Morham Burn Cottage
Haddington, East Lothian

 

East Lothian is a beautiful county which proudly possesses many of the attractions for which Scotland is so famous - stunning beaches and dramatic coastline, the heather-clad Lammermuir hills so beloved of Sir Walter Scott, 19 golf courses, many of them links including world famous Murifield, and several award-winning tourist attractions. The county also benefits from having the internationally renowned city of Edinburgh right on its doorstep and it's a short drive or train ride into the city so you can make easy day visits and explore the castle, galleries, museums and shops.

This part of Scotland is steeped in history - you only have to follow the last tragic months of the reign of Mary Queen of Scots to see how many East Lothian houses and castles played a part in her fall. History aside, there are many other places of interest: The Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick, The National Museum of Flight with Concorde, Musselburgh Racecourse and Glenkinchie Malt Whisky Distillery to name but a few. The charm of East Lothian will delight both children and adults alike and leave you with a true taste of Scotland.

Accommodation:
Morham Burn Cottage is attached to Morham Burn House but has its own entrance. The accommodation comprises an upstairs kitchen/dining/sitting area with TV/DVD/Freeview, plus i-pod dock. There is a sofa bed available although space is restricted when it is out. The views are fabulous over the beautiful rolling countryside. Downstairs there is a double bedroom. This can be set up as two singles or one superking and there is room for a cot. The bathroom has a bath, shower and heated towel rail. Gas central heating keeps the cottage cosy and it is stylishly decorated and extremely comfortable.

Outside there is a patio and small garden area with BBQ, adjacent to the main garden of the house and parking for one car.

Directions:
From Edinburgh take the A1 towards Berwick. (If you're coming from Berwick and the A1 you'll need to take the first Haddington exit and then the rest is the same). Take the second Haddington turn off, ignoring the first. At the roundabout go right under the bridge and then take the exit into Haddington onto Dunbar Rd (A6093). Go straight across at lights. Just ahead is a road that is technically a left but in fact you're going straight ahead, it will be signposted to Gifford and Lauder.

Keep on this, you will pass Lennoxlove House on your right and then the road bends sharply to the left and soon after sharply to the right. Just after this take the left turn signposted to Garvald, Morham and Whittinghame. After nearly two miles the road bends to the left and straight ahead of you is another technical left, signposted to Morham, take this. Take the next left, signposted Morham Church - if you go over a bridge you've gone too far! The first house you see is Morham Burn House itself, and attached to it a little further down the lane is the cottage. You can park on the paving in front. Welcome!

Heating is included in the rental price. All bed linen and towels are provided.
