Tucked away on a traditional country estate in the heart of the Scottish Borders, The Lodge is surrounded by ancient woodland with views across a field to a river. This peaceful setting is perfect for a romantic escape to the countryside well away from the hustle and bustle. Head out to explore the walled garden, woodlands and fishing opportunities on the estate, visit historic houses and castles nearby or go for long walks and bike rides in the Scottish Borders. Or, simply put your feet up back at The Lodge with a fire going in the wood burning stove and relax in your cosy hideaway.
The cottage has recently been renovated to create a warm and welcoming bolthole with decor that mixes traditional and contemporary styles. There’s an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area that feels bright and spacious during the day and becomes cosy in the evenings with soft lighting and a wood burning stove. You’ll find everything you need to cater for yourselves in the fully equipped kitchen and there’s also a utility room where you’ll find the freezer and the washing machine. After dinner, head over to the living area and pour yourself a drink at the bar area before sinking into the sofa or an armchair in front of the fire.
