The Bothy is a recently refurbished traditional farm cottage that dates back to the early 1800s and provides an ideal retreat for couples, families and golfers alike. It has its own private entrance leading into an open plan living room with kitchenette and a log burner stove. There is a wall-mounted smart TV with Netflix, YouTube and BBC iPlayer. Should you wish to cook, the kitchen is equipped with a mini oven, 2 induction hobs, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster and Nespresso coffee machine. Tea and coffee plus basic condiments are all provided. Guests have access to an iron and hair dryer. The spacious bathroom is fully modernised but also maintains some of its rustic charm. It is located downstairs and contains a large walk-in shower and heated towel rail. Downstairs there is also a large wardrobe with a hanging rail and room to store cases. The upper floor has 2 carpeted, loft-style bedrooms with coombed ceilings that are cozy and bright. Bedroom 1 has a king-sized platform bed and the second bedroom has 2 single beds. Both have underbed storage and other drawers/storage compartments and high quality Egyptian cotton bedding. The carpets & bedding are hypoalllergenic.
I am originally from Canada but have been living in Scotland for almost 20 years. Originally based in Edinburgh, my husband Scott and I along with our 2 children, relocated to Drem … and have never looked back! Once used by a blacksmith, today The Bothy is now a private guest accommodation that sits within the grounds of our family home. We are committed to ensuring our guests feel welcome and have the most comfortable and relaxing stay possible. Check-in arrangements are made to suit each guest prior to arrival.
Drem is a beautiful ‘hamlet’ in the heart of East Lothian. Only minutes from the seaside towns of Gullane & North Berwick and the Golf Coast, and also minutes from the Lammermuir Hills to the south, the area enjoys some of the best cycle routes in East Lothian too. Retaining some of its original features, The Bothy is only a stone’s throw from Drem train station, which provides regular services to North Berwick (5 mins) and Edinburgh (25 mins). Guests are welcome to enjoy the use of our front garden and The Bothy is located next to the Village Green where you can relax or play outside too. There are some lovely country walks in and around the area and free on-street parking right outside the property. Dogs are permitted by prior agreement only and for an additional charge. They must be well behaved and are not allowed on the beds or sofa. Information about what's going on locally is provided and regularly updated.
