Balerno Ski Chalet | Edinburgh Hideaway in the Pentland Hills near Balerno

1 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Balerno

"Serenio" ( Serene Studio ;) is purposely built to host our relatives when staying with us in the beautiful scenic surroundings of the Pentland Hills close to Edinburgh. More and more friends-of-friends have discovered our hideway so we are now managing it through this portal.
It's setting is idyllic and private in 2 acres of woodland also providing space to enjoy and for our chickens, goats and pig to roam. Located about 300m above sea level there are fantastic views over the hills down to the Firth of Forth with Edinburgh Castle in the distant skyline.
We are in the beautiful Pentland Hills Regional Park where you will have straight from "Serenio" access to an abundance of nature, hills, streams, lochs, hiking trails, mountain bike tracks etc, but most of all peace and beauty.
Nevertheless it is a short walk to the small nearby conservation villages with local shops, but where one can take the famous double-decker bus (every 10 min at daytime and also a Nightbus) which takes you in 30 minutes into the city centre. The City of Edinburgh is beautiful, historic and bustling with an abundance of (free) museums, architectonic beauty and cultural events.
In one sentence: raw nature and cosmopolitan experiences combined and we ourselves never fail to discover something new and interesting after the almost 20 years we now lived in Scotland.
It typically sleeps 2 and has en-suite bathroom facilities, but the setup is flexible with two double daybeds. With its full facilities and kitchen it is available to rent as self-catering accommodation.
For children there is plenty of play equipment scattered around the woodland including a massive trampoline, swings, tumble bar, flying fox and the various tree houses.

Summary: Excellent
Elli P. Jul 21, 2021 01:01:09 PM
Summary: We had an excellent experience renting this chalet. Communication with the host and check in were both very easy and the chalet itself was a fantastic place to spend the weekend in. The location of the property was amazing and provided opportunities for really nice walks just 5 minutes away. Our stay was made even more special by Betsy the pig and the chickens who came to greet us most mornings. Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend.
Zoe S. Jun 26, 2021 07:00:06 AM
Summary: My boyfriend and I loved our stay in this cabin. Resy and her family were more than attentive when we had any issues, and their pet chickens and pig were just as friendly! The only downside is the 10-15 min walk up a twisty country road with no pathway (we felt a bit unsafe struggling up and down the hill especially with suitcases).
Margaret N. Jun 10, 2021 09:00:43 AM
Summary: We were made very welcome. The 'Hobbit house' as we nicknamed it was perfect. It had everything we needed and was very warm & cosy. Our grandchildren who live near by came to see us and loved how much there was to do in the garden. The zip wire was a big hit. Wonderful break in beautiful surroundings.

Summary: Fantastic experience! Resy (and her menagerie!) were very welcoming; the walls on the hills were lovely - it was great to get out of the city.
Andreea S. Jan 10, 2020 01:07:05 AM
