Woodturner’s Cottage

Woodturner's Cottage is a beautifully renovated former carpenter’s workshop. It is part of a 19th century farm steading on Simon and Jackie’s dairy and arable farm near the picturesque village of Gifford in East Lothian, Scotland.

The farm is located at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills but just a half hour drive from Edinburgh and is the ideal base for family, golfing or walking holidays with the best of East Lothian's stunning countryside on your doorstep, as well as a number of great golf courses and beaches within a stone’s throw.
