Welcome...
Escape the city crowds, park your car with ease and enjoy the freedom of self-catering in one of our four centrally heated, stone-built, traditional and contemporary homes. Graded annually by VisitScotland as being "of a very good /excellent / exceptional standard"  our 3, 4 and 5 STAR  properties offer almost everything you could wish for to make your stay enjoyable. Relax in front of an open fire, enjoy a video, the hi-fi, a book or board game.  Or, pull on your boots to explore our livestock farm and listen to birdsong...

Pictured here are our 4 properties, all uniquely different, but all sharing the Crosswoodhill trademarks of charm, character, warmth, style, home comforts and caring hosts. Most have 3 bedrooms and all are available all year round. Three properties are pet and wheelchair-friendly. 

White, light and bright, with beautiful fittings and fabrics, the interiors are exceptionally tasteful and pleasing to the eye.  "The decor is superb... the eye for detail amazing" is a typical comment in our Visitors' Books.
 

Choose between Midcrosswood (above), a gem of a cottage one mile distant on the heather-clad moors of the Pentland Hills, Steading Cottage at the hub of the farm, or the self-contained Wing of Crosswoodhill, a 2-storey apartment in our spacious, handsome, 200 year old, farmhouse. (The Wing is located in the older part of the building, spanning from the centre to far left of the photo). Alternatively, Orlege End, our newest addition, with its 5 Star grading, may offer just the relaxing luxurious break you need.

And don't just take our word for it that Crosswoodhill Cottages are special.

But first..
Why make Crosswoodhill your base?

And what's so special about Our Area?

Less than an hour's drive away are palaces, castles, stately homes, a huge range of museums, a zoo and butterfly farm. With hill walking, fishing, golf, an impressive choice of indoor leisure pursuits and wonderful shops, galleries, theatres and restaurants all so close, there's an amazing amount to see and do --- for all ages, all interests and in all weathers.

Crosswoodhill a haven for holidaymakers... a favourite for family gatherings and reunions... even small weddings... a boon for business travellers...

Wool-Gathering at "The Wing"

For business people, with or without family, Crosswoodhill offers a real home from home.  Just twenty minutes' drive away from commercially thriving Livingston, West Lothian, and 35 minutes from the heart of Edinburgh, a home on the Pentland Hills is the perfect place to unwind.

"Having come to Crosswoodhill for the first time last year we had to come again to see if it was really as good as we thought it was. Happily it was!!  In a (Visitors') Book full of superlatives it is difficult to add anything new, but this is not really a holiday cottage, it's a fantastic home for a week."

To get a good feel for all our very different properties, why not have a look at some of the other nice things our guests have written?  And whilst on our Comments Page, smile at the antics of our cows, enjoy a panoramic view of the Pentland Hills..and feel welcomed in Scotland.
