A beautifully renovated rural retreat for families and groups set in extensive grounds.

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.
