This characterful and unique ground floor cottage is part of 17th century Cockenzie House and Gardens in the unified town of Cockenzie and Port Seton, just a thirty minute drive from Edinburgh.

The house and gardens show fantastic exhibitions with a traditional tea room and studio space for local artists who have refurbished some of the furniture used in Mercat Cottage.

The main open plan living space is a colourful area with a kitchenette with a washing machine and basin set into an alcove to one side.

There is a comfortable sitting area with a sofa bed, an electric fire and a dining area with more than enough space for the whole group to enjoy meals together.

The bedrooms each have their own individual style with both having names linked to the history of the area. 'The Blooming Room' is named after the award-winning Ladies in Bloom group, has a double bed and is decorated in a shabby chic style. 'The Power Station Room' commemorates the decommissioned Cockenzie power station and features quirky framed facts.

Completing the accommodation is the separate shower room 'Seton Sands' and the toilet room 'The Boat Shore Bog'.

Outside guests have access to the shared formal gardens and lawns and there is a private patio seating area.

The cottage is in a fantastic location just a short walk from the shores of the Firth of Forth and you can visit the nearby galleries, shops and cafés.

Just twelve miles away is Edinburgh with a host of activities and places of interest.

You could easily fill your days and still not see everything that is on offer in this area.
