The Secret Hideaway is located in a wonderfully secluded location albeit with many attractions and shopping facilities nearby. It is an ideal bolt hole if you want to visit Edinburgh and stay in the nearby countryside or visit local attractions such as Rosslyn Chapel, Dalkeith Country Park and the Restoration Yard with many other attractions nearby. Being located next to the Pentland Hills you have on the hand the most wonderful walks and mountain bike trails.
