A PROPERTY WITH A TOTALLY UNIQUE LOCATION! GUESTS CAN ENJOY COUNTRY WALKS, AMAZING VIEWS AND A ROUND OF GOLF, YET “The Wee Gem” COTTAGE IS ONLY 5.5 MILES FROM THE LIVELY COSMOPOLITAN CITY CENTRE OF EDINBURGH. THE PROPERTY IS ALSO ONLY 4 MILES FROM EDINBURGH AIRPORT. The COTTAGE is surrounded by countryside and has incredible walks on the doorstep, both in the beautiful historic Cammo Estate and also along the River Almond all the way (2 mile river walk) to picturesque Cramond with its beach, harbour and access to Cramond Island. The uninterrupted Views from all cottage windows are exquisite, looking over colourful fields, Turnhouse golf course and all the way over to Edinburgh Airport. The cottage has a fully enclosed Private rear garden, safe for children and dogs. There is a very sociable patio area right off the main house with table and chairs, BBQ and wood burning Chiminea. There is also a luxurious HOT TUB with adjustable power jets and colour changing lighting, sitting on the raised purpose built deck with outstanding views over the fields, to the runways of Edinburgh Airport. Adding to the spa experience there is also a Sauna and changing room accessed from the garden
The cottage is also a very central location for touring with lots to see and do in the surrounding area. The Cottage is only 2 miles from the village of Corstorphine with its many cafes and independent shops. Edinburgh Zoo is also under 4 miles away and there is easy access to the city centre. Local to the property (within 2 miles) are two 24hr supermarkets, The Gyle Shopping Centre and Hermiston Gate Retail Park. There are many pubs and restaurants close by including The Glamorous Maybury Grosvenor Casino and Restaurant which is open until 5am!! The Train, Tram and Bus services to town are all within 2 miles of the property.
