Eilean Donan

Eilean Donan is a ground-floor cottage where you step straight into a open-plan living space with patio doors onto the garden. The layout keeps everything on one level: a sitting room with Freeview TV and DVD player flows into a kitchen/dining room fitted with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher and washing machine, then two bedrooms and a wet room with shower complete the footprint. One bedroom has a double bed, the other a double and single, so the property sleeps five in total.

The cottage sits on the owner's grounds just off the A71, overlooking farmland with an unfenced stream 10 metres from the house. You have a garden with seating and a barbecue, bike storage, and parking for three cars. Essentials like bed linen, towels, electricity and Wi-Fi are included; the heating is gas central. Kirknewton station is a five-minute drive away, making Edinburgh accessible by train. Within reach are Jupiter Artland contemporary art park, Pentland Regional Park for hill walks, Livingston designer outlets five miles away, and New Lanark World Heritage Site a 40-minute drive. Golf clubs at Dalmahoy and Pumpherston are nearby. The cottage is non-smoking and has wheelchair access.
