Don’t miss out! We’re offering a whopping 15% off quoted rates on Winton’s self-catering properties for bookings until the end of February 2014.
East Lothian, rightly known as “Scotland’s Golf Coast”, boasts some of the best links courses and inland golf courses in the world, including North Berwick, Gullane, Dunbar and even Muirfield where this year’s Open was hosted.
There are 22 excellent golf courses within 10 to 20 minutes drive of Winton House, just half an hour from Edinburgh in East Lothian. These include Craigielaw, Royal Musselburgh (the oldest playing golf course in the world) and Longniddry, with friendly clubhouses and affordable green fees.
The owners of Winton played a critical role in developing East Lothian’s most famous golf courses because they owned the lands of Muirfield, Archerfield and Gullane.
If you are planning a golf break with friends, you might be interested in Winton Estate’s large, luxury self-catering country houses. Georgian Wintonhill Farmhouse is a 4 star self-catering farmhouse, which sleeps 12 to 14 people, complete with its own practice bunker and chipping area. There is also Winton Cottage, another extremely comfortable 5 star self-catering farmhouse with lots of character; it has 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and comfortably sleeps up to 10 to 12. Catering can also be provided.
“Wintonhill Farmhouse and Winton Cottage are amongst the best self-catering properties in East Lothian, and we can also advise visitors on booking and planning their golf rounds”, says James Maitland from Winton.
An even grander alternative is 500 year old Winton House, which sleeps up to 16 guests and provides facilities for large dinners, receptions and parties in historic Scottish Renaissance splendour.
For those who may not want to golf, East Lothian has wonderful sweeping sandy beaches, fishing, sailing, horse riding, hill walking, Musselburgh Racecourse, Glenkinchie Distillery, the Scottish Seabird Centre, the Museum of Flight, and, of course, the cultural city of Edinburgh.
The estate also has 20 km of Winton Walks for those who want a jog before breakfast. The events team can also lay on a range of entertaining activities, from clay pigeon shooting to whisky tasting or Winton hovercraft (please book in advance).
