This beautiful home away from home is ideal for couples or a small family looking to enjoy a superb accessible location just south of the city of Edinburgh. Just on the outskirts of Roslin, a place noted recently in Dan Brown’s ’The Da Vinci Code’, and at the start of the Pentland Hills, this is a great place to base yourselves for your time away. Being surrounded by attractions it’s expected that guests will be out exploring and enjoying themselves, however if there was a reason to want to stay and relax then Whitehouse Studio will give you a very good excuse to do just that.
There are two bedrooms on the upper floor. The larger of the two, the main principal bedroom, has the added luxury of an en-suite shower room. The main shower room is on the ground floor and has a three-piece suite, with a larger shower providing that luxury feel that this property offers. The living room is excellent and has been professionally dressed by interior designers. A very well-proportioned living and dining room enjoys patio doors to the garden, a fabulous feature on a warm sunny evening. Guests will also have their own private garden area when they can enjoy meals al fresco and a glass of something cold on summer nights.
The area is steeped in history, and Roslin Chapel is most certainly worth a visit. Scotland’s largest dry slope is just a few miles away at Hillend.
Just 7 miles north is Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital city. If looking to experience The Edinburgh Festival in the month of August, the property is well situated for the Straiton Park and Ride or a five-minute walk to a bus stop. The bus takes approximately half an hour into the city centre of Princes Street, where you can gain easy access to The Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s Old Town and the historic Grassmarket- which is towered by Edinburgh Castle. At the end of the festival there is normally spectacular fireworks display from the castle esplanade and the famous Tattoo is hosted there too. An easy drive would take you to Ingliston where there is another Park and Ride for you to leave your car and jump on the newly finished tram line-travelling through Princes Street-and which is now extended to the port of Leith.
The recently renovated St James Quarter located at the east end of Princes Street offers lots of shopping and plenty of eating places and at the west end you can experience many of Scotland’s famous Whiskies at Diageo’s Johnnie Walker Experience.
At one end of The Royal Mile is Holyrood Palace and Arthurs Seat giving fabulous views of Fife and beyond if you are energetic enough for a climb.
The area is ideal as a base given that places like St. Andrews, Loch Lomond, Stirling, and Glasgow are all reachable, either within an hour or just over. Within half an hour the Borders town of Peebles is another favourite place to visit for a walk. North Berwick to the east is an easy drive along the A1 where again there is lots to explore and offers a lovely day out. Beach 10 miles.

Beautiful house and garden with amazing view of the hills.Everything you could need in a lovely clean and immaculate house.Perfect location for trips into Edinburgh (local buses nearby and also the park and ride) and also the gorgeous countryside on the doorstep. Would highly recommend.

This is not a studio, it's a large 2-bed house with extensive patio, gardens and parking, so plenty of space. However, it is a white house which has been tastefully decorated in white and subtle tones. The house is extremely well equipped and maintained and spotlessly clean, like a 5* hotel clean. The beds are divinely comfortable, like sleeping on clouds and the place is super quiet. 5 mins walk to the bus stop for 2 buses into Edinburgh and your hosts Irene and Dave are very friendly and helpful. A thoroughly lovely place to spend time.
