Pentland Cottages, Spittal Farm, near Edinburgh
The Cottages at Spittal (derived from Hospice as the monks used to run one nearby in the 10th/11th century) are one and a half miles from the nearest pub which has an open fire and excellent food, four and a half miles from the nearest supermarket in Penicuik and half an hour from the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland - but you would never know it!
These holiday cottages are in a glorious position, south facing and surrounded by stunning walking country on a working sheep farm within the Pentland Hills Regional Park.
