Beautiful Tweed Valley

Our location in the stunning Tweed Valley is idyllic, yet we are only 20 miles from Edinburgh and just 3 miles from the famous town of Peebles.

Set amidst 28 glorious acres, the estate offers a secluded hilltop setting with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. With our own 350 year old Walled garden, a Nature Trail, pitch and putt golf, croquet lawn, boules and outdoor chess, there’s lots to enjoy when you step outside. 

And if you want to do a little exploring, Peebles is undoubtedly one of the finest independent shopping towns in the whole country and the stunning Tweed Valley area is home to Glentress Forest, Traquair House, Dawyck Botanic Gardens and of course the world-famous River Tweed.

We offer a full turndown service, complimentary local whisky & gin, homemade biscuits, fresh flowers and a farewell gift.
