Enjoy the best of all holiday worlds with a luxury stay at Westside Woodshed, serenely nestled within the soothing heather-clad Pentland Hills, yet just a short drive away from all the buzz and excitement of Edinburgh.

The eco-friendly Woodshed complete with private hot tub is set within Eastside Farm, a working sheep farm within the Pentland Hills Regional Park; a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Iconic hillscapes, including The South Black Hill, Hare Hill and The Kips, are both visible and accessible. A simple wander through the farm’s generous pastures will leave you feeling wonderfully revived amongst nature.

You’ll spot plenty of sheep, of course! – but you’ll also notice plenty of flourishing wildlife, including red grouse, wild hares and the occasional raven as you admire vibrant purple heather and breathe in fresh, herb-scented air…all beautifully redolent of the Highlands.

Westside Woodshed itself blends perfectly into these exquisite surroundings, elegantly crafted from silvered timber cladding and whitewashed wood panels that complement the whispering trees.

Even before you enter, you’ll note that the views are exceptional…and are ideal for enjoying over an early-morning coffee at sunrise, or with a well-deserved glass of wine at sunset. Whatever the weather, the large glazed doors allow light to flood inside, perfectly showcasing your rolling surroundings and the ever-changing sky.

Soft, muted décor with fresh pops of colour welcome you inside, along with cosy throws and tasteful furnishings designed with supreme comfort in mind. Curl up by the crackling fireside by evening, after a hearty meal prepared in the well-equipped, open-plan kitchen…and with all that double-height, Scandi-style space, you’ll find plenty of room to relax!
