About this property

BRAEMAR- Pretty village location close to Edinburgh attractions, cosy pub nearby

Outdoor lovers and couples will adore this charming cottage for two nestled in the heart of a picture-perfect Scottish borders village.

Small but perfectly formed
Braemar is a perfect cosy country retreat for couples and outdoor lovers such as walkers or cyclists who relish a pint, a bit of local banter and a crackling log fire in a friendly local pub after a long day out in the open air. Close to Edinburgh, Braemar is in walking distance of the wild and beautiful Pentland Hills, the Gordon Arms pub, the Old Bakehouse restaurant, and the very pretty village green and Old Toll Tea Room.

This traditional stone built cottage has oodles of character and charm. Step inside to the wonderfully inviting contemporary living space in heathery hues with an original fireplace and woodburner making Braemar ideal for relaxation, dining or toasty evenings in. Period features and a chic country style with natural wool blankets, soft sink-in sofas, tweeds and sprigs of heather. Next to the wood burner is a small dining table - just perfect for two.

GROUND FLOOR
Please note that that this is a traditional period cottage and a number of rooms have lower level ceiling heights, particularly in the kitchen and the first floor bedroom which has a coombed ceiling. If you have any concerns, please contact us before booking.

The cottage, as well as the town were great! Beyond anything we could have imagined for our honeymoon. The locals were friendly and the sights were beautiful! Would greatly recommend and hope to come back again!

Kleines Haus im Sinne des Wortes
Ein kleines, kuscheliges Häuschen mit Platz für zwei, kleine Pantry für Abendessen und Frühstück, schönes Bad mit Dusche, die dem Umwelt Zeitgeist entspricht, was den Wasserverbrauch betrifft. Parkplatz meistens direkt vor der Tür, und hier meine ich, vor der Tür, da die Hauptstraße direkt an dieser Tür und dem Wohnzimmer Fenster vorbeiführt, merkt man aber kaum. Die Treppe zum Schlafzimmer Ist nichts für Leute mit Geh-Handicap, sehr steil, vor allem nach dem Pub Besuch! Der Ort ist aus einer Harry Potter Szene erdacht und bietet einen CoOp 7 Tage bis 22.00 h und zwei Restaurants, eines mit Pub, den man nur meiden sollte, wenn Kalorien ein Thema ist. Von West Linton ist man in gut 30 Min. In Edinburgh und ansonsten schnell in anschaulichen Gegenden. Alles in allem eine schöne Location für eine Woche.
