Mauldslie Hill Cottage

Peaceful location close to lake. Great secure garden for dog. Loved the wood burner and supply of logs to make it cosy. House was warm. Good amount of space, living area in particular was great. Would use the conservatory in warmer weather, though there was a wood burner in there too so perhaps that too is warm when that is on but we didn't try it. Shower rather weak. Quite an isolated spot so took quite a while getting about as it was far off the beaten track - this was only a slight issue though as we were going to and from family in Roslin, but if you were not that would be fine - nice in fact, as it was right in the country. Overall would recommend and would stay again.

Perfect stay whilst working away from home

Absolutely loved everything about our stay and will definitely be back the house was spectacular and the scenery,garden and views where just beautiful so peaceful and relaxing 😀

Not complaining about anything as loved it all but the shower could do with some little look at it was a bit temperamental

Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Cottage was beautiful and warm, and had everything we needed. Loved the family coffee table book about the farm. The red deer were amazing neighbours.

The shower was a bit of an adventure, but did the job. No complaints.

Super cosy remote getaway. Had a lovley stove and plenty of wood to keep you warm.

Beds were quite hard, but nothing we couldn't live with for the short time we stayed.

Gepflegte, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Gelungene Verbindung von modernem Komfort und traditionellem Stil. Bequeme Betten und hochwertige Bettdecken. Wer bereit ist, eine etwas längere Anfahrt auf teilweise weniger gut ausgebauten Wegen in Kauf zu nehmen, wird mit einem hervorragend ausgestatteten, ruhigen Haus in absoluter Alleinlage belohnt. Perfekt für uns und unseren Hund als erste Unterkunft nach der Fährüberfahrt Amsterdam-Newcastle upon Tyne zum "Ankommen" und entspannen vor der Weiterfahrt nach Norden. Guter Ausgangspunkt für einen Tagesausflug nach Edinburgh.

Die Übersendung des Keycodes vorab per E-Mail, wie bei allen weiteren Unterkünften üblich, hätte einige Aufregung bei Ankunft und kostenintensive Telefonate erspart.

If like myself & my husband, you like to wake up to beautiful surroundings, this place is definitely for you. We arrived at night so didn't see anything until the following morning and it's stunning. You do have to drive just under 20 minutes to get to a shop so I'd recommend stocking up on essentials before you get there. The Cottage was lovely & clean & really homely. The only downsides we had were the shower. We love a nice shower but the water pressure was not great and the shower didn't really get very warm. We also had an issue with the heating while there but the hosts were really responsive & sorted it out as quickly as they could. We didn't realise when we first got there but if the Hive isn't connected I'd recommend contacting them straight away to let them know because the heating won't work correctly. We used the cottage as a base for going into Edinburgh for the Christmas market. Regardless of the small issues we had a lovely stay & would still recommend.

Lovely cosy cottage, spent the evening snuggled around the logfire, playing boardgames provided and looking out at the snowy scenery. Spent a couple of days edinburgh and a few taking scenic walks close to home. The blankets and hot water bottles were a nice touch too

Amazing location and comfortable cottage. We loved being able to see the stars on an evening and it being dog friendly. I would like to stay again in future, highly recommended.

Its very minor but some of the kitchenware could do with replacing (baking trays etc...)

The location is magnificent. A gorgeous, cosy cottage surrounded by a deer farm with all the lovely touches you need: candles, wood fire, heavy woolen blankets, books and hot water bottles.

Nothing at all. It's the perfect get away

Ligging, omgeving, ruimte, comfort

Het weg dek er naar toe

Everything nice good view and very quiet we love it

Everything perfect just one day water run out it broken in the house, we can use toilet or shower and cleaning we can't do nothing in the house. But the owner they very nice they try to fix for use straight away seen they know what happen. We understand it accident thank you so much. If we have time we going back to stay again 🙏☺️

Quiet, remote location ideal for a getaway from the everyday hustle and bustle of town life. Plenty of great walks and lots of parks to take yourself off to.

We had a wonderful stay at Mauldslie Hill Cottage! It was the perfect spot after a busy touring day in Edinburgh. The cottage was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. The scenery was beautiful with grazing sheep and deer and rolling hills. Thank you!!

Lovely accommodation. Beautiful location.

Ce lieu est tout simplement magnifique ! On se croyait seuls au monde entourés d’une nature magnifique ! Les hôtes sont très gentils même si nous ne les avons pas rencontré. Si vous aimez la nature et le confort d’un cottage très charmant, c’est le lieu idéal!

De locatie en de enorm vriendelijke eigenaren.

Schoonmaak kon echt stuk beter

Mooie locatie in alle rust met uitzicht op het meer en de velden. Goede uitvalsbasis om Edinburgh te ontdekken, maar ook een lokale wandeling was makkelijk. Echt een pareltje in de natuur.

The cottage is in the most remote, quiet and beautiful location, yet still within easy travel (by car) to Edinburgh city and surrounding areas. The deer on the farm were quite breathtaking and within clear view. The cottage is tastefully decorated and has everything you need. Just so quiet and relaxing. The host wasn’t very responsive and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend.

I stayed here with family for a wedding in Edinburgh and we thought the place was beautiful. Very clean, tidy, warm, and well presented. The host was just a call away and very helpful. It's so peaceful here and lovely to see the deer outside in the fields. Really pleased to see the kids toys as well; my son enjoyed playing with those. Thank you, we had a lovely time! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The house is in a perfect location for walking, and the area is so quiet and peaceful. The host was really responsive and helpful, and there was a useful manual with local walks and places to eat. We had an amazing weekend!

Although remote, it was very beautiful. Lovely spacious kitchen/diner and living room and comfy beds. Great bathroom and garden too. Very peaceful stay.

Although a beautiful property it is getting tired and could do with some tlc - some things are falling apart and the outside of the property does not do the inside justice.

A lovely property, comfortably fit 4 adults, 2 infants and a baby. Very family friendly property. All amenities matched description and kitchen was easy to cook in. Responsive hosts! Thanks for having us :)

Location was great as we were attending a wedding nearby. Stunning views and great walks.

Would be good to have some outside furniture to sit on and enjoy the views and garden.

Lovely location, good facilities and great value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The photos do not show just how beautiful this treasure of a place is. Every angle around the cottage was breathtaking!! We had this stay to meet up with family and it went perfectly, we all felt at home and the scenery was stunning! The only issue was we did not stay long enough. Will definitely look to returning 🥰

Warm and cosy, amazing views

Nothing, it was all more than we expected

Great spot for visiting Edinburgh and also the outdoors. Lots of firewood at our arrival. Loved the two woodburners for extra atmosphere. Seen lots of deer at the farm.

A beautiful remote location. A really peaceful escape, surrounded by nature and natural wonder. We thought it was excellent value for money, it was cosy but comfortable and it felt like a real escape.

Such a cozy cottage with beautiful views! Loved our time here. The wood burning stove was used every morning and evening and has been a great bonus! Our family of 5 is thankful for finding this gem in the middle of the Scottish land and our youngest son gave it a 5⭐️ rating!

This was an absolutely gorgeous cottage in beautiful surroundings. There were so many homely nice touches. We particularly appreciated the hot water bottles and extra fluffy blankets as well as the wood fire due to the chilly season! Amazing value for money.

We couldn't work out the heating but we were out most of the time so never got a chance to ask. The fire kept us warm though! And the duvets and bed coverings were super warm and cosy.

We had a truly wonderful time at this beautiful, peaceful cottage set on a deer farm. It has everything you'd need for your stay - a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, a clean bathroom and a fabulous garden! Totally remote. It was so quiet and peaceful. We loved it and so did our dogs. I will say the garden isn't 100% secure if you have a small dog, there are some gaps under the fencing. The garden fences are 3.5-4ft high so bear in mind if you have an athlete for a dog! We will certainly be back! Thank you 😊

Lovely cozy cottage in remote beautiful setting. Surrounded by stunning views and wildlife.

Nothing.

The cottage was set in the middle of the countryside, very peaceful just the sounds of the fam animals, birds and the countryside, perfect for our break, the only downside was we only booked for four nights we would have loved to stay longer. Our host was always available for any question. Looking at booking again but for a longer stay.

Lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Our young daughter and other kids enjoyed the space and seeing the nearby wildlife.

Beautiful place to relax with the family or friends. Very nice and cosy house. Gorgeous rural landscape and amazing lake nearby. We had fantastic time. Highly recommended.

A lovely cottage on a deer farm. Peaceful, comfortable and with all the amenities you need.

Location

Nothing

Très joli cottage décoré avec goût. Il dispose de tout ce dont vous pouvez avoir besoin pour faire la cuisine. La literie et le linge de lit sont de très belle qualité, le calme est absolu et la vue sur le réservoir (lac artificiel) et les cerfs est un ravissement. A 30mn d'Édimbourg, c'est le dépaysement assuré !

Nous n'avons pas trouvé le lave linge mais n'avons pas demandé non plus

This is a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location We had everything we needed and the owners were very helpful amd welcoming . I also asked to check out later and they agreed We will definitely be back

Maybe next time can provide shampoo

Firstly, I want to say how gorgeous the place was! Full of charm and character! We loved the addition of the little log burners which kept everything nice and cosy! The deer were amazing to look at and occasionally came so close! All appliances worked and were easy to operate, which is always a plus! The only downside is that it was incredibly loud in the middle of the night. I’m usually a heavy sleeper but the sound of very loud pipes, I think, would wake me up at 3-4am every morning, sometimes earlier. The water pressure for the cold water is also not the best in the bath, and it takes quite a while to fill. There was also a strange smell coming from the fridge. Other than that, everything was great!

Heel mooie en gezellige cottage. Het huisje ligt erg afgelegen maar heeft een heel mooi uitzicht. De host was vriendelijk en heel behulpzaam. Henrietta reageerde onmiddellijk op een vraag van ons.

We waren met een gezin van 6 personen en we misten keukenmateriaal. Er waren te weinig potten, borden en glazen.

Beautiful part of the country and accommodation was great and so quiet. Enjoyed the animals close by in the fields and so being so close to the reservoir.

Our recent stay at this lovely cottage nestled in the serene rural expanses of Edinburgh surpassed our expectations. Though secluded, the cottage provided all the comforts of home, accommodating our family of six with ease. The cottage was well-appointed, clean, and imbued with a homely warmth that made our stay truly memorable. The impressive view was an extra bonus, with lake and deers. This cottage made our time together as a family incredibly special, creating memories that we’ll cherish forever. We’d highly recommend it to any family seeking a comfortable stay amidst the tranquillity of nature. We can’t wait to return!

Everything was great, scenery out of this world

Beautiful cottage in a quiet location. Hiking trails and a lake nearby, but also perfect for visiting Edinburgh. Nicely furnished, comfortable bed and large fenced garden.

Bathroom was not very clean

We had a lovely stay at Maudslie Hill Cottage. The cottage was clean, well equipped and looked exactly like the photos. The best part by far was the location - in beautiful Scottish countryside with views over the nearby reservoir, deer to the rear and sheep to greet us everyday as we returned to the cottage. The cottage has a beautiful garden which allowed us to make the most of the amazing vistas at the rear of the cottage. Only minor downside was that the cottage is on a working farm and the proximity to the yard made the garden difficult to enjoy (due to the dust and noise) during working hours as the yard was in use during our stay.

Not Appicalbe

Nothing

Brilliant country side cottage. About 40 min away from Edinburgh. Spacious living room with wood burners so you never feel cold. Comfy beds, nice view from the windows on the hills. All facilities provided. Highly recommend.

emailed and sent the code

入黑後尋找住處是極其難找,屋主提供的是從另一方向進入的路線，我們去的是另一條路線，來來回回找了一個鐘,最終還是要勞煩屋主來帶領! 屋內很舒服，但唯一美終不足是花灑水力太弱, 冷熱水難以控制，周圍基本上沒有人煙及商店, 要駕駛45分鐘才出到市中心購物!

Beautiful property!

The only thing that would of been useful is a fire guard as we had a 3yr old but absolutely no criticism on the property it’s lovely.

cosy cottage with everything you need for a relaxing break

Beautiful location

Back door very drafty,

This is the most beautiful spot for a mini-getaway. The landowner took time with my sons to explain the red deer and gave them each an antler base. This is a spot that my family will definitely come back to!

Amazing location with superb views from garden. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable bedding. We did not have children with us but it seemed well equipped for them including the enclosed garden.

Such a beautiful quaint cottage in the most gorgeous surroundings! Would absolutely love to return someday. Our group had the loveliest time.

Nicely renovated property with all amenties you need. Remote location, beautiful surroundings, but expect a drive to nearest town for groceries. Enjoy the scenery. All queries were dealt with prior to our visit. Easy book in and out. A definite gem amongst the real Scottish countryside

A traditional cottage in a beautful and private off-the-beaten track location, with well-equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces and beds, and fantastic views. It is a great spot from which to explore the border region as well as Edinburgh, and your hill explorations can start from the front door.

Cleanliness was acceptable to us for a country cottage, but do expect some dried-up flies in corners. Somewhat cramped access to toilet.

Wow! This place is a real gem. The location is super quiet and private. The views are spectacular, and the cottage is spacious and comfortable! Everything was clean and convenient. Communication with host was great. Lots of space indoors and out. Highly recommend!

Everything

Weather!

Wonderful place to stay peaceful scenery was outstanding Would love to come again

Lovely cottage fabulous views very secluded but in reach of Edinburgh

Very cosy and cute cottage! Plenty of logs for warm fires every morning and night! Beautiful scenary and a joy to be there.

A lovely cottage from which to enjoy the surrounding area.

A truly gorgeous location which had everything you needed for a family. We arrived on a cold winters night to be treated to a cosy cottage with a ready built fire in the log burner and hot water bottles ready for filling. A fully enclosed garden area would provide a ideal area for little ones to play safely. A secluded quiet spot where the closet and noisiest neighbours are the deer.

Lovely time at the cottage, Homely, cosy, Henrietta gave detailed information about The local area. Replied to all our questions and was very helpful. Cottage is cosy and would stay again

Great accommodation in such a scenic, rural location. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here, had everything you would need and loved the wood burning fires, kept us cosy!

Mauldslie Hill Cottage is the perfect hideaway. Just a short journey from Edinburgh but in the most beautiful, peaceful, rural setting. The cottage is both stylish and cosy - lovely tweeds and woollen blankets. We enjoyed a winter weekend, making the most of lovely local walks, then back for a glass of wine in front of the wood burner and incredible sunsets over the reservoir.

Lovely remote location. The enclosed back garden is ideal for dogs! Cottage is very nice, includes everything you'd need - home from home!

The cottage was so wonderful, we were finally reuniting with family after nearly 2 years for a family wedding in Edinburgh. We wanted to stay somewhere in the countryside and this cottage was so spot on. We had some lovely evenings around the fire. The host surprised us delivered us a massive bag of logs, just as we started to run low, they must have known! The kitchen is super well equipped and the bathroom felt brand new. Our only wish is that we could have stayed longer. We will definitely look to book again. On the way home to Englandshire, I realised in a panic I didn't have a sentimental necklace......my hubby had covered it over with hot water bottles on the windowsill when we were packing. After some silence in car, I messaged the host who could not have been more lovely. She said she would post it onto me and today a photo arrived of the special delivery code, making its way back to me overnight. This just further underscores what an amazing host these guys are. A million thank yous!

Such a lovely cottage! Beautiful spacious garden, easy to keep clean while having dogs in there. Lots of space indoors, large sunroom, the fireplace is a great cosy addition. The owners of the cottage are very hospitable, always happy to answer questions. Some many hiking places at the doorstep too, you don’t have to drive far (or sometimes drive at all!) to see all the beautiful landscapes. Amazing experience!

The cottage is very remote but that means you’ve got complete privacy in a cosy cottage the access to the cottage is down a private road which is rather uneven and close to the deer farm. The cottage kitchen and area is very good, tv and Internet was excellent as was the heating system. The garden area was completely safe and large with a lovely view of the reservoir. With the cottage being so remote on a clear night stargazing is a must plus the local area there are plenty of very nice country parks within a few short miles.

The cottage itself is located in a quiet and beautiful location. Inside it has a rustic feel to it. We felt at home straight away. It has a conservatory overlooking a spacious and secure garden. That was ideal for our dog and gave us peace of mind when he was outside. This is one of the better properties we have visited

The road up to the accommodation. There are some very deep potholes.

This stay really summed up why we love to visit Scotland! The cottage itself is lovely and cosy and the location is honestly breathtaking with the deer so close by. The garden was lovely to sit out in and great for dogs too as it's completely secure. The surrounding areas are perfect for exploring but the cottage was so homely it was difficult not to just stay there all day!

Cottage very dusty and windows and ceilings covered in cobwebs

Fabulous cottage. Wonderful location and very clean and warm. As my four year old said “there’s a dear park in the garden!”. Hour from Edinburgh and the coast. Highly recommended.

Beautiful surroundings. Cottage was spotlessly clean and very cozy.

A fantastic cottage in an idyllic location. We will be back!

Lovely cottage in a great spot. Ticked all our boxes.

Lovely little cottage. Very private with lots of local wildlife. Had a great wee stay

Exceptional value for money. Lovely little cottage, would be amazing in the summer. Loads of space for kids to play. Lots of great walks on your doorstep. Close proximity to Edinburgh and Dalkeith for fun activities. Log fire in sitting room was a great addition.

What a stay! A beautiful cosy yet spacious cottage set in stunning surroundings, communication with our host was great. Really couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you- we will certainly be back😁

Location is perfect, so beautiful. Huge garden for dog, very clean and excellent communication with a contact free check in/out.

We had a fantastic time at the cottage. The location is to die for, with incredible views. We loved our daily walks down to the reservoir, and enjoyed looking at the deer outside the window. The cottage was very comfortable and clean, and well equipped (although some smaller cereal bowls would have been welcome!). Access to Edinburgh was very easy. The hosts were extremely helpful and answered our queries very promptly. Highly recommended!

Cosy cottage in a beautiful location
