Discover the Charm of Mauldslie Hill Cottage

Mauldslie Hill Cottage, a 3-bedroom stone cottage nestled in the heart of Midlothian, Scotland, provides an idyllic escape just 15 miles south of Edinburgh. The cottage is part of a sheep and deer farm near the Moorfoot Hills and Gladhouse Reservoir, offering guests a remote yet accessible retreat.

Henrietta, the owner, and host, shares her journey of transforming the cottage into a successful holiday rental and how Travelnest has played a key role in the property’s growth and success.

The challenge

Henrietta and her family took over the farm a decade ago, faced with the need to diversify income streams and make significant investments. The opportunity arose to acquire Mauldslie Hill Cottage, and after refurbishing the property, Henrietta ventured into the holiday lettings market. However, navigating the complex world of marketing and pricing on multiple platforms proved to be a significant challenge. Henrietta needed a solution that would take the hassle out of managing the property, especially in terms of marketing, pricing, and guest communication.

More case studies

  • Travelnest is the expert on what they do, and if it wasn't for them, I would not have a fraction of the bookings that I currently have.

  • They deal with all the bookings and they take all the stress out. I think Travelnest are an excellent company and would highly recommend them.

  • We'd highly recommend Travelnest if you are looking for a hassle-free way to increase bookings. Our bookings from Travelnest are always increasing and we appreciate them working with all the channels so we don't have to.

  • We are very pleased with Travelnest, our bookings have far exceeded our expectations. The team made the onboarding process straightforward. We would highly recommend!

  • I've worked with Travelnest for over a year now.

It is such a good idea to have one port of call while having my property advertised on over 30 websites!

  • As soon as I started working with Travelnest, bookings started coming in for my holiday let. It's a hassle-free way to get my lodge listed on top booking sites like Airbnb and Booking.com. I had my first bookings within a week!!
