Steading Cottage

Edinburgh, Southern Scotland

Steading Cottage sits just outside Edinburgh in Southern Scotland, a handy base with room to sleep six. It's a good choice for a family or group looking to explore the wider countryside rather than stay rooted in one spot.

From here you're within reach of Five Sisters Zoo Park, a fun outing for animal lovers, while The Wee Museum of Memory and Almond Valley Heritage Centre offer a couple of ideas for a rainy afternoon. West Calder station is the nearest rail link, making onward travel straightforward if you'd rather leave the car behind for a day.
