The Craigie Hotel is just seven miles south of Edinburgh. Easily accessible ( just off the city bypass), we sit on the edge of Penicuik, a quiet town surrounded by beautiful countryside. The Craigie Hotel is right on the doorstep of many activities and places of interest – from our historic capital city Edinburgh itself, the world famous Rosslyn Chapel and other historical sites, or enjoying the Scottish countryside with ample golfing, fishing and walking on our doorstep.
Edinburgh, the Athens of the North, is known for its architectural beauty, its year-round festivals and festivities, and its history. We’re just 20 minutes away from the city, making the Craigie Hotel the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh but also for escaping to a quiet and friendly retreat to recharge your batteries.
Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by its starring role in the best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code, is only a few minutes from the hotel. A truly stunning building founded in the mid 15th century and still used as a place of worship today, it is open to visitors seven days a week.
A stunning Palladian style house built between 1761 and 1769 by Sir James Clerk. The mansion stands on an estate spanning 500 hectares and was a notable meeting point for many of the leading figures of the Scottish Enlightenment.
For a truly breathtaking experience in the stunning countryside of the Lothians, the Pentland Hills Regional Park is the perfect place. It offers fantastic hillwalking and beautiful panoramic views.
A historic Iron Age settlement situated in the nearby Pentland Hills, Castlelaw has a fascinating story. It offers great views across the Lothians, and the stunning walk there takes you through beautiful Scottish countryside.
Founded in 1890 and designed by Willie Park, Glencorse was voted one of Scotland’s hidden gems by US Sports Illustrated magazine. It is a picturesque 18-hole inland parkland course which provides a formidable test for the highest quality golfer, but is still great fun for the more modest competitor. Ideal for a day’s golf.
For those who wish to spend a day in the peace and tranquility of the Scottish countryside, Glencorse Reservoir in the Pentland Hills allows visitors the chance to hire a boat and fish.
