For those seeking a peaceful country getaway close to city sights and coastal delights, this charming two bedroom lodge offers the best of both worlds.

Set in a private estate where peacocks roam free, yet close to the market town of Haddington, Daffodil Cottage is an inviting spot for rest, relaxation, and active exploring.

Offering the perfect contrast to busy lives, the cottage sits in a tranquil spot on the Huntington Estate surrounded by rich woodland where guests can while away the hours watching the wildlife from the garden or enjoy some wonderful walks and cycling right from the doorstep.

Presented in a country cottage style, the overall feel is warm and inviting using calming neutrals from Farrow & Ball along with pretty floral finishes. The sitting room features deep sofas along with Sky TV for relaxation, while the wood burning stove adds that cosy touch at the end of a busy day.

The kitchen is compact but well-equipped for holiday living, including a Nespresso machine for a rich morning coffee on the private patio contemplating the day ahead. The two bedrooms are comfortably appointed with fresh crisp linens offering good space for couples or families.

The beaches and internationally renowned golf courses of Gullane, Muirfield and North Berwick are all within 15 miles of the cottage and its position close to the A1 means that the magnificent city of Edinburgh is only a thirty-minute drive.

OUTSIDE

The cottage sits in a large mature lawned garden - please note this is not fully enclosed. There is a small patio to the rear of the cottage with outside dining space and a barbecue. Peacocks roam free on the estate and around the cottage. There is a garden shed which guests can use to store bikes, golf clubs and other outdoor gear.

There is private parking for two cars.

Location

Extensive shopping and amenities can be found in Haddington (3 miles) where you will find an excellent selection of grocers, wine shops, florists and butchers sitting alongside charming gift, clothes shops and craft galleries.

Alternatively, relax and watch the world go by in one of the many cafes, delicatessens or tea rooms in the town including Diggory’s or The Loft for fabulous artisan breads and oven-fresh produce. For an easy evening takeaway, also look out for The Big Blu mobile van with its own wood-fired oven for delicious authentic pizza.

The Restoration Yard Store and Café in the heart of Dalkeith Country Park is also a top spot for a relaxed lunch and a spot of retail therapy, while children can enjoy some devilish exploits in the Fort Douglas Adventure Park.

For more elegant dining, head to La Potinière at Gullane (7 miles) for superb food or the Creel Restaurant at Dunbar (14 miles) for delicious seafood and award-winning cuisine. Also in Gullane, is Tom Kitchin's restaurant 'The Bonnie Badger' which is a fabulous 5 star AA restaurant using locally sourced produce washed down with artisan beers and wines from an impressive selection.

For something a little different, The Lobster Shack at North Berwick (12 miles) serves freshly caught lobster along with a cold beer or a crisp glass of prosecco right from the harbour front - a decidedly rustic but charming set-up with amazing sea views. Alternatively for a comfy nook and a perfectly roasted espresso head to The Steampunk Coffee House based in an old characterful warehouse in the centre of the town. And did we mention cakes? You can enjoy a scrumptious selection here including a rather heavenly pistachio and white chocolate Brownie!

The Little Things We Love

The garden and surrounding woodland allow you to enjoy serenity of the peaceful setting on the private estate.

Don't take our word for it...

A beautiful cottage in peaceful surroundings. There is lots to see and do in the surrounding areas with beaches just a short drive away. The owner was helpful but not intrusive. Thoughtful welcome pack on arrival. We will stay here again.
Mrs Nugent, 5th November 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely four day stay at Daffodil Cottage and really enjoyed our time there. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. Although located in a quiet rural location, the cottage is very central for all sorts of activities. We will certainly book with you again and thank you for your assistance in getting us organised!

Thank you for helping us organise our holiday accommodation at Daffodil Cottage, Haddington. As a family we really enjoyed our stay. The welcome pack was lovely and the guest information book was well written, easy to understand and useful. The accommodation was clean and tidy and everything was well equipped. P.s loved the peacocks and on our last evening a deer trotted by! Would definitely book with you again.
Towers family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely weekend at Daffodil Cottage, it was a great size and location for what we needed. We still enjoyed our stay though and the owners were very pleasant when we seen them. That is the second cottage we have stayed in through Crabtree & Crabtree and we haven’t been disappointed.
Mr & Mrs Moore, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely stay at Daffodil Cottage. The cottage was clean and very well stocked and the owner left us some food supplies which was a really nice touch. It was great dealing with the Crabtree and Crabtree team. Booking was made very easy and I had a few questions before our stay and these were answered promptly. So all in all a great experience and will be recommending you.
Turner family, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely time at Daffodil Cottage - great location/restful and peaceful, and the facilities/comfort probably best we've experienced after many such stays. The welcome basket was a nice touch and all in all we'd love to return.
Mr Joy, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely stay at Daffodil Cottage and would certainly recommend to anyone touring the area. The cottage is located very conveniently for Haddington and A1 connections but is in an idyllic country estate along a private driveway from the Manor House. Our hosts were helpful, approachable but discreet and the cottage was well appointed with all the essentials including a cosy wood burning stove. A particular treat was the local wildlife, including several deer with their fawns grazing in the fields near the cottage. A charming getaway with a truly rural ambience. Thank you.
Mr Sinclair, 18th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

As usual, we had a really restful and pleasant stay. We were impressed with the refurbishment especially the en-suite facilities (with heated floor!). The views are always splendid as is the setting. Haddington is an interesting and varied town with many useful facilities and individual (rather than clone) shops, cafes and restaurants. North Berwick is close at hand for something different and the track to Longniddry is great for exercise.
