A stylish country cottage near Edinburgh. Wood-fired sauna. Pet friendly. | Cottage in Penicuik
2 Bedroom Cottage in Penicuik
Originally an 18th-century cowshed (Byre) nestled in the hills, the Byre has been thoughtfully converted, preserving its rural charm and character. Its robust stone walls have withstood many generations. Today, the building continues to overlook an ancient sheep fold - still in use! - and the hills beyond.
The property features a spacious open-plan kitchen and living room. Upstairs is a large living area complete with a cozy wood-burning stoveโperfect for unwinding. Cosy bedrooms are on the ground floor. Enjoy long walks in the fresh country air directly from your doorstep. Embrace slow-living by relaxing in our magical wood-fired steam sauna tucked away in the woodland garden. Each cottage is invited to book a private time slot.
Consider a day trip to Edinburgh (only 30 minutes by car) or curl up with a good book. In the evening, huddle by the fire pit in your private garden while watching the sunset and stars appear as the crackling fire fills the air with the comforting aroma of wood smoke. Eastside is your perfect hideaway in the hills.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
One double room (with ensuite shower room) and one twin room (with 2 single beds) comfortably accommodate up to four guests. Warm duvets and supremely comfortable beds await you. The property also has a bathroom downstairs and an addition toilet / utility room.
Outside
Our cottage is part of Eastside Farm - an unspoiled working sheep farm situated within the Pentland Hills Regional Park. The Park covers a substantial area of stunningly rugged hilly terrain south of Edinburgh, making it ideal for nature lovers! Miles of walking routes invite you to explore the area which is teeming with wildlife (nesting Peregrines & Ravens are often spotted on the hiking trails to the local pub).
The Byre cottage is situated just across the farmyard from The Steading, Cartshed, and Wash House cottages - making it ideal to accommodate large family gatherings (up to 12 guests amongst all the cottages).
Steam-sauna Woodland Yurt
Relax & rejuvenate in our enchanting woodland steam-sauna yurt! As guests of Byre Cottage, youโre invited to book a complimentary session at this unique spa which comprises a wood-fired steam sauna and spring-water plunge pool. Enjoy exclusive, private use during a leisurely 4-hour session.
Practicalities
Weโre tucked away off the tourist tracks in an idyllic glen within the Pentland Hills. Access to our cottage is via a 1-mile farm track - a little rough in places but passable for standard cars without any issue.
Parking is available for one car in our car park where we also have an EV charger installed (just about 30 secondsโ walk from the cottage). You may unload luggage/shopping right outside your cottage door. Additional parking can be arranged upon request if needed . Your hosts live across the farmyard and are happy to help if needed but will otherwise not disturb your stay.
Given that weโre about 1 mile from the main road, we recommend the use of a car for your stay.
