Old Smiddy Cottage

Haddington, East Lothian

4

Located in the picturesque region of East Lothian, Scotland, this charming red sandstone cottage offers a tranquil retreat just 7 miles from Haddington and 8 miles from the coastal town of Dunbar. Nestled along a winding lane amidst beautiful countryside, the cottage provides a sense of seclusion while being conveniently only 45 minutes from Edinburgh. With accommodations for up to four guests in two bedrooms, it is an ideal getaway for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in the stunning Scottish landscape.

The cottage features a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, fully equipped for preparing hearty meals, complete with a dining table for shared meals. A cozy sitting room awaits, boasting a large wood-burning stove that creates a warm ambiance on cooler evenings, along with two comfortable sofas perfect for relaxation. The layout includes a hallway leading to the bedrooms, which comprise a double room and a zip/link twin room, allowing for flexible sleeping arrangements. A family bathroom with both a bath and shower further enhances the convenience of the space.

Outside, the property boasts a large enclosed garden, providing ample space for children and pets to play safely. Numerous walking paths from the doorstep meander through the picturesque countryside and into the Lammermuirs, making it an ideal location for morning strolls or evening walks to enjoy the sunset. Nearby, the village of East Linton offers local amenities such as an independent bakery, butcher, post office, and pubs, along with attractions like the historic Preston Mill, which has been featured in the popular series Outlander.

For those eager to explore, the main towns of Haddington, Dunbar, and North Berwick are all within a 25-minute drive, each offering unique historical sites and vibrant atmospheres. Haddington is known for its independent shops, cafes, and a monthly farmers market, while Dunbar boasts stunning beaches and opportunities for activities like wakeboarding. East Lothian's rolling hills, world-class golf courses, and high-quality food scene make it a fantastic destination for exploration and relaxation. With easy access to Edinburgh's bustling city life, visitors can enjoy the best of both worlds, returning to the peaceful sanctuary of Old Smiddy Cottage after a day of adventure.
