Ravenswood | House in East Lothian
2 Bedroom House in Haddington, East Lothian
Beautifully restored countryside retreat in rural East Lothian
Ravenswood is a thoughtfully restored countryside cottage offering a peaceful rural escape in the heart of East Lothian. Set on a picturesque working farm at the foot of the Lammermuir hills, this relaxed and welcoming retreat combines contemporary comfort with warm, understated traditional character. Filled with natural light and enjoying a south-facing aspect, Ravenswood is a calm and comfortable base designed for slowing down, switching off, and making the most of the surrounding countryside.
Perfectly suited to couples, small families, or friends, the cottage offers a homely and inviting space for those looking to experience the very best of the region. With garden views, quiet surroundings, and easy access to woodland walks and open farmland, it is a lovely place to return to after a day exploring East Lothian’s coast, villages, golf courses, and historic sites.
While wonderfully rural, Ravenswood sits just outside Gifford - a picturesque conservation village rich in history, where you can stroll through the historic Yester Estate or explore the atmospheric ruins of Yester Castle. It provides the perfect base for discovering the independent shops and market-town charm of nearby Haddington, the dramatic ruins of Tantallon Castle, and the beaches, harbours, and seaside cafés of North Berwick. East Lothian’s pristine coastline, including Yellowcraig and Tyninghame Beach, is within easy reach, along with world-class golf courses, local wild swimming, and the buzz of central Edinburgh, just 18 miles away.
