, as well as numerous waymarked routes.

Westwood Cottage is very well-positioned for exploring East Lothian's stunning coast. Longniddry beach, just a mile from the cottage, is one of the best kite surfing spots in Scotland and for families, the stunning sandy beaches of Aberlady and Gullane are both within a 15-minute drive. Gullane is also home to the renowned Bonnie Badger pub, created by chef Tom Kitchin.

There is an excellent array of activities for families nearby, including Archerfield Walled Garden and Fairy Trail, the Museum of Flight, Dalkeith Country Park, East Links Family Park and Foxlake water park, slightly further afield.

Scotland's famous golf coast is on the doorstep, with the internationally renowned courses of Gullane, Muirfield and North Berwick all within a 10-mile radius. Longniddry also has a well-regarded 18-hole links course.

Westwood Cottage is exceptionally well-positioned to explore Edinburgh and the Edinburgh Festivals, taking a 20-minute train ride from Longniddry station, just a mile from the house.
