Vacation Rental Description
Enchanting… idyllic… amazing… a magical haven… a perfect retreat… a second Eden. Words and phrases like this leap out at every turn of a page of Crosswoodhill’s Visitor Books and on entries posted up by recent past guests on TripAdvisor. Guests from around the world cherish memories of a happy holiday experience spent on this livestock farm. And many return. Crosswoodhill is the only self-catering business to have 3 times won a prestigious “Oscar” for their customer care, a national Scottish Tourist Board / VisitScotland Thistle Award: SELF-CATERING OPERATOR OF THE YEAR. Crosswoodhill triumphed in 2001, 2005 and 2008.
Just 35 minutes’ drive from the heart of Edinburgh these three quality, stone-built and centrally located holiday homes on the scenic Pentland hills are outstanding for location, comfort and customer care. Each property sleeps between 5 and 6 people. Equally ideal for couples and families. Pets are welcome and two of the cottages are wheelchair friendly. They range from 3 STAR traditional comfort to 5 STAR stunning contemporary chic. No parking problems at Crosswoodhill and visitors tend to get a lot more space in their accommodation, more peace and tranquillity and pay less money than in the city for all these blessings! And they benefit from an owner who lives on site happy to answer all questions and offer that extra special customer care that can make the difference between a wonderful holiday and a mediocre one.

With Edinburgh and Glasgow so close, Crosswoodhill Farm really does offer the best of both worlds: a rural oasis between 2 stunning cities and a wonderful base from which to discover Scotland’s culture and countryside. Edinburgh… exciting, historic, Europe’s festival capital and arguably the most beautiful city in Britain and… less than an hour away, vibrant Glasgow, Stirling and the Trossachs, Fife, Border Country, museums, galleries, castles, palaces, lots of leisure pursuits, excellent shops. Whatever the weather, whatever the ages, there’s so much to see and do. And come the end of the day, Crosswoodhill’s the perfect place to unwind. Escape to the hills and solitude, watch our cows and sheep grazing contentedly, relax in the garden or explore our toy cupboards. Maybe put your feet up with a good book from our shelves, and toast yourselves in front of a peat fire. Equally suitable for holidaymakers or stressed out business people from nearby Livingston. Excellent train service nearby but you do need a car. Just 15 miles from Edinburgh Airport, Crosswoodhill is an exciting destination. Book with ease via the website. Credit cards welcome. “It was wonderful to hear the birds singing and the wind whispering in the trees, it’s like paradise!” “Here again… and again… and again! The atmosphere and hospitality continue to be wonderful.” “ Wish I could live here! A dream place with everything I could possibly want. Thanks, G, for making everything just so!” Crosswoodhill prefers bookings that run from a Saturday to a Saturday, so please try and build this into your Scottish itinerary!
