Welcome to
Borthwick Farm Cottage
Welcome to our self-catering accommodation at our 16th century cottage, a mere stone’s throw away from the medieval Borthwick Castle, in the stunning Hamlet of Borthwick, Midlothian. We are just 30-min drive from central Edinburgh, but in the heart of the countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking scenery. Whether you are looking for a countryside escape or attending a wedding up at the Castle or visiting Edinburgh but don’t want the hustle and bustle of the city, we offer the perfect getaway.
We have 2 self-contained, well-appointed lodgings. Our wee ‘Annex’, attached to our cottage, or our ‘Pottery’, our converted timber out-house. Both are suitable for an individual or a couple, both have walk-in luxury showers and king-sized beds, and their own main door access. Also, both have beautiful uninterrupted views of the Castle! There are stunning woodland walks around us, and plenty to see in the surrounding area (including Roslyn Chapel, Crichton Castle, North Berwick, Sea Cliffs beach, plus Vogrie and Dalkeith Country Parks).
Our accommodation is simple but very comfortable, with a washing machine, dishwater, coffee machine, kettle and toaster and cooking facilities. Neither have a TV, but we have Wifi, board games and plenty of books! We are quite remote, so a car is recommended but we do have a train nearby (Gorebridge) and local taxi's.
We bought Borthwick Farm Cottage a few years ago, and slowly but surely undertaking the huge task of restoring this beautiful property. We are doing this ourselves, and it is truly a labour of love. With this in mind, our stable block and drive aren’t always at their prettiest, as the work continues. Please note, we cannot accommodate children or families and due to being situated on working farmland, we unfortunately cannot allow pets. We have a parking space for one vehicle per booking on our drive.
We are also listed on Air BnB, where we are reviewed as a 'Guest Favourite'. If you have any questions, please get in touch, we will do whatever we can to help.
The Annex
The Annex: We are offering a wee (approx 22 sq m), self-catering, main entrance annex, attached to our 366 year old cottage. Suitable for a couple or an individual. Our cottage annex directly overlooks Borthwick Castle (which is a stones throw away), has a well equipped kitchen with coffee bar, cosy bedroom with views up to the church, bathroom with a large walk-in shower and a small store room with a washing machine. The annex is attached to our home, but is completely separate from our side of the cottage. It is peaceful, warm and comfortable with everything you will need.
The Pottery
The Pottery: We are offering our small timber outhouse (approx 30 sq m), self-catering, main entrance accommodation, beside our 366 year old cottage. Suitable for a couple or an individual. The Pottery overlooks Borthwick Castle (which is a stones throw away so perfect for wedding guests), has a well equipped kitchen with coffee bar, cosy bedroom amongst the tree line, with a king sized bed, and a bathroom with a walk-in waterfall shower. Enjoy a glass of wine whilst overlooking the Castle and grazing sheep or take a walk around the green countryside.
