WashHouse - Scandi design cabin nr Edinburgh for 2

Love scandi-design and the great outdoors? This award-winning barn is a unique country escape for 1 or 2 people. Beautiful, handcrafted interiors complement the historic stone farm building. Huge windows frame the heather hills and woodlands of the Pentland Hills Regional Park on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Explore Edinburgh (~30 mins drive) or hike from the doorstep into the Scottish wilderness. Picnic on the nearest hill top, then return to sooth your tired legs in the wood-fired sauna yurt. The space Architecturally designed, the light & airy double-height award-winning space takes on a Scandinavian feel with restrained use of colour and simple materials. Light floods through the windows with beautifully handcrafted crafted ash window seat and generous sheepskins. An open-plan space is thoughtfully divided through level changes, perforated screens and bespoke furniture. The open-plan kitchen and living room are separated from the rest of the space by a wooden ash screen. The living room is on the lower level - small but perfectly formed with wood burning stove and cosy window seat with sheepskins. The kitchen is on a slightly higher level up a folded steel staircase. A uniquely designed and handcrafted breakfast bar / hidden tv unit divides the space in two. Behind the ash screen is a cosy bedroom with the comfiest of double beds. Sink into crisp linen, woollen blankets and the softest pillows. Fall asleep in perfect comfort listening to the crackle of the stove and the wind in the trees. The bathroom has white marble tiles, a rain shower and other high-end fittings. The polished concrete floor has underfloor heating throughout. The cottage recently won the Edinburgh Architectural Association's award for "Regeneration & Strategy" and was nominated for "Best Small Project" award. Guest access As a guest you have the private use of the whole barn and plentiful logs for your wood burning stove. The surrounding hills are yours to explore. Maps, flasks, tin mugs and rucksacks are provided to allow you to make the most of your surroundings. Hike from the doorstep or hire bikes a short drive away. The wood-fired sauna and spring-water plunge pool may be booked on a private-use basis for a small extra fee upon arrival. It will then be lit for you with sauna robes and towels provided. Other things to note We are situated off the beaten track, hidden in a quiet glen in the Pentlands. Access to the cottage is up a 1 mile farm track. The track can be a little rough in places but shouldn't cause problems for ordinary cars. There is parking for one car provided with EV charger (30 seconds walk from cottage). Luggage + shopping may be unloaded outside the cottage. Additional parking can be arranged. As the cottage is 1 mile from the main road, we recommend the use of a car for the duration of your stay. We have a fibre internet connection with excellent wifi speeds. Inside, the accommodation is very quiet with thick stone walls and triple glazing. The accommodation is on Eastside Farm - an organic working hill sheep farm. The surrounding landscapes are managed by us within various agri-environment schemes to encourage bio-diversity. Power is generated via a wind-turbine and heating is provided via a bio-mass boiler using timber sustainably harvested on the farm. The cottage recently won the Edinburgh Architectural Association's award for "Regeneration & Strategy" and was nominated for "Best Small Project" award. Embrace slow-living with the wood-fired steam sauna yurt and spring-water plunge pool hidden in the woodland garden. Private, 2 hour sessions are available to book on arrival at an additional fee. Instructions on booking are provided within the cottage. Note that the sauna is only open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays - although we reserve the right to alter the specific times and days available as necessary. Registration details ML00073F
