luxury vacation rental within a 30 minute drive from Edinburgh airport.

A 35 minute drive takes you to the heart of Edinburgh... 60 minutes to Glasgow

Orlege sleeps 4 + 2, Craigengar sleeps 14+4

Orlege End, graded 5 STAR by VisitScotland in 2007 Our award-winning holiday cottages near Edinburgh, graded 5 STAR by VisitScotland, can be described as "world-class accommodation".

“Stunning, stunning, stunning and finished and furnished beautifully, Orlege has absolutely everything you could need for a most relaxing break away.” And, “What a joy! This takes self-catering to a completely new height”.

Comments like these in Orlege’s Visitors’ Book helped earn Crosswoodhill Farm Holiday Cottages the prestigious Tourism Oscar of Scottish Self-Catering Operator of the Year 2005 and repeat this success in 2008 with another national Thistle Award. In 2012, 2013 and 2014 Crosswoodhill reached the finals of the national Thistle Awards and in 2015 the regional finals.. And regionally Crosswoodhill was highly commended in 2013 in the Best Tourism Business Award Category for West Lothian.

The guest feedback has been so amazing that with the help of an award-winning architect, we designed and built a new “dream house” which sleeps 14 + 4. It opened in 2011.

If you are after contemporary chic in the countryside, intriguing open-plan design and space, airiness, warm feet and underfloor heating, these 5 STAR properties are the ones for you. Size will probably dictate your choice. Both are 2 storey.

Orlege End was converted in 2004 to a holiday home from eighteenth century outbuildings at the end of Crosswoodhill farmhouse. A peaceful, tranquil haven, this stylish getaway wows not just couples seeking a romantic escape in Scotland, but its flexible sleeping arrangements allow 5 to sleep here in great comfort (with an additional sixth person on a sofa-bed). Two luxurious bathrooms, each with unusual features, add to the appeal.

Craigengar, also known as the House-on-the-Hill, shares the wow! factor. Incorporating many of the best design features of Orlege but on a grander scale, with a few lovely surprises, this lodge sleeps 14 in 5 bedrooms with 6 bathrooms. A Gallery Area will sleep an extra 4 people. The moment guests step inside the door, their excitement mounts. Outside, they can unwind on the expansive decking, share the location with our grazing livestock. revel in the remoteness and discover that 35 minutes can transport them into the heart of Edinburgh. Or 60 minutes into Glasgow

Relax in this rural oasis, explore the farm, mingle with the sheep and wander the Pentland Hills
Radiate out north, south, east and west and be captivated by Scotland’s scenic splendour
Be adventurous! Or indulge in some great shopping or culture close by.
Easy, free parking alongside the houses, in sharp contrast to many places in the inspiring, historic cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
And generally so much more space for your money!

And at the end of the day, put your feet up, perhaps relax beside a real fire, rustle up some fine Scottish fare in a kitchen to die for, (we can signpost you to good food sources). Then, dram in hand, raid the bookshelves, the games cupboard, or delve into the feast of tourist information and plan exciting next-day itineraries.
