The Boathouse

Overview

Located in the heart of the Dundas Estate on a private loch, it is a one bedroom cottage with beautiful views over the water and provides you with the most perfect and cosy retreat. You can wake up to a luxury breakfast on the veranda whilst watching a myriad of wild bird life including swans, herons, ducks and coot.


The Boathouse is hired independently of the castle and can be a fantastic gift or a surprise for a loved one. The luxurious main room in the Boathouse has been beautifully decorated to the highest standard. With windows on 3 sides of the cottage, you have a perfect panoramic view of your private loch and surrounding woodland. The inviting seating area provides you with comfortable place to relax in front of the fire while enjoying a warming drink or a glass of the complimentary whisky.

The en-suite bathroom has an electric shower with over-sized shower head and comes complete with his and hers bathrobes and luxurious towels and toiletries. The kitchenette houses an electric cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, hot beverage making facilities and cooking and dining utensils allowing for a romantic dinner to be made and enjoyed on the balcony. Should you choose to leave the seclusion of the Boathouse then a short drive will take you to South Queensferry, with its charming stores, historic buildings, waterfront pubs and restaurants and of the memorable views of the famous bridges.

Each morning a deluxe breakfast hamper is delivered to your door which can also be enjoyed on the balcony while you take in the spectacular views of the loch and woodland. With a variety of bird and wild life, throughout the estate, there is much to appreciate in these tranquil surroundings.

The Boathouse will be serviced each day and taxis to South Queensferry, Edinburgh city or local restaurants can be arranged with prior notice.
