Region

Welcome to East Lothian, the land of castles, golf courses, seaside havens and a whole lot of character! Tucked away on Scotland's east coast, this enchanting region sits just outside the vibrant city of Edinburgh. Oliver's Travels has sprinkled a bit of luxury magic all over the place, from snug cottages to elegant manor houses and even the odd castle!

Now, let's talk landmarks. Tantallon Castle is the rockstar of historical hotspots. Perched dramatically on cliffs, it is like the celebrity of medieval fortresses, dating back to the 14th century. Nearby, North Berwick is where golfers go to swing their clubs and enjoy views that are basically a nature-induced spa for the eyes. If you are more of a tranquility seeker, the John Muir Country Park is your sanctuary of natural zen. Named after a Scottish-American nature superhero, this park is like a green hug along the coastline. Belhaven Bay is the beachy haven for birdwatchers, sun-worshippers and water sports fanatics, a sandy paradise waiting for your adventurous footprints. Haddington is like a historic market town dressed in cobblestone couture. St. Mary's Church and Lennoxlove House are 13th-century gems that add cultural glitter. Tranent, the vibrant town in the mix, is party central, hosting wonderful events. Dunbar, the coastal village, is where history meets Mother Nature. Dunbar Castle, perched dramatically on a rocky promontory, is like the wise old storyteller with panoramic views as its tales. It is also the birthplace of John Muir, the nature guy. Dunbar celebrates his legacy with a museum, the John Muir's Birthplace, where you can practically feel the green vibes.

East Lothian's calendar is busy. The Haddington Farmers' Market is the foodie's paradise, showcasing fresh veggies. If you are into culture, the Fringe by the Sea festival in North Berwick is where music, comedy and literature throw a coastal bash.

East Lothian offers culinary wonders. Seafood, including the famous Scottish salmon, is the star on many menus. And let's not forget haggis, the local hero. Traditional Scottish dishes are served with a side of warm hospitality that will make you feel like you never want to leave.
East Lothian is that cool friend who knows all the best spots. It is where history, nature and culture mingle, creating an unforgettable experience.

Steading Yard is the perfect retreat for families, providing ample outdoor space for children to explore. The expansive paddocks and fields are ideal for running and playing, while younger kids will delight in the woodland play area and picnic spots. Older children can engage in friendly competition with table football and table tennis, ensuring everyone remains entertained.

This property features multiple self-contained accommodations, allowing smaller groups or families to enjoy privacy while also socialising together in the spacious main farmhouse, offering flexibility for families of all sizes. Inside, the properties include several versatile bedrooms that can be arranged as super king or twin beds, catering to diverse family needs. A twin bed layout is great for sibling sleepovers, while older kids may prefer the seclusion of a super king bedroom for a restful night.

Just a short drive away, Edinburgh provides exciting activities for kids of all ages. Thrilling adventures await at the Edinburgh Dungeon, where they can uncover the city’s spooky history with live actors. Families can also visit the Dynamic Earth science center or hike up Arthur's Seat for breathtaking views. With so much to do both at the farmhouse and nearby, Steading Farmhouse is an outstanding holiday destination for families!
