Daffodil Cottage
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.

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!
