AMERICA COTTAGE - 4 STAR, so called because it is on the west side of the water which is Slipperfield Loch - a magnificent seven acre lake visible from America Cottage, but more so in the wintertime. The cottage is private and secluded, about a five minute walk from Loch Cottage, in a beautiful position, with an open garden.

The cottage is a bungalow, sleeping up to 6 in two twin bedrooms and one double, all with very comfortable beds with duvets. The kitchen is a feature, with all the modern appliances. The sitting room has a super picture window; see the countryside from your armchair!

The bathroom has an overhead shower above the bath, wash-hand basin and W.C.; there is also a hall with payphone, and internet facilities are available if required for laptop owners.

America Cottage is convenient for the bus which takes you to Edinburgh, and the village of West Linton is just over a mile away with its shops, post office, bank, pubs, restaurant and bookshop etc.
