A super cosy little cabin adjoining a field of Highland coos. I never saw the host but she was super helpful and friendly at every stage of the booking process and offered local information like taxis. It's a little out of the way from Haddington but a short car trip. It's very convenient if you want to access great golf courses like Gullane or North Berwick. PS: The 1 star review below is utter rubbish from a troll. Ignore.

Our hosts Tom and Nathan were fantastic and couldn't have been more attentive during our stay. The bed was very comfortable and there was also great range of eco friendly products available to use in the chalet. Seeing the highland cows right outside our window was a bonus too. We'll definitely be back!

We arrived at night time to the cabin and you could feel yourself relax immediately coming from the city at how peaceful the area is. The sleep was incredible being out in the countryside and waking up to the highland cows in the morning right outside of the window was magical. The price at $150 usd a night is a little steep but the experience of seeing the cows and peacefulness of the property justifies it.

Spent one night here and overall happy with the stay. It is really advised you stay here only if you have your own transportation, as it is off the beaten path a ways. Being away from the city felt nice, and there is a very lovely view waiting of the nature beyond and the fields with cows grazing peacefully. The room came stocked with a few treats, which was thoughtful. Amenities/utilities were apropros. Major complaint is the room had signs of black mold in corners of the walls/ceilings. Additionally, did not have access to email and needed a code from the email to open the gate to get in. Everything is a tight squeeze in Scotland with regard to cars, so entering/exiting without getting into someone else's way can be difficult. All things considered, would definitely stay here again.

Perfect accommodations for a trip with my mom and sister. Everything we needed for comfortable accommodations as we visited Scotland. The kitchen provided all we needed for meals in, beds were comfy, shower was hot with great water pressure and the view was amazing! The Highland Coos in the area right outside the windows as a bonus!! Would stay again if we ever head back!

We had the best stay here! Jazelle was amazing, so welcoming and helpful. We were delayed and she had breakfast items as well as tea, milk, sugar, and snacks in our room. Cozy accommodations with everthing you need. Waking up and seeing the amazing views, along with the coos, made our stay in Scotland even more special. Highly recommend.

We had such an amazing stay here . It was so peaceful and relaxing. Waking up with fields and Highland cows surrounding us was so beautiful . You can't feed or pet the cows but that's perfectly ok they are genuinley so close to the lodge that you can have a wonderful interaction with them . You have the road in the front but it's really not bothering because the lodges are at the back and there isn't a huge traffic either. The views were gorgeous . The lodge was very clean and has everything you need . There were some welcoming gifts which was so lovely . Jazelle is an amazing , friendly ,caring , helpful , reliable host . She would always help us when we needed something . It's around 30min driving to Edinburgh but it was ideal . You can have the buzyness of the city but afterwards you can go back to the peace of the countryside . We already said that when we're going back to Edinburgh we will go back there . Totally worth it .

Delightful! Cosy, clean, well equipped, peaceful, warm and with loads of hot water. Everything was compact with a lovely wee kitchen and a super shower. The best part, of course, was having beautiful Highland cows right outside the window! What a joy!
