As its name suggests, Kirknewton House Stables is a former stables block. It is about 10 miles from Edinburgh City Centre, but feels about 1000 miles away.  It’s location offers the ideal country setting, but without the long drive.  You would never know you were a stone’s throw away from Scotland’s Capital city.
