It may just be a 40 minute drive from the centre of Edinburgh, but the Bonnie Wee Bothy feels like it’s on a different planet.
The eco-lodge is nestled on on a family farm just outside the ancient East Lothian village of East Linton, close to the scenic John Muir Way, and has everything you need to relax.
There’s a comfy living area with wood-burning stove (but no television or wi-fi), a snuggly double bed, a well-equipped kitchen and shower room, with an outdoor bath, seating area and firepit for sublime stargazing.
And there’s no need to leave the dog behind - as well-behaved pets are welcome.
It’s a guilt-free option, as the whole place has been built in the most environmentally friendly way possible, using sustainably-sourced materials including local wood and hemp insulation, while green activities such as creating nutrient-rich compost are on offer to guests.
