overview
Highfield is one of four holiday cottages here at Hillhouse Farm Escapes. With two roomy bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge lounge and large sit-in kitchen, you’ll have plenty of space within which to relax. This stone-built cottage was originally one of the farm’s shepherd’s quarters, though it’s had a bit of an upgrade in the years since! The most recent renovation was completed in 2022.
Guests will find the cottage extremely cosy as well as well-equipped for family or small group. Highfield can also be connected to Herniecleugh, extending the property to 4 bedrooms and 3 bath/shower rooms. The beautiful oak table in the kitchen is big enough to seat everyone!
You’ll have access to walks across Hillhouse Farm, starting right at the door of the holiday cottage (note that we are dog and horse friendly!). You can also make use of our tennis court which has fabulous views south – we have rackets you can borrow if needed! It’s also an excellent base for exploring the Scottish Borders, Northumberland, the Lothians and, of course, Edinburgh.

the details
the space
Highfield is a generously proportioned, semi-detached cottage. It’s built from beautiful local stone and dates back to the 1800s. The cottage is really cosy and has WiFi throughout.
kitchen & living room
The front door opens into the large living space. You’ll find modern, country interiors following the most recent full renovation in 2021. The living room has two comfy sofas, an armchair, smart TV and coffee table. There is also a round table and chairs which gives you extra space – for board games or cards, perhaps!
En route to the kitchen, you’ll find a downstairs loo and cloakroom area. The kitchen itself is extremely well equipped with a range cooker, big fridge and freezer, microwave, dishwasher and all of the crockery, cutlery, glassware and utensils you could need.
The large, oak dining table is set for 6 guests, and it’s also possible to extend it to fit 10 guests. You’ll find a small laundry room off the kitchen with washing machine, tumble dryer and iron.
bedrooms & bathrooms
You’ll find two airy bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, plenty of clothes storage for longer stays and a new en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is a twin room. The spacious family bathroom has a bath with shower, WC and sink. We can provide an additional camp bed if required as well as a travel cot.
outside spaces
The holiday cottage has a garden for your use – please note that it is not contained. You’ll also be able to play on our tennis court, and of course you have full access to outstanding walk and cycle routes on the farm.
