Very pleasant place to stay

This 3 bedroom cottage with open plan living dining and kitchen space was the perfect place for me to stay and invite family members for meals and to stay occasionally. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. I would certainly recommend and will without any doubt return.

Family long weekend

The property was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Bonus for my husband was having all the sports channels to watch the champions league final! The property is locate in a small housing estate and was easy enough to find. The weather was fantastic which made our stay even better! There isn’t a garden or outdoor space which we definitely would have used given the weather but the beach is within walking distance.

Great house for golfing or family holiday

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during our recent golf holiday. The house was pristine and offered loads of space for four golfers (and could accommodate more). Location-wise, the house is about perfect, with easy access to so many world class golf courses nearby. We'll definitely be back - as soon as next year and I wouldn't hesitate to return with my family. Craig, the owner, is a great and welcoming person. He responded to all queries in a quick fashion and was the consummate host. If I could offer more than 5 stars, I would. I can't wait to return.

Muirfield steading

Beautifully furnished cottage in a stunning area of Scotland. Very comfortable and TV in bathroom great fun. Coffee machine a bonus although I seemed to have spent a lot of money on the chocolate pods. Cottage in a quiet cul de sac with very friendly and helpful neighbours. Owner always on hand to deal with problems although we had none. Lots of golfing and too many courses to choose from. You can hire bikes at Archerfield wall garden. Good farm shop there as well. Easy and reasonable to get into Edinburgh by train so visited the festival. Also did a long trip out to Blair Atholl 2 hours but make sure you avoid Edinburgh rush hour. North Berwick lovely and would recommend Ice cream parlour (well deserved awards) and Zittos excellent as pasta dishes come in 3 sizes. Weather was also good but if wet cottage comfortable to stay in.

A great holiday house in an ideal location

I stayed here for a week in April with my hubby,our two boys aged 13 and 10 and my mum aged 78. It was perfect for our needs, being on a small, quiet estate, and only 15 minutes walk to the town centre, and similar distance to the fabulous beach. What we liked best was there are so many nice places to cycle to - along the John Muir Way, and therefore totally traffic- free.:) We only used the car once all week. Self catering was easy in the house, but we also ate out a couple of times, which was positive both times. The bedrooms in the house are small, but the beds are very comfy. We enjoyed the novelty of a TV in the bathroom, and the shower in the ensuite is lovely too.The living room / kitchen is compact, though cooking was easily managed. We are tall people, and used all the space. Had we been 6 adults we might have felt a bit cramped at times, but if there are kids in your party you will be fine for space. Would definitely return and happy to recommend.

Tolles Haus in toller Umgebung

Das Haus entsprach exakt der Beschreibung und den Bildern und war sehr sauber und gepflegt. In wenigen Minuten ist man zu Fuß im Ortszentrum von Gullane, wo man von guten Restaurants über einen Metzger und (deutschen) Bäcker bis hin zu kleineren Supermärkten alles findet, um sich mit den Dingen des Alltags versorgen zu können (bei Bedarf finden sich unweit in North Berwick auch mehrere große Discounter). Ebenso ist man innerhalb weniger Minuten zu Fuß am Strand oder auf einem der umliegenden Golfplätze. Ausflugsziele gibt es auch in der näheren Umgebung viele (z.B. Dirleton Castle, Tantallon Castle, Scottish Seabird Centre, National Museum of Flight). Und nach Edinburgh kann man auch problemlos mit dem Zug fahren (z.B. ab Drem oder Longniddry). Insgesamt haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Haus absolut empfehlen.

Excellent property, well maintained, like home from home.

A lovely bungalow on the edge of Gullane, with all essentials and plenty more besides, the coffee machine in the kitchen was an excellent bonus. The property is about a mile from the centre of Gullane which has a good selection of pubs, restaurants and a great fish and chip shop! The golf in the surrounding area is outstanding and plenty of choice to satisfy all levels of the game. The North Berwick coast is beautiful with great walks and if fine then lovely sunsets across the Forth estuary. Well worth going back again.

About the host

Hosted by Craig Wood

My name is Craig Wood. I have owned Gullane Steading Holiday Home since 2009 and was my home until 2015. I grew up in Aberlady, which is a small village a mere 2.5 miles from Gullane. I own a catering company called Craig Wood Catering, which provides mainly marquee weddings at our own venue, The Seton Garden. I live with my wife Lisa and our sons Josh and Clark in Aberlady. My hobbies are Golf (a must if you live in this area) and playing the bagpipes. I take great pride in everything that I do and I will always do my best to ensure that your stay is exactly what you are looking for.

Why they chose this property

Muirfield Steading is a remarkably unique converted Steading (or barn) which is approximatly 30 years old. It still has the old stone facings on the outside and remarkably modern on the inside. It has been finished to a very high standard of which I am sure you will enjoy as much as I have for so many years. It's location on the edge of the famous village of Gullane, makes it far enough away from any noise but close enough to walk to all that the village has to offer, including bars, restaurants, shops, coffee shops, Golf courses, beach etc

What makes this property unique

Definitely the old stone building, with open plan, spacious living area to enjoy everyones company whilst watching television, dining, cooking or simply reading a magazine after a hard days activities.
