Grieve’s Cottage, located on a renownedly progressive farm in the stunning countryside south of Edinburgh, has recently undergone a complete renovation to transform into a spacious and comfortable rural retreat perfect for families and groups.


The captivating open-plan kitchen and dining area is bright and airy, with sliding doors opening onto a delightful terrace. The room boasts sleek polished concrete floors, locally crafted Chippendale-school Windsor chairs, a hand-crafted Oak kitchen, high-quality appliances including the impressive AGA oven, and a generous welcome pack filled with delectable local treats to greet guests upon arrival.


The welcoming sitting room, adorned with the original fireplace, adds a touch of vibrant colour with elegant Charlotte James sofas, Morgan chairs, kilim rugs, and unique artwork created by Steading's artist in residence.


The four bedrooms epitomize refined luxury with exquisite William Morris wallpaper, indulgent Harrison Spinks' beds, hypoallergenic vegan down duvets and pillows from the prestigious Fine Bedding Company, as well as superior cotton bed linen and towels. The well-appointed bath and shower rooms feature power showers, heated mirrors, underfloor heating, and stylish Heritage fittings. To further enhance the guest experience, vegan Moo & Yoo guest amenities are provided.


Superfast broadband is delivered throughout the Steading via a direct dedicated fibre BT connection to ensure an excellent signal in every room.


For larger groups, Papple Steading comprises four adjacent properties (sleeping up to 20) - Papple Farmhouse, Grieve’s Cottage, Shepherd’s Bothy and Ploughman's Bothy - making it ideal for large family get-togethers or groups of friends who want to holiday together without compromising on space. It is also the perfect location for a corporate retreat.
