Gorton House & Cottages, Lasswade, Midlothian (Sleeps 1-33)

Gorton House & Cottages offers wonderful self catering accommodation in Lasswade, just outside of Scotland's fabulous capital of Edinburgh. All of our cottages are set within a walled garden next to Roslin Glen and enjoy stunning views towards the Pentland Hills.

Gorton House

A spacious five bedroom holiday house with all modern facilities which retains the character and features of the original 17th Century farmhouse and it’s Victorian extension. The master bedroom with its bay window framing the view over Roslin Glen is a favourite feature for guests, as are the grand staircase and the log burning stoves.

The East house sleeps 6 in a double and two twin rooms. There is also a shower room and a bathroom.

The ingle-nook fireplace in the sitting room houses a wood burning stove, perfect for keeping you toasty in the chillier months. The kitchen is well-equipped and a patio door opens onto a delightful garden area.

Stable Cottage

The first of our holiday cottages was created by the conversion of the former stables in the grounds of Gorton House. The views over Roslin Glen (a nature reserve on the banks of the River North Esk) towards the Pentland Hills are spectacular. As the conversion was extensive, (almost a complete rebuild) this holiday cottage enjoys modern standards of construction resulting in a very cosy premises but retaining the 17th Century look and feel. Sleeps 2 in a king room which has patio doors to the garden. The sitting room patio door looks directly onto fields and woods making Stable Cottage a favourite for wildlife enthusiasts. Flat-screen TV and Wi-Fi are available.

These three Holiday Cottages were built to match the character of the nearby historic Gorton House. All have south-facing views into The Walled Garden and are named after the fruit trees are grown in the particular area in which they are situated.
