The Granary - Stylish Rural Escape

A striking countryside retreat at Papple Steading, The Granary sleeps up to 6 guests and combines dramatic vaulted living space, bold contemporary interiors and a calm rural setting in the heart of East Lothian. With a large open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, beautifully finished bedrooms, modern bathrooms and access to Papple’s wider grounds and shared amenities, it is ideal for families, friends and small groups looking for a stylish escape.

At the heart of The Granary is a stunning open plan kitchen, dining and living space with a vaulted ceiling and a large rooflight running overhead, flooding the room with natural light. The effect is bright, airy and immediately impressive, giving the main living area a real sense of scale. Clean modern lines are balanced with warm timber tones, soft textures and bold accents, creating a space that feels polished but never cold.

The kitchen is sleek and beautifully simple, with handcrafted cabinetry, quality appliances, a Belfast sink and plenty of space for preparing meals and gathering together. The dining area sits naturally within the room, while the lounge space adds real personality with its rich colour palette, sculptural wall design and comfortable seating, making it just as suited to quiet mornings as it is to drinks, conversation and relaxed nights in.

The bedrooms continue the calm, understated feel of the property, with natural materials, soft tones and a restful simplicity that gives the whole place a boutique feel. Each room is thoughtfully presented with quality beds and linen, offering comfortable, unfussy spaces to unwind after a day exploring East Lothian.

The bathrooms are modern and well finished, with large walk in showers, clean detailing and a fresh contemporary look that complements the overall style of the property.

While The Granary’s interiors are a real highlight, guests also have access to the wider Papple Steading grounds and shared amenities, which add to the overall experience of staying here. There is open paddock space, woodland areas, a firepit seating area and plenty of room to slow down, explore and enjoy the setting.

Guests can also make use of the shared games space, with table tennis and table football adding something extra for families, friends and multi-property stays. The wider Papple grounds bring a lovely balance to the stay, combining the comfort of beautifully designed interiors with the freedom and quiet of the surrounding countryside.

The Granary sleeps up to 6 guests and forms part of the wider Papple Steading estate, with shared access to the grounds and selected amenities during your stay. Superfast fibre broadband is available throughout, making it a practical option for longer stays as well as short breaks.
