2 Bedroom Cottage in East Linton

Built around 1845 and tucked away amid the gently rolling countryside of East Lothian, Middle Cottage is a beautifully restored stone built retreat that blends timeless rural charm with thoughtful modern comforts. From the moment you arrive, the cottage feels like a place to slow down, breathe deeply and truly settle in - a welcoming home where every detail has been carefully considered to create a relaxed yet refined stay.
Inside the cottage is light-filled and wonderfully cosy, with tasteful furnishings and a calm natural palette that reflects the landscape outside. The living space invites you to unwind - whether that’s curling up with a good book after a day exploring, sharing stories over a glass of wine, or simply enjoying the atmosphere that only the countryside can offer. The well-equipped kitchen and dining area make it easy to enjoy leisurely breakfasts, long lunches or relaxed evening meals, using the abundant fresh local produce that is easily accessible nearby. In fact, there is a farm shop, market, an award winning butcher and an organic fruit and vegetable producer all in the local village.

Summary: Lovely property and excellent location. We joked about how everything was no more than 15 minutes away! Cottage was perfect for us. Rooms are large and not cramped. Wrong time of year to enjoy the garden but it was lovely to look out on. We didnt need the log burner as the central heating made the cottage very cosy.
