about us

Nestled at the foot of the Pentland Hills you will find Rutherford House Bed and Breakfast.

Situated on the edge of the Scottish Borders on the outskirts of Edinburgh, it benefits from a quiet rural countryside setting, whilst only a 25 minute drive will take you directly into the heart of Edinburgh city centre.

Surrounded by extensive mature gardens, Rutherford House offers all the comforts you would expect from a country house. This historic property, which retains many original features, dates back to circa 1800 when it was once a Coach House for travellers between the North and the South.

We are only a mile and a half from the beautiful conservation village of West Linton, where you will find most amenities, from the pharmacy to the local post office and village pub. We are surrounded by many beautiful walks being at the foot of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, and for golf enthusiasts we sit between 2 golf courses.

You will find Rutherford Castle golf course within walking distance from us, with it's recently rebuilt club house, and West Linton golf course a 5 minute drive away. Whether you are seasoned walker, cyclist, golfer, or wish to escape for a little peace and tranquillity - Rutherford House is your ideal base.
