Plush Airbnb mansion near Edinburgh with hot tub can be hired for stag and hen dos

If you're looking for somewhere a bit different to celebrate and you're keen on getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city - we might have found the place for you.

With all the airport and passport chaos going on at the moment, many Scots are opting for the simplicity of a staycation - especially in the summer, when we might get to enjoy a glimmer of sunshine.

And it turns out you might not need to head that far out of Edinburgh to enjoy the perfect country escape - especially if there's a big group of you.

One particular Airbnb, just six miles from the capital and in 'arguably the most beautiful spot in Midlothian', has caught our eye.

The Midlothian countryside mansion is listed on Airbnb (Airbnb)

'Originally built for the most powerful family in Scotland in the 18th century', the sizeable and character-filled Edinburgh Kirkhill Mansion can sleep upwards of 34 guests in 14 bedrooms, meaning it's the perfect stay for big families, a special birthday party or stag or hen dos enjoying a celebration with a bit of a difference.

What's more, this one-of-a-kind stay features its very own hot tub - which can be hired for additional cost - as well as its own pool table and a beautiful piano meaning there's plenty of ways to unwind over the weekend.

The host says of the unique property: "The Edinburgh Kirkhill Mansion welcomes you. Nestled amid 30 acres of lush gardens and farmlands, the stunning Mansion offers a haven of peace and tranquillity in Edinburgh.

"Originally built for the most powerful family in Scotland in the 18th century, the Mansion occupies what is arguably the most beautiful spot in Midlothian.

"The Edinburgh Mansion features bright, modern rooms with large windows and coordinated fabrics. These contemporary guest rooms are tastefully furnished, warm and relaxing.

"Perfectly located just nine miles from Edinburgh city centre with stunning views of Pentlands."

Through Airbnb, we found a date for a one night stay at the striking mansion was priced at £1,625, plus service fee - which works out not too badly when you split it between all the guests!
