Tucked away down a cobbled back street in the pretty Scottish town of Culross, steeped in history and home to galleries, cafes and restaurants, The Cottage makes the perfect retreat for those wishing to enjoy all this lovely area offers. Dating back to the 1600s, this pretty, traditional homestead has been lovingly renovated and transformed into a modern, stylish property which has retained its charm and character.
The owners have brought together the best of British and Scandinavian style. The living room is home to a sleek Ercol-style sofa, while a large comfy armchair invites guests to sink in and warm toes by the cosy fireplace. Large windows with deep sills allow natural light to pour into the room during the daytime while statement lighting creates a warm ambience after dark.
Guests will love getting cosy after long days exploring and enjoying delicious suppers together in the lovely kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is farmhouse modern with all the conveniences visitors might need for creating memory-making meals. A pendant light is suspended above the wooden dining table which has Scandinavian design chairs, making it a great spot to socialise with a glass of wine, play cards, or plan the day ahead.
When bed time beckons, there are two kingsized bedrooms to chose from. The larger of the two has a delightful en-suite bathroom and a separate bathroom services the other bedroom. Beds are dressed in crisp linens and cosy duvets with warm greys contrasting with bright whites, while soft furnishings and lamps add a splash of colour. Draw straws for the West-facing room which boasts views of magnificent sunsets. Alternatively, head out to the west-facing terrace to enjoy afternoon sun or a morning coffee.
There is plenty to keep visitors busy in Culross including the Ochre-coloured palace. Its tiny rooms, connecting passageways and painted ceilings make for a fascinating visit. The palace organic garden shop is a great place to purchase homegrown seasonal herbs, fruit and vegetables but for guests looking to eat out there are plenty of good options too. Enjoy afternoon tea and scones at Bessie Bar Cafe or head to The Red Lion for some great pub food and some Scottish hospitality. Guests may also wish to hop in the car and make a short trip to the vibrant capital city of Edinburgh with its array of fantastic pubs, eateries, and marvellous historic sites

Leave a reviewMe and my friends had an unforgettable stay at The Dundonald Cottage! The breakfast hamper was a delight, which had locally sourced eggs, juice, homemade granola, bread and pastries. The beautiful furniture added to the cozy ambiance, complemented by the warm and welcoming service. We arrived to a greeting from Laura which was a lovely touch, and the quaint village setting, with a nearby pub serving hearty meals, made it even more special. The thoughtful details, from excellent shower products to the festive surprises like mince pies, chocolate coins, and a New Year's Prosecco from the delightful Laura, truly made this experience exceptional.

This cottage is beautifully decorated,clean and well equipped. It’s an ideal location to explore the Firth of Forth area. The beds are comfortable and all the bedding and towels were clean, soft and comfortable. The breakfast hamper which arrived every morning contained a selection of delicious treats to start the day. There are plenty of walks in the local area and a friendly pub which offers excellent refreshments. Edinburgh is only 40 mins away so this is an ideal place to stay offering peace and quiet in contrast to hustle and bustle of the city. Laura was friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
