Cottage holiday rentals in East Lothian

We walked in the property in awe..!! What an amazing place “house on the hill” is. My wife and I couldn’t stop looking out at the view even at night time when it was dark. Under floor heating and a log fire certainly keeps you cozy throughout your stay. We had a bath on both nights together and we could sit side by side it’s that big and take in the view of the stars and planets. That was a first for both of us..!!! The bed is that comfy my wife had decided we need one exactly like it and the same size, which I’ve agreed too. We took in a day in Elie, Pitwimmen, St Monans & Anstruther. We had breakfast at the Pavillion and meal at Ship Inn. Both places were lovely and great food. We haven’t had the luxury like this before so we are going to book again for next year. Thanks Darren & Claudia.

We were looking for a total peaceful break, clear instructions on how to use amenities, hot tub was really clean and really warm so enjoyed hours relaxing in it! Thank you Ainslie ❤️

just got home after spending 4 relaxing nights at the log cabin. Beautiful location so peaceful and tranquil. Hazel left a lovely welcome package which was much appreciated! Hot tub was fab to relax in and lovely and private as was the Sauna. Bed was very comfy and plenty of space in the whole cottage. The shower was amazing so powerful. if you book to stay here you will not be disappointed will definitely go back again!

Very well designed cottage making the best possible use of quite a small space - with both a shower room and bathroom , utility room as well as kitchen/living space and the patio with hot tub. Although near to the High Street with a range of takeaways and a superb butcher (Hunters) the cottage is in a very quiet street. The nearby Curate Wynd free car park was very handy and we could unload from there. Although Dawn and Darren were away Dawn was on hand to answer any queries. We had a great three day break - spending the days at the RSPB Nature Reserve in stunning weather. We ate out one night at the Balgedie Toll Tavern - highly recommended for great food and very good service.

We loved our stay at Madeira house. There was 8 adults in total and one dog and there was plenty of space. All the beds were big and comfortable, and the sofa bed was very spacious and comfortable too! The kitchen was very well equipped and the bbq and hot tub was a great bonus! The location was very peaceful and there was a great pub in Pittenweem for food called the West end - I would recommend! Overall a great stay, thank you!

Wonderful stay. The location is absolutely superb. What amazing views and so peaceful and remote. Sitting in the hot tub looking out over the hills was pure bliss!! And the stars you could see on a clear night, wow. Despite being so remote it’s close enough to Edinburgh that you can drive in and do all the attractions. So just perfect. Kylie was a fab host too, leaving Easter eggs for the kids and letting the kids feed her kunekune pig one day! The animals are great, especially Karen then hen, although she will come inside if allowed haha! All in all, we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Kylie

We had an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

We had a lovely few days, staying at Appletree Cottage, with our two grandchildren aged 6 and 3. The cottage was very comfy and well equipped, and ideally suited our needs. Good location for many attractions such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We were lucky to have good weather so the excellent play area and hot tub were much enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend booking.

We spent a lovely couple of nights at The Bothy. Beautifully done out with everything you need! We enjoyed the cosy log burner and appreciated more logs being supplied by Gillian on the second day. Would highly recommend, great peaceful location with access to lots of lovely surrounding villages and towns of East Lothian.

We’re a group of 5 adults and 2 cocker spaniels and have just returned from a lovely short stay at Pondfield Cottage, Gifford. The cottage was immaculately clean with 3 large double bedrooms and a lovely enclosed garden for the dogs to play in. The lounge was comfortable and cosy with a wood burning stove and a selection of DVDs, books and board games. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need with some lovely little unexpected touches like a spice rack. The location of the cottage is next door to an equine centre and horses are regularly walked past the house which was lovely to see. One small issue we experienced was resolved immediately, even though it was Easter Sunday, which demonstrated exceptional service from the owner. We would certainly recommend this property.

We had the perfect time! The place was spotless and very comfortable. A real home away from home. The house has a lovely flow to it, so very comfortable for groups. Very private and peaceful but so close to Longniddry for groceries or the station. Helen and her family were friendly and approachable but left us to our own devices. The horse was lovely. I don't think the photos show that it has a bath - it does! So that was fantastic to discover. We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old abbey road. Clean and cosy cottage. Super comfy beds! Great shower. Excellent location for all NB has to offer. We lucked out with the weather and great fun at New Year’s Day Loony Dook! Coffee at Zanzibar highly recommended and we had lovely food at the Herringbone and Nether Abbey hotel. Many thanks

All the previous positive reviews are true, had a very lovely stay with an enclosed backyard for pets. Very communicative throughout and checked up in person.

We had such a lovely stay in Norman and Maja's cottage - the scenery was stunning, such an amazing view from the cottage! Great woodland walks around the cottage itself and only a short drive from several beaches and local sights. The cottage itself was as described, it had everything we could've needed and everything was exceptionally clean and well organised - and we loved the rustic aesthetic. We particularly enjoyed being able to fire up the log burner on a slightly cooler evening. The hosts were really helpful and responsive, including on our day of arrival, and they provided clear instructions for the property - and their recommendations of things to do and where to eat locally were fab! We've said that we will definitely be back to stay again, thank you

We had a lovely break at Chester’s Farm and couldn’t have enjoyed the house more. It was absolutely a home from home and our hosts were incredibly welcoming. It was the perfect place to escape the city and a super cottage to take your dog along. Our son loved the house and the spacious bedrooms - the kitchen was very well equipped and we had everything we needed. We will definitely come again!

The place is in a lovely setting. A lovely old cottage with a very modern bathroom with a fantastic shower. Beds were perfect and clean.

Emmie was commutative and helpful to accommodate our changes in arrival and departure times. Found a way to help and the accommodation was clean and ready for us. The accommodation is extremely well situated and has a relaxed feel

Great place for us as usual - ideal for golf and food. Thanks Andrew

Overall a superb stay; cosy, perfectly equipped space that was larger than I expected and so wonderfully homely. Exceptional value, especially given how fantastic the property is, its location (stunning, dark skies too!) and proximity to Edinburgh. Stefan and Samantha were wonderfully responsive and I felt safe, warm and welcome. I could not have found a lovelier spot to enjoy a peaceful NYE.

We had a brilliant stay in Lucy’s lovely & comfortable cottage. Everything you could need along with a very welcoming hamper! We really look forward to coming back - thank you for making our stay so enjoyable

Spent a week in Eileen’s beautiful Garden Cottage in March. Perfect location in centre of Haddington so I was 10 mins away from my parents, yet it was quiet and peacefully located down a leafy lane with no passing traffic. Easy parking. Easy to find, excellent directions. Cottage is really nicely decorated and very comfortable. Really appreciated having plenty of large fluffy bathroom towels, good quality toiletries, lovely hot shower and plenty of coffee making equipment! Kitchen well equipped. All in all an excellent little hidey hole for two people and we’ll definitely be back.

A real wee gem. Magnificent views overlooking the Bass Rock on one side and over the West Bay towards beach, putting green and golf links on the other. Tastefully furnished and decorated and well-managed. Surpassed expectations.

A lovely snug and comfortable cottage in an idyllic location. Perfect for exploring the village and the surrounding coastline.

We enjoyed having lots of space for a family weekend away. The setting was peaceful but handy to drive to places. Kitchen had everything we needed and it was cosy and comfortable . We would happily return .
