The Head Gardener's Cottage successfully combines the charms of a cottage with loads of style. The property can easily accommodate 8 people and is a lovely venue for a celebration or for family get-togethers.

The house has been decorated using largely Mulberry fabrics and furnishings which creates a sumptuous and cosy feeling. It is one of the most quaint cottages in East Lothian and has plenty of parking, large grounds and is situated next to a walled garden. It also boosts a wonderful 7 person hot tub which is kept at around 40C which is great fun all year round.

There are 2 bathrooms, one shower room and one WC. One bathroom is decorated with Bisazza Mosaics and has a large spa bath. Another has a huge slipper bath with pebbles on the floor which is really lovely to walk on. The house is very private with a private entrance surrounded by mature trees. Within this secluded area is outdoor furniture and a hot tub which is really lovely to relax in.

On entering the cottage there is a beautiful handmade wooden kitchen which has under floor heating, a range cooker and seating. The dining room has luxurious silk drapes and comfortably seats 8 people. The sitting room is spacious with comfortable sofas (1 sofa bed), ideal for relaxing. There is a downstairs bedroom with double bed and a downstairs WC with a stone basin.

Upstairs are three bedrooms one king sized and one double each dressed with cushions and throws and two twin bedded rooms.

Lovely house and location with hot tub in the garden a bonus!The downstairs bedroom wasn’t as nice as the rooms upstairs however overall the house was lovely.A few items that would be helpful include a grater and there were no oven gloves. Also a bit more lighting in dining area and living room would be great.Overall a fantastic stay though and loved the area!
