WINTON FARMHOUSE WINTON HOUSE, PENCAITLAND, EAST LOTHIAN (01875 340 222, WWW.WINTONHOUSE.CO.UK)

Where is it?

Looking out over the Lammermuir and Pentland Hills, in East Lothian, the farmhouse stands on the 2,000-acre Winton estate, just a short distance from Winton House - a stately home that dates back to the Scottish Renaissance. A walk around its beautiful terraced gardens and lake is highly recommended, although since you'll have your own extensive gardens, including a walled orchard, barbecue area and golf practice bunker, you may just prefer to stay put and take in the views.
