The Tottie Hut

Blend a country retreat with a city break while staying in this boutique holiday lodge, exploring South Scotland’s countryside and spending time getting to know the cultural hub of Edinburgh (7 miles). This one-of-a-kind shepherd’s hut offers the perfect bolthole for two guests, complete with romantic textures, a cosy king-size bed and an impressive outdoor space.

The garden, which is private, enclosed and not overlooked, can be enjoyed during cold and hot months, with a hot tub and fire pit to call upon when the temperature drops, and a sauna located through the orchard for a luxurious steam. Whilst maintaining a traditional country style, this studio-style holiday home has been decorated with ornate features and detailed accents.

Finished to the highest of standards, you’ll find elements including the mini-Belfast sink and the drop-leaf breakfast bar have been tailor-made to make this space exceptional. Take a few steps up into the shepherd’s hut to find everything you need at your fingertips.

The abode is made up of two rooms, an all-encompassing living area and an invigorating shower room just next door. The lounge/kitchen/bedroom is spacious enough for two, neatly organised to feature a kitchen on one side, a seating area in the middle and the bedroom across the way.

The king-size bed features warm blankets, plenty of throw cushions and a Smart TV opposite, allowing you to look forward to snuggly nights in bed after a day of exploring. Make the very most of your outdoor space, whatever the weather.

This enclosed garden is impressive, with a patio, lawn and well-established plants adding to its character. The hot tub is covered, meaning you can soak in the warmth of the bubbles even when the rain is falling.
