FORDEL COTTAGE - charming cottage - perfect for exploring country, coast & city | Cottage in Dalkeith

A charming country cottage with a tranquil rural setting that’s perfect for exploring country, coast and city.
The perfect family escape for a taste of the good life
Fordel Cottage is every inch the country cottage with its stone and timber-clad exteriors, pretty enclosed garden and sweeping views of surrounding fields and paddocks. Adjoining a working arable farm, the cottage offers a true sense of the good life, with horses grazing just beyond the dry-stone wall that encloses the garden. Despite this sense of blissful rural isolation, the urban delights of Edinburgh and beautiful beaches of East Lothian are within easy reach, making it the ideal spot from which to explore country, coast and city.
The cottage’s living spaces and bedrooms are all found on the ground floor and include a bright, open-plan living space with comfortable seating for four and a dining area, which leads into a newly fitted kitchen generously stocked with appliances and essentials. Two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other with twin beds, share a bathroom which features a bath with shower over.
Outdoors, the pretty enclosed lawned garden has a sunny, west-facing patio area for al fresco dining and soaking up the countryside views and sunsets. Fordel Cottage enjoys a very tranquil setting - beyond the occasional interruption from animals and vehicles from the neighbouring farm, the rural peace is complete. And actually, the sporadic distractions are invariably welcomely received by children, who particularly love watching the ponies trot around the field at the rear of the property.
For those with restless feet, Fordel Cottage is ideally located for enjoying walking or cycling in the Dalkeith Country Park and Pentland Hills Regional Park, heading to the beaches of East Lothian, playing golf in the nearby Kings Acre and Newbattle courses, or taking a day trip into Edinburgh (just 11 miles away).
