The details

The Bonnie Wee Bothy is a quaint retreat for two that offers couples a romantic getaway in the beautiful East Lothian countryside. Tranquil and calming, this is the perfect place to relax in peace, which is made easier when you consider you have your own roll-top outdoor bath and private wood-fired sauna.

Inside, this is a dreamy escape, with exposed stonework walls, beautiful wooden floors and picture windows framing the stunning views. Get comfy on the sofa in the lounge in front of the wood-burning fireplace with a good book as you take your first coffee of the day whilst staying toasty and warm in front of the flames.

Then, head outside into your wonderful garden, where you can chat the afternoon away whilst soaking in your marvellous surroundings. Fill up the outdoor bath and enjoy a soak with a glass of bubbles as the sun begins to set. Your own private wood-fired sauna is another luxurious touch, and is a great way to rest weary muscles after a day spent wandering the amazing surrounding scenery.

If you grow hungry, the quaint kitchenette is nicely equipped with everything you need to prepare tasty meals, which you can enjoy at the dining table inside. Then, after dinner, grab a drink and head back outside and light the firepit, chatting the night away as the stars come out above.

Entertainment during the stay includes an extensive collection of books, games and a radio - though there is no TV or WiFi, so you can truly disconnect as you unwind. And, nice touches like dressing gowns and eco-conscious toiletries really add to your stay.

Perched on a scenic farm just outside East Linton, the bothy sits along the iconic John Muir Way, offering a peaceful base for exploring winding trails, open fields and gentle hills. Whether it’s wild swimming, beach walks or simply soaking in the tranquillity of the Scottish landscape, there’s adventure - or calm - around every corner.

After a day in the outdoors, enjoy a hearty meal at a nearby pub or pick up fresh fish and chips from one of East Lothian’s charming harbours. With local tips and hidden gems at hand, every stay feels uniquely yours.
