Cobbinshaw Loch Cottages: your private getaway......

Set within the peaceful tranquillity of an organic farm overlooking the Pentland Hills and Cobbinshaw Loch, this gorgeous 2 bedroomed cottage is the perfect retreat for a relaxing Scottish holiday while being only 22 miles from the centre of Edinburgh, 30 from the hustle of Glasgow and 7 miles from the designer shops of Livingston. A perfect base for exploring many areas of scenic Scotland. Travel north, south, east or west and you won't be disappointed....

 

Stroll down to the loch, sit on the deck taking in the view across the fields to the Pentland Hills or read a book in front of a roaring fire. Enjoy the abundance of nature right outside your door while you reconnect with family and friends, and take life at a slower pace.

The house

Gairnshiel Cottage offers delightful recently refurbished holiday accommodation. It is situated between West Calder and Carnwath in the heart of the Scottish countryside but still within 40 minutes drive of two stunning cities – Edinburgh and Glasgow. 

 

The views from the cottage are breathtaking: it has a wonderful position on the organic farm of South Cobbinshaw overlooking the Pentland Hills and Cobbinshaw Loch. The 310 acre loch was built in 1818 to feed the Union Canal and was also used by passing steam trains to collect water. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI) due to wintering wildfowl and is popular with anglers and birdwatchers. 

The accomodation

The recently renovated self-catering cottage has been furnished to a very high standard and has an enclosed garden with a decked seating area with views over open fields towards the Pentland Hills.

 

The galleried entrance hall and Shaker-style kitchen have flagstone floors and the kitchen has access to the back garden. The kitchen itself is equipped with everything you need for your stay including fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fan oven and hob. 

 

The sitting room has a solid wood floor, woodburning stove and includes a sofabed, colour TV, freeview, DVD and video. The separate dining room, also with a solid wood floor, has a table to seat 6+ and a CD player. 

 

Upstairs there are 2 beautifully decorated bedrooms one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds. The bathroom has a white bathroom suite with a Victorian-style shower attachment.
