The Steading at Hearthstanes Estate - Mathieside Cairn Cottage

Renovated traditional Steading cottage on a working hill farm in the Scottish Borders. Set in unspoiled countryside with great opportunities for hiking, sightseeing, stalking, fishing and falconry on the Estate itself. We are within easy reach of Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, as well as Newcastle ferry port.

The cobbled Steading courtyard is shared by five other cottages, stables and 9-pin automated bowling alley, which is available for hire. There is a free picnic table and BBQ within courtyard for all guests. The Steading is set within Hearthstanes Estate, a traditional Scottish hill farm with extensive woodland, its ideal for many outdoor activities.

Within the Steading courtyard this self-catering cottage contains a living-room with dining area, modern country kitchen with stove, microwave (with oven function), and fridge/freezer. There is an additional bathroom with shower on the ground floor. On the open-plan first floor there is a double bed and a double sofa bed, in addition to the main bathroom, which has a bathtub with shower attachment, toilet and wash basin. In total about 80 square meters over the two floors. Electric heating and hot water is provided by our own hydro electric system.
