Sleeps 2

King-sized loft bedroom

The whole cottage and private sundeck is yours to enjoy.

Peaceful Setting

A conservation village in the Lammermuir foothills

Garvald is the kind of place where the post van is a notable daily event. Birdsong, clean air, and rough water down the river.

26 Miles from Edinburgh

Easy reach, worlds away

Close enough for a city day trip, far enough that the city genuinely disappears. Around 30–45 minutes by car.

A Little History

A Piece of History

By 1841, three people were recorded as working in the Garvald bakehouse, supplying the village and outlying farms. The original oven doors, uncovered during our 2007 renovation, still stand today as a feature of the cottage.
