House of Cockburn is a wonderfully spacious home, perfect for large multigenerational family holidays or reunions.
It is a beautifully cared for, historic family mansion.
Helen and Jamie, the owners, are delightful hosts and we enjoyed a fantastic meal they prepared. Other evenings we cooked ourselves which worked well as the kitchen is equipped with everything needed. Eating meals in the formal dining room felt like we were at a banquet!
The fields around the house have ponies, goats and pigs, which were an added bonus, providing fun for all ages. The location just outside Balerno is great. We hired cars to visit Edinburgh, St Andrews and many other towns and surrounding villages. Other days we hiked in the Pentland Hills nearby and also along the scenic coast of Fife.
This is a wonderful property for an authentic Scottish farm experience. We highly recommend it and hope to be back!
