Great warm and cozy cabin

Lovely stay for 6 nights in this delightful cabin surrounded by fields. Super comfy bed and everything we needed. It was convenient for Livingston and Edinburgh with a car. Kind touch of flowers, fruit and wine too and the very nice owners gentle and friendly goldies popped by to say hello every now and again. Would stay again for sure.

Lovely Property - Great Location!

This was our second stay at this property and it was just as good as the first. Just 30 mins drive from Edinburgh, and 10 mins from the Pentland Hills it's perfect for both a city and country break. Extremely dog friendly too with plenty of space to run around outside. All communication was clear and timely, and we were greeted with a bottle of wine, lovely note and flowers. We will certainly try and return for a third stay in future.

Perfect location for our stay near Edinburgh!

The cottage was clean and according to description. The kids loved the backyard with the higlander cows and we loved watching the sunset over de forth bridges. Perfect location to visit Hopetoun house, Royal yacht brittanica and all the sights in Edinburgh. The cottage had everything we needed. Our only point to note is that the fridge and tv were very small but we made it work. Would totally recommend and stay again if we are in the area.

Beautiful, quiet, cosy cabin. Great hosts, everything in cabin you could need. Loved the board games, sheep and cosy fire. Ideal for visiting Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies and city of Edinburgh (Camera Obscura lots of fun). Loads of great walks including Walk of Leith, Pentlands Hills (lovely cake at Pentland Hills Express Cafe), several reservoirs, woodlands and Almondvale Country Park. Takeaways very handy nearby and delicious. Great holiday cottage, highly recommend.

The Perfect Power Down

My partner and I were here for four days and we adored the location. After going on a holiday packed with people all around it was so nice to get away from everything and completely recharge. The dog adored it too. More than likely to book this place again as it is just the perfect getaway!

Absolutely perfect!

We had such a lovely time at Belstane Cabin. Its a fantastic place to stay in such a perfect location - you feel like you're deep in the countryside yet can be in Edinburgh in half an hour. The cabin is so well-equipped, warm and comfortable, and we definitely hope to come again. Fiona and Dave were brilliant, and communication was great throughout booking & our stay.

Stunning rural retreat

The log cabin is beautifully set out , the photos don’t do it justice . Everything you need for a break away from it all . Lots of walks and Livingston shopping a short drive away for the essentials. Just wish the weather had been as lovely as the cabin :)

Excellent Location, Welcoming and Well-Kept

The cabin was perfect for my husband and I, our daughter, and our beagle. David and Fiona were very welcoming and accommodating. The cabin is well-kept and has everything you could need, but especially privacy. It's decorated with lovely art and has that personalized vibe that makes you feel safe. The location is perfect. We were able to go see a variety of things that were within a 90 minute drive and Edinburgh is super close. If you want country living with easy access to the city and many national treasures, it's the perfect place.

Wonderful, quiet cabin in the country

Dave and Fi have a beautiful, well-designed, and well-kept little cabin just outside of Edinburgh. With room to breathe the Scottish fresh air, green fields all around you, and sheep grazing in the pasture, this cabin is an ideal location for rest and relaxation, especially for couples or families who like the great outdoors. Dave and Fi were extremely hospitable and had some breakfast supplies and flowers on the dining table for us when we arrived. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

Absolutely amazing

Most amazing and welcoming hosts we’ve ever stayed with. The property is amazing and for us it was perfectly located. Very quiet and the views are breath taking. If I’m ever blessed enough to visit scotland again. I will be booking at this property. Absolutely made our visit that much better. if you want a secluded getaway that’s quiet yet close enough to stores and restaurants stay here. Do not look any further

Delightful Cabin

Fiona's cabin is the best way to enjoy your holiday in Edinburgh, without staying in the city. The space is delightful, cozy and perfect for a couple or a full family. Fiona helped us find the Lothian 44 bus--a relaxing no-drive-no-parking 30 minute cruise into the heart of Edinburgh. We sat on the deck and watched the lambs frolic all evening after sight-seeing. We are so grateful to Fiona and her family for sharing this space with us!

Beautifully presented log cabin in stunning countryside location

This log cabin is beautifully presented with quality furnishings inside (I simply loved the woollen tartan curtains!!). It is certainly very cosy and welcoming. Fiona met us as we drove up and there was lovely flowers, wine and fresh fruit for our arrival and a personalised card which was a very unique touch. Bedrooms were both spacious with crisp white linen sheets and lovely furnishings. Nice to see original artwork throughout the property by David - very impressive. Kitchen was high spec with eveything you could wish for. Spent many a morning counting the sheep (29 was my largest count) and we did have one roe deer near one day and an owl on the post one night. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a lovely quiet getaway. Pity we had rainy weather but it is Scotland!!! Would love to come back just a pity it is a min 4 night stay as we are often up for 2 nights to visit our son at uni but appreciate that is more difficult to accommodate.

Der Empfang war liebevoll und herzlich. David ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut ausgestattet uns hat es an nichts gefehlt. Das Haus ist umgeben von Weiden auf denen die scottish highland Rinder umherlaufen. Auch Fasane, Feldhasen und einen Waldkauz haben wir auf den Weiden gesehen. Optimal für Naturfreunde und Familien mit Kindern. Uns hat einzig das ansonsten übliche WLAN gefehlt aber das hat auch etwas.

A perfect break in an idyllic location

Pre-trip contact with Fi the owner was clear and friendly, and there was a lovely welcome note, wine, and fruit awaiting us on arrival. The cabin is well laid out with comfy furnishings and a modern shower room. It was also kept nice and warm. Fi popped up to say hi on our first evening and check everything was ok. We didn't need to bother her during our trip but it was good to know she was just down the track if we had any problems. We spent most of our week walking in the Pentland Hills which are gorgeous, but it was also an easy 30 min drive into Edinburgh. There's also a train station just 5 mins drive away, which our daughter used to visit us. Our dog loved the cabin and surrounding areas. There were no sheep in Fi's fields during our visit which mean Ted could be off lead as soon we opened the cabin door, and he thought that was fantastic! We'll definitely return here when visiting Edinburgh in future!

Lovely cabin surrounded by fields

If you’re looking to relax, unplug, and unwind, this is the place for you! Fiona and Dave’s cabin had everything we needed, with ample room for four adults. We made meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed relaxing in front of the gas fire. The cabin was cozy and warm during our November stay. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place!

Excellent in every respect.

So, here is my dilemma - do I describe how this holiday property ticks all the boxes (and there are many boxes to tick on our wish-list) or keep quiet and maximise our chances of securing a booking for our preferred dates the next time? Because accommodation this good is worthy of many re-visits. The log cabin itself is ideally situated by itself on farm land, off the beaten track but with easy access to a main route into Edinburgh about 30 minutes away. Our hosts were most welcoming, in person and also in their provision of some extra items which made us feel very much at home. Since it was me that did the leg-work to find the property for our short break it was very gratifying, on the day of our arrival, to hear my wife say repeatedly "this is wonderful!" Not wishing to sound like an estate agent, nevertheless the facilities are complete, immaculate, well thought out and superbly furnished and decorated. Every consideration has been given for our comfort and safety. We have used HomeAway / Vrbo many times over the years and this is the first time I have felt compelled to submit a review as long as this one. We will most definately be returning next year.
