Edenmill Farm

Edenmill Farm Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Edenmill Farm? Here I was, expecting some quaint countryside retreat way out in the sticks, but it’s actually tucked right off Stockiemuir Road – close enough to Glasgow that you’re not completely cut off from civilization, yet far enough that you genuinely feel like you’ve escaped the city buzz. I mean, the address says Glasgow, but honestly, you’re really in that sweet spot where the urban sprawl starts giving way to proper Scottish countryside.

The place has this wonderful authenticity that you just can’t fake – it’s one of those boutique spots that doesn’t bother with official star ratings because, well, it doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. The building itself has that solid, lived-in feel that comes from being an actual working farm that’s been thoughtfully converted rather than some corporate hotel trying to play dress-up as rustic. When I pulled up (and yes, parking is straightforward – none of that city center nightmare), I could actually hear sheep in the distance, which sounds cheesy but was genuinely charming. The owners clearly know their stuff when it comes to hospitality, though they’ve managed to keep that personal touch that makes you feel more like a welcomed guest than just another booking number.

What really sold me on the place was the attention to small details that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere. The rooms have proper thick walls, so you’re not hearing every footstep from neighboring guests – something I definitely didn’t take for granted after too many nights in paper-thin city hotels. The WiFi actually works (crucial for those of us who can’t completely disconnect), but the setting naturally encourages you to spend more time looking out the windows than at your phone. Breakfast was one of those experiences where you can taste the difference that local ingredients make – I’m talking eggs from their own hens and bread that’s clearly not from some industrial supplier. The whole operation feels refreshingly unpretentious; they’re not trying to be the fanciest place around, just genuinely good at what they do. If you’re looking for that sweet spot between authentic Scottish countryside experience and modern comfort – without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with more formal country house hotels – this place hits the mark perfectly.

• Lovely comfortable and peaceful – Karen from United Kingdom – August 12, 2025 (9/10)

  Very clean, comfortable and quiet, staff were very friendly and helpful. Other guests were courteous and quiet. Lots of parking and close to Glasgow. The property was also very dog friendly which was my initial reason for choosing
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!

• Very Good – Margaret from Ireland – August 11, 2025 (8/10)

  Very clean and comfortable, reasonably priced. Handy that the restaurant is attached during the day. Very friendly and informative staff. Nice buzz about the place when they're open for business.
  
  What could be improved: There is a common room down the hall, but tea/coffee making facilities in the room would be nice. It goes very quiet in the evening, and there are no TV's in the rooms…so bring a good book.

• For the price 1 night would be ok. – Andy from United Kingdom – August 8, 2025 (8/10)

  Clean room, comfy beds, fairly quiet, good cafe downstairs, friendly helpful staff.
  
  What could be improved: The room is not spacious as advertised, but clean and adequate. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. One bedside lamp but could only plug in on the other side of the room, no good for reading. The big light was as bright as the sun.
  There were no tv or drinks facilities in the room. They were in a communal area but felt uncomfortable using them with 15 workmen.

• A great place to stay when in the area. Thank you. – Ron from United Kingdom – August 4, 2025 (10/10)

  The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, the location and price were great and the views were beautiful. All round, a good experience and we'll stay there again if we're in the area. Thank you.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, it was all good. The only thing to note would be to maybe use a What3Words link to get to the reception area as this cuts out any confusion of where to go.

• Ideal place to stay for a walking weekend – Carole from United Kingdom – August 4, 2025 (9/10)

  Staff were very friendly, room very clean, beds comfy, good shower, lovely breakfast.

• Exceptional – Jürgen from Germany – August 2, 2025 (10/10)

  very nice breakfast, quiet place, excellent possibility to park my motorcycle 😁.

• Great place to stay outside Glasgow – Craig from United Kingdom – July 12, 2025 (9/10)

  The team are amazingly friendly and the room was clean and tidy. No bath but the shower was excellent.
  
  Just outside the corridor for the rooms is a communal area with a kitchen equiped with two ovens, kettle and a small fridge freezer. All plates, cups glasses and cookware available in the cupboards. There is also a TV in the communal area.
  
  Breakfast was outstanding, but a little on the higher priced side. The café is spacious and light and airy.
  
  What could be improved: Although there is a communal area i did miss having kettle and a TV in the room as I didn't feel comfortable watching TV later at night with other guests sleeping.
