Location

The Woodland Plot is situated in a rural position adjacent to the hamlet of Ballencrieff, which nestles amidst the swathe of fertile farmland between Aberlady and Haddington, for which East Lothian is so well known.

The nearby conservation village of Aberlady is in a delightful setting on the southern shores of the Firth of Forth. The village has a primary school, Margiotta grocery store, the Grace of India restaurant, The Old Aberlady Inn gastro pub and the newly opened Leddie boutique hotel and restaurant.

Gullane has a larger array of independent retailers including a butcher, deli and sports shop and there is also a local gym. Private schooling is available at Loretto in Musselburgh, the Compass School in Haddington, and Belhaven Hill in Dunbar. All are very accessible, as are the Edinburgh schools.

The market town of Haddington lies about 4 miles to the south and there is fast road access via the A1 to Edinburgh (21 miles) as well as a convenient commuter rail link from both Longniddry and Drem. Edinburgh Airport is about 29 miles away and provides regular domestic and international flights. The East Lothian coastline is well known for its pretty scenery and Aberlady Bay is renowned for its Nature Reserve, which has fabulous bird life, including many thousands of over-wintering geese. This area is, however, probably best known for its wonderful golf courses, including Craigielaw and Kilspindie on the edge of the village, and Longniddry, Archerfield, Luffness, Gullane, North Berwick and Muirfield. The property's proximity to the Lammermuir Hills means that there is a wide range of other outdoor activities within easy reach.
