About this property
ISLAY House, Comfortable home- private garden, in quiet village, near Edinburgh
Islay House is a beautiful, Victorian home in the peaceful village of Pencaitland. Ideally situated for accessing Edinburgh or the golf courses and beaches of East Lothian. The accommodation forms the East Wing of our home and has its own front door, private garden and gated driveway. The house has a fully equipped modern kitchen, Wi-Fi, 55 inch Smart TV with Netflix and Prime. The village has 2 shops, Petrol Station, a new Gastropub - The Winton, opened in Aug, 2022-very busy, would recommend booking, and the Glenkinchie Whisky distillery. Pet must not be left alone in property
