Heron House
The gorgeous Heron House is nestled beneath the iconic Forth Bridge, and is a charming ’C’ Listed end terraced villa . It is located in the quaint conservation village of North Queensferry, within walking distance of the shore. Minutes’ walk to the North Queensferry Train Station where you can catch a train straight to Edinburgh or take the car to explore the incredible surrounding areas, Heron House truly is a special place in the most charming of locations. It is recognised for playing its part in history and can be found along the old historic pathway through this charming, picturesque village.
As you enter through the covered foyer there is enough room to store a couple of bikes, along with sandy boots and coats after some time spent on the beach. There is a downstairs toilet and a lovely cosy cottage kitchen which is fully equipped. Head into the living room with a lovely cosy wood burner and views of the Forth Bridge just outside the window. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one of which is set out as an office with a fantastic fold away office desk, perfect for those looking to catch up on some work or finally write that book. Here you will find a comfortable day bed that pulls out into a double bed if required. The master bedroom has a double bed, built-in wardrobes and views of the iconic Forth Bridge.
The pier at North Queensferry is home to Queensferry Light Tower, the smallest one in the world of its kind that is still in use. Until the opening of the Forth Road Bridge in 1964, the pier was the main port for ferries crossing the Forth. You can also take your bike to North Queensferry from Edinburgh and ride over the Forth Bridge by train, before disembarking and cycling back over the Forth Road Bridge. Another great thing to do in North Queensferry is to visit Deep Sea World, which is Scotland’s National Aquarium. The centrepiece is the Europe’s largest underwater viewing tunnel complete with a moving walkway. If you’re feeling brave, you can even come face to face with the magnificent sand tiger sharks on a shark dive!
