About this property
The Gatehouse | Luxury Country House Edinburgh
Welcome to The Gatehouse, a beautiful 19th-century Scottish gatehouse at the entrance to the historic Kirknewton House Estate.
Surrounded by mature trees, open countryside and even Highland cows, The Gatehouse offers a very Scottish escape while keeping you within easy reach of Edinburgh and Edinburgh Airport.
Set behind private electric gates, the property has its own private garden and outdoor space, giving guests the feeling of a countryside retreat without being isolated from everything Edinburgh and the surrounding area has to offer.
Inside, the house sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms, with two bathrooms and generous living and dining spaces. Its original stone exterior and historic character are complemented by a comfortable, modern interior, making it particularly well suited to families, couples and groups of friends.
The location is one of the things that makes The Gatehouse special. You can wake up surrounded by greenery and countryside, explore the beautiful village of Kirknewton and West Lothian, or head into Edinburgh for sightseeing, shopping, restaurants, events and the world-famous Edinburgh festivals.
Edinburgh Airport is also conveniently close, making The Gatehouse an excellent base for guests travelling from elsewhere in the UK or overseas.
Whether you're visiting Scotland for a family break, an Edinburgh weekend, a special occasion or simply looking for somewhere with a little more character than a conventional holiday home, The Gatehouse offers a memorable base from which to explore.
Highlights include:
• Historic 19th-century Scottish gatehouse • Three bedrooms, sleeping up to six guests • Two bathrooms • Private garden and outdoor space • Private gated entrance • Countryside and Highland cows nearby • Beautiful village setting • Easy access to Edinburgh • Convenient for Edinburgh Airport • Ideal for families and groups
