What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families and couples seeking a peaceful countryside break make up the typical guest at Belstane Log Cabin, set on Leyden Rd in Kirknewton within a short drive of Edinburgh and Livingston. Repeat visitors describe the accommodation as thoroughly comfortable and well appointed, with small gestures such as wine and fresh fruit left for arriving guests mentioned across several stays.

The isolated setting, surrounded by open fields where sheep, deer and birds of prey can be spotted, is raised often as a particular draw, alongside the effective heating and gas stove that keep the cabin cosy even in cooler months. Hosts Fiona and David are named repeatedly and praised for their warmth and their knowledge of the surrounding area, often pointing guests towards local days out, including a nearby zoo enjoyed by children. Dogs are accommodated without issue, a point noted by more than one family travelling with pets.

The private terrace looking out over the hillside is described as an ideal spot to unwind, and younger visitors have appreciated books and games left inside to keep them entertained during rainy spells. One guest noted the absence of internet access within the cabin itself. Its combination of rural seclusion and closeness to Edinburgh continues to define the appeal of this retreat near Kirknewton.

Well kept, peaceful and private. Close enough to Edinburgh and Livingston as well as the countryside. Had a great stay and the hosts are very friendly and helpful.

I can’t recommend Belstane Log Cabins highly enough. This was the perfect, beautiful, peaceful base for our stay in Scotland and Fiona and Dave made us very welcome. The cabin is cosy and beautifully furnished, set in a quiet location with plenty of room for our dogs to explore. The little extra touches, including a bottle of wine and fresh fruit bowl on arrival, were examples of the attention to detail that the owners put into making sure you have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We absolutely loved the cabin and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

It's a lovely log cabin in the middle of a field. Fiona and David were great hosts will definitely go back again.

My family stayed here for a week, what a beautiful place with lovely owners who couldn't do more to help. Complimentary wine and a welcome card was a nice touch. Pet friendly aswell. Only issue was no internet in the cabin itself.

Belstane Cabin is in an idyllic location, surrounded by fields and total tranquility. There is nobody within quarter of a mile of the cabin, meaning it is a wonderfully quiet retreat. It is exceptionally well equipped and wants for absolutely nothing. It is warm and cozy, with excellent heating and a gas stove to boot, with tons of hot water on demand. The views from all of the windows is nothing short of stunning and there is a patio terrace to enjoy the outdoors, when the climate permits. We enjoyed our stay very much, with the owners making us feel extremely welcome. We do not hesitate to recommend Belstane Cabin and we plan on returning for many more stays there in the future.
