Stravaig Cottage

Trudi’s cottage was perfect for our weekend escape. The bedrooms were comfortable and well equipped, the showers and bath were amazing and the addition of extra luxuries such as robes/slippers and lovely soaps/shampoos was an added bonus. We had a lovely, relaxing weekend at the cottage. It was nice to escape the stresses of everyday life!

A lovely place to relax with great touches and a little bit of luxury

Cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. Garden was ideal for our dog & children. Cottage was perfectly clean and bathrooms very luxurious!

The cottage and our stay was perfect! It’s situated in a gorgeous, quiet area to relax in whilst also being just a short drive to some lovely places and sites.
The team went out of their way to help us organise a surprise on arrival for a big birthday, and Trudi was always available for anything we needed.
I would 100% recommend staying here and we’ll hopefully be back soon!

Stayed at the Cottage for a week in August with my husband and my thirteen year old daughter. We had a very comfortable stay. Trudi was a fantastic host. We found the description of the cottage very accurate. The cottage was super clean and very comfortable. We loved it and we hope to return next year.

This cottage has been perfect for our trip away, it was immaculately clean and decorated beautifully. It was the perfect size for myself and my boyfriend and his parents and our Spaniel Piper. The cottage is super dog friendly and we were provided with a dog bed and bowl, Piper loved this trip just as much as we did. We visited several gorgeous beaches that were near by, if you are looking for a relaxing trip to the countryside this cottage is for you. My mother-in law and I took part in Anna’s Foresting Bathing that was at CarFrae Farm and it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it if you’re interested in medication and nature. Thanks again Trudi!

Trudi was a lovely host, Response to mail was quick and was very accommodating to our requests. She was even there at Check-in so the great instructions were not used. And later rescued us from a flooded road on the way to the garvald inn.
The cottage was clean comfortable and beautifully decorated in good condition.
We really enjoyed our stay and visited many of the surrounding places easily from here.

We had a lovely time at Carfrae Farm. The cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. It’s so peaceful and the views are incredible. Garvald is close by the Garvald Inn is handy for food. It was great for dogs and local walks, as well as seeing wildlife like hares, stoats and buzzards. East Lothian sites are very accessible. Beautiful cottages and Trudi was great and responsive if we ever needed anything. We would definitely return.

Such a beautiful property – interior design reminiscent of a boutique hotel, yet cosy and homely too. A gorgeous part of the world – we visited Edinburgh, the coast at North Berwick and had a very tasty toastie from the Lanterne Rouge in Gifford, where there’s also a couple of pubs and a handy co-op. Trudi was a very responsive and friendly host – we even had fresh raspberries left for us which was a lovely surprise! Super stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Carfrae is welcoming, quaint and super quality – small touches make all the difference – countryside amazing. Highly recommend.

A beautiful quiet location and lovely views across the fields. Nice big bed upstairs. Different places to sit outside when the weather is good. We didn’t like the breakfast bar type table in the kitchen which is not very comfy and the space in the living room for dining table is quite small.
The bath is gorgeous and has a view out over fields. A very relaxing place to stay especially when there is no one else around. Trudy was very helpful.

Great location. Peaceful and quite. A great place to relax. Cottage is well equipped, all very modern and new. Garden area very nice to spend time when weather is nice. Check in very easy and a helpful and personalised instruction manual on arrival. Trudi is very attentive and communication second to none. A few local villages close by with a couple of good restaurants/pubs (Goblin Ha a notable example in Gifford). Many thanks for an excellent few days away.

We had a brilliant stay here and would definitely recommend! The cottage is lovely and cosy but still spacious – 4 of us stayed here with a dog and plenty of room for us all. It’s a great place to relax, the beds are really comfy and the blinds block out the light so you can get a nice lie in. The bathrooms are lovely too with a rainfall shower and an amazing looking bath in the other. Everything was really clean and you can tell a lot of care has been put into the cottage with lots of thoughtful touches like blankets if you get cold or a cafetière/coffee pod machine if you’re into your coffee. The kitchen had everything we could have needed and there are nice soaps and shower gels etc. We had a brilliant stay, and Trudi was a brilliant host – proactively checked in to see if we needed anything and gave us some great tips of places to go! Thoroughly recommend, thanks Trudi for such a lovely stay!

We really enjoyed our short stay at Trudi’s cottage. The location was quiet and Trudi promptly responded to any questions we had. She was a fantastic host and we will probably visit again in the near future as it’s the perfect location to visit north Berwick and Dunbar. We were lucky to have good weather and made the most of touring about but also enjoying the cottage’s beautiful garden in the evening. Highly recommended.

This is an absolutely gorgeous property with stunning views across the East Lothian countryside. The quality of the bedlinen and extra touches such as luxury soaps and shower gels made it feel like a hotel.

We had a really comfortable stay here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to explore the countryside.
