Featuring a cosy living area with wide bright windows – a nice awakening in the morning as you make yourself a toasty coffee in the flint blue kitchen, relaxing over the wooden dining table as you plan your day's adventures – this home screams sleek down to a tee. Perhaps go downstairs to the lush green garden for some fresh air before returning inside to get ready for a day of golfing in the homely bedrooms. Perfectly located between the beach and the golf club, with only a seven-minute walk to Gullane Golf Club, one of Scotland's most prestigious member clubs, blending the finest tradition with some of the world's most admired natural links lands – so go grab your golf club!

Gullane Beach has golden silky smooth sand to walk along while listening to the waves crash against the shore and enjoying a picnic. If you want to go a little further, take a forty-five-minute drive into Edinburgh for a day of sightseeing at Edinburgh Castle, wandering the cobbled streets of the Old Town, and stopping for a bite to eat at The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant.

Looking for a Scottish coastal retreat just seconds from the beach? Then this immaculately presented apartment in the scenic coastal town of North Berwick, East Lothian could be the perfect spot. Defying yawnsome coastal pastiche (there’s not a wooden boat or anchor in sight) in favour of cool, fresh monochromes and sparkling white bathrooms, this is relaxed, beachside living at its best. Being situated on the ground floor, there's a charming, covered terrace area for two just off the master bedroom, leading onto a sunny shared garden. The living room with a crackling log fire (and underfloor heating to keep things extra toasty in winter months) is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day of taking in the sights and sounds of the area. And you’re well-placed to do so here. The sweeping sandy beach is just at the end of the street, literally thirty seconds away. The vibrant high street with cosy pubs and restaurants is just a five-minute walk away. And there are coastal walks aplenty and a golf course commanding breath-taking sea views within easy reach. Locations don’t come much better than this.

Escape to the rural idyll of farmhouse life at this cosy cottage in the Lauderdale Hills. It’s on a working farm, where the sheep have been tended to by the same family for generations and you can ramble across hilltops and country lanes straight from your doorstep. Head to the Carfraemill Hotel for a hearty meal, a three-minute drive or a twenty-minute walk away. Or, take a day trip to Edinburgh, forty minutes by car. The view from the cottage garden is stunning, looking out over the rolling hills and patchwork fields as far as the eye can see. Inside, you’ll find a farmhouse vibe with modern luxuries – a range-style gas cooker in the kitchen and a solid wood dining table for the whole group. The living room is a cosy spot in twilight pink, with an ornamental fireplace. Spacious, pastel bedrooms in the eaves are the perfect end to a day in the countryside.

Only 20 miles from Edinburgh, this lodge is nestled on the grounds of a 16th-century tower. Views stretch across the countryside in every direction, from the Lammermuir Hills in the south to Edinburgh Castle in the east. The patio is the biggest draw – nothing beats an alfresco Old Fashioned while admiring the castle – but the interiors are just as handsome. We love the bright living area and panoramic window seats in the bedrooms. And, of course, the location will be a big hit with nature buffs. Ambles around a private loch, hikes along the John Muir Way, on-site fly fishing, and clay shooting are just some of the activities on offer.

Get to set to live out your very own fairytale with a stay in this lodge – set in the grounds of a 16th century tower. We love the huge windows looking out over the beautiful grounds. Take a stroll around the green lawns as you contemplate the tower's history – King James VI of Scotland once took refuge here – or perhaps take a short drive to Yellowcraig Beach, a natural cove that is said to have inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's treasure island.

Featuring on “most stylish stays in the UK” lists, this 1960s home sits within acres of walled gardens, landscaped in the 18th century and built by Napoleonic prisoners of war. Mid-century on the outside, the interior is an ode to decadent manor homes with a vast library of books, oil paintings of the Dalrymple family and collections of private artefacts that should be in a museum. You won’t find any “don’t touch” signs though – guests are encouraged to pick fruit and veg from the kitchen garden, rack up a game of snooker in the games room and make use of the grand fireplaces with wood from the neighbouring forest provided. The coastal golf town of North Berwick is a ten-minute drive away and you can practice your pitching on the golf pitching range in the garden. 

The Laird's Garden

Barbeque

Sitting high on a hilltop overlooking Lauderdale, this cottage escape is in the blissfully quiet lowland countryside. Stepping outside, you’ll hear is the faint bleat of sheep from the farm nearby and cheep of birds in the ancient trees surrounding the cottage. Once a shepherd’s cottage, the old stone walls whisper of history, but inside it’s been restored to cosy modernity. A living room in rich forest green invites you to leave your wellies by the door and put your feet up at the end of the day. The country-style kitchen has everything you need to cook yourself, and there’s a restaurant at Carfraemill Hotel, a three-minute drive or twenty-minute walk away. The idyllic village of Lauder is an eight-minute drive away where you’ll find local galleries, coffee shops and a village deli, or make the forty-minute drive to Edinburgh for a day in the city.

Tailor-made for two, this tranquil cottage promises a romantic retreat and true escape from it all. Set on an estate, you can wander the landscaped grounds at your leisure. Feeling a little more adventurous? Hire an e-mountain bike and take to the estate’s twenty kilometres of trails or head out to hike the Pentland Hills, instead. Back home, the fireplace and rolltop bath are a warming sight after a day of exploring, but we think you’ll be tempted to relax outdoors on the private terrace. A cedar hot tub, outdoor fireplace, and nature surrounding you – what’s not to love?

Hidden away on a lovely farm estate, this stunning stone cottage offers all the charm of a country retreat combined with the convenience of all the mod cons. On cool nights, cosy up by the wood-burning stove and play board games by firelight or stream your favourite films as you sink into the sofa. The patio area of the private walled garden is the perfect place to sip coffee out of the wind in the morning and glasses of wine in the afternoon when the sun emerges from behind the building and warms the stones. Of course, you could spend all day wandering the moors around the home, and the coast is only a short drive away. Alternatively, you could drive thirty minutes to Whiteadder Watersports Centre for sailing, kayaking and SUP sessions, or visit the timeless city of Edinburgh, a forty-mile drive away.

Farrier's Cottage

Courtyard

Set within the grounds of the exquisite Glanton Pyke Georgian home, this little cottage opens its doors to the abundant beauty of the Northumberland countryside. 

Located at the foothills of the Cheviot Hills and just a short drive from the beach, you’ll find everything you could need for a restorative retreat – including your own private garden. 

Renovated and styled by an acclaimed interior designer, every detail of this home evokes a wonderful sense of warmth and character. From the antique furnishings to the cosy blankets and crisp linen sheets, it’s the perfect setting to pause, relax and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. So whether you’re cooking with fresh local produce, enjoying a glass of wine by the wood-burning stove or taking an evening stroll through the grounds, this is the kind of home that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired. 

Outside, you’ll find the main house features a 19th-century walled kitchen garden – this is a lovely spot to soak up the atmospheric beauty of this location. 

Days can be spent exploring the rich and diverse landscape of Northumberland. From the wild and stunning beaches along the coast to charming market towns and ancient castles, there are endless ways to experience this special region. And whether you’re hiking, cycling, sightseeing or simply enjoying the views, this cottage provides the perfect little sanctuary – a quiet space to relax in style. 

The Garden Glory  

Steeped in history, this grand yet homely castle makes for a remarkably atmospheric base in the Scottish Borders. The seat of Clan Kerr, this 15th-century castle is known as Scotland’s frontier fortress. It’s set amid enchanting forests overlooking the River Jed, 2 miles south of Jedburgh. Some guests will sleep in the ground-floor wing, while others will fight over the romantic turret bedrooms. A wood-panelled turret library in the southwest tower is full of books and curiosities, and there are portraits of King James VI and the Kerr family dotted throughout the castle. For a real taste of historic Scotland, you won’t do better than this castle. 

Scottish Hideaway

Once the home to the estate’s Head Gardener, this Midlothian home is the perfect bolthole for a family on a back-to-nature retreat. We love the sense of history this home offers, along with all the modern touches you’d want for a relaxing stay. The cedar hot tub is sure to be a hit with all, while the outdoor fireplace is the ideal spot to unwind with a tipple to share tales from the day. With 3,100 hectares to explore, you’ll never be bored here – but if you fancy a change of scene, head to the Pentland Hills or hop in the car for a trip to Edinburgh, thirty minutes away. 

Scottish Tranquillity

Access to Beach

New York loft-style meets traditional fishing cottage at this bijou home in Pittenweem. Stepping inside, you can see this place was designed by an award-winning architect. Flagstone floors and the old stone partition wall have been retained as though from the 18th-century, but the kitchen is all sleek units and high-spec appliances. A wood-burner still crackles at the heart of the home, keeping things cosy in the colder months. Upstairs, a plump king-size bed awaits and the traditional old window looks out onto the narrow wynd below. As for location, you’re mere footsteps from Pittenweem’s High Street (about 30, we’ve counted), where you’ll find cafés, craft shops, galleries and a fabulous fish and chip shop. It’s a two-minute walk to the East Neuk's only working harbourfront where you can watch the fishing boats land their catch of lobsters and langoustines, and St Andrews is a twenty-minute drive away. 

Fisherman's Shanty

If you’re seeking an escape back to nature that’s a perfect fit for two, it’s time to stop scrolling. We love this former Porters’ Lodge, packed full of character and inviting its guests to unwind. You’ll find this home set on an estate, where you can enjoy the landscaped grounds at your leisure – if you’re not too busy relaxing in your private cedar hot tub, that is. Locally, a hike up the Pentland Hills is a must, and for those seeking a city fix, Edinburgh is a thirty-minute drive away. 

Brambled Bliss

Rooftop Terrace

Dating back over 170 years, this beautiful home in the Scottish Borders was updated in 1870 to take on the Scottish Baronial features that gave it its fairytale castle look, but it was only in the late 70s that the incredible vaulted ceiling was discovered and the mezzanine was added to update the home to what it is today. Of course there has been modernisation since to give it the contemporary, but homely, feel and the result is an ambient, open space that encourages rest and relaxation. 

With the windows stretching up to towards the ceiling, there’s plenty of natural light and bookworms will rejoice to find a little home library on the mezzanine where they’re able to curl up with any of the good books on offer. Look out over the lounge from up there and when you get a little cold, head down to kindle the fireplace so you can watch the flames dance between every turn of the page. 

Musicians can retire to the piano room to hone their skills or entertain the rest of the family in style, but not before sitting down for dinner at the chunky oak table. 

Take to the garden as a group, or in isolation, and walk along the sloping paths as you breathe in the fragrant scents of apple, plum and flowering cherry trees of the orchard. You can also do this from the outdoor bench as you nibble on shortbread. 

With a bike shed on site, why not bring along bicycles so you can head out to explore the Borders on two wheels. With golf courses aplenty, fishing opportunities, beautiful landscapes to admire, and plenty more around, you’ll never run out of things to do. Should you choose, however, to just stay home and bask in the tranquillity, well, we certainly won’t blame you.

Once Upon a Fairytale

With uninterrupted countryside views, cosy rooms and a peaceful garden, this cottage makes the perfect setting for a blissful rural escape. Set across two floors, the rooms provide a snug sanctuary to relax and disconnect. Highlights include the wood-burning fires, the luxurious bathtub and the wonderful sense of seclusion. Children’s amenities can also be provided, plus the garden includes a barbecue and a fire pit. You’ll also find hiking trails straight from the door and easy access to the nearest amenities – St Andrews is just a twenty-minute drive away.

There’s also plenty to explore in the surroundings with a beautiful wildflower meadow and hiking trails within easy reach. It’s also just a thirty-minute drive into the heart of Edinburgh.


Garden of Tranquillity

Go back in time to this Georgian country house, only 9 miles from the iconic Alnwick Castle and Garden. As part of a private estate, you'll find lush grounds, a lily pond, and outdoor seating spots. Travelling with kids? There's baby equipment, toys, and old-fashioned lawn games to try out during the summer. Indoors, the characterful rooms are full of authentic features, including a log fire and flagstone flooring. Rothbury awaits 6 miles away, well known for its bakery and charming high-street amenities.

The Golden Chest

Satellite / Cable TV

Private Washing Machine

Private Dryer

Nestled within Fife's Balcarres Estate, surrounded by some of Scotland's finest countryside, this historical home awaits. Dating back to the late 1800s, the redbrick facade and Jacobean style are truly charming, and many original features are still intact. The enclosed garden wraps around the whole cottage, offering a private oasis where you can sip your morning coffee or simply breathe in the fresh air on a short stroll to prepare for the day ahead. There's much to explore in this part of the country, from world-class golf courses to romantic castles and a beautiful stretch of coastline. Take a trip to the pristine beaches of Largo Bay, where you'll find golden sands, a village and a small harbor.

With so much of the coast and countryside to explore, a relaxing evening at home is the best way to wind down. Cook a rustic feast on the barbecue, then dine alfresco surrounded by the greenery of the garden. For dessert, toast some marshmallows around the fire pit, then head indoors when the night turns chilly to enjoy a long soak in the freestanding copper bathtub, which you'll find in the master bedroom.

The Jacobean Gatehouse

Breakfast Included

If it's good enough for Mary Queen Of Scots, then it's good enough for us. The iconic figure often stayed at this grand castle, taking advantage of the rural location and beautiful surroundings. Now, you can follow in her footsteps.

Feel like royalty in every room of this awe-inspiring building, each inch infused with historical significance. Rustic yet comfortable, the castle maintains its regal atmosphere whilst adding a layer of intimacy that puts you instantly at ease.

There are multiple rooms to discover, from the huge dining space to the cosy corners with chairs by the fire. The best part? You have the entirety all to yourself. After the host provides a tour and snippets of the history, you can explore each quaint crevice at your own leisure. Indulging in a royal feast in the dining room is a particular highlight. 

Such is the grandeur of the castle, we can understand why you'd never want to leave. But if you did want to stretch your legs, take a stroll along the beautiful River Tweed, leading to the charming town of Peebles. Here, you'll find welcoming pubs, a fascinating museum and premium restaurants.

Scots & Queens

From the moment you lay eyes on this idyllic lodge set on the historic Balcarres Estate, you'll fall in love with the rural setting and rustic character. We adore every inch of this home, inside and out – it's the definition of warm and welcoming with oodles of country charm. Cosy seating abounds in the living room – take your pick between the fluffy armchairs or the cushy tartan sofa – and the green kitchen is as well-stocked as it is stylish. Embracing the slow life is easy here – just picture waking up to gorgeous views in the beautiful bedrooms, soaking in the freestanding copper bathtub in the master bedroom and snuggling up with a book and glass of scotch in front of the wood-burner. And the garden is truly something special, with a stunning Victorian conservatory perfect for afternoon teas, a picturesque alfresco dining area and unbeatable scenery. Roam the 800 acres of woodlands, wildflower meadows and parkland in your backyard, then gather around the outdoor firepit while the evening dwindles away. When you want to venture out, St Andrews is only a fifteen-minute drive – perfect for a day trip – while Edinburgh is less than an hour away if you want to spend a day in the city.

Where The Wildflowers Spring

Built on the original foundation stones of a 17th-century castle kitchen, this was once the private apartment of Lord and Lady Lothian. The sitting room is the perfect place to relax by the log fire in winter or enjoy the outdoors on warmer days with French doors that open onto the patio and communal landscaped grounds. Guests can enjoy a riverside walk on the estate and stroll through woodlands by Jed Water. Also, the nearby town of Jedburgh offers historical attractions such as Jedburgh Abbey and Mary Queen of Scots' House. This historic home offers a unique stay in the Scottish Borders.

The Castle Kitchens

Charming Scottish escapes don’t get much more charming than this cottage. It’s tucked away amid the cobbled causeways of pretty Culross, a 17th-century town that’s been used as a filming location for Outlander. On your way to the cottage, you might pass by the pier, where you can breathe in the bracing air from the Firth of Forth and take in the view. 

Once you step through the door of the cottage, you’ll feel a million miles from your ordinary life – R&R is in the air. There’s an enchanting mix of the old and new here, with vintage furniture and original artwork blending in with modern amenities and every luxury you might need. You can spend your days exploring the area and your evenings curled up by the fire with a dram from the honesty bar. When the weather is fine, you’ll want to soak up the sunshine in the suntrap terrace, dining on charcuterie lovingly prepared by your host. There are thoughtful touches at every turn here – it’s impossible not to get into holiday mode. 

Though the cottage feels miles away, it’s actually only a thirty-nine-minute drive from Glasgow so you can get your fill of the bright city lights. We’d stay closer to home though, strolling through Culross in the mornings and devouring books in the reading nook at the cottage in the afternoon. This is a dreamy place to call home, even for a few days.

The market town of Cupar is a bustling area where ancient monuments collide with vibrant, modern high streets. A fifteen-minute drive from St Andrews, where you can play eighteen holes at the ‘Home of Golf’, you’ll need a home where you can hang up your clubs after a long day. Six minutes on foot from Cupar station, this unique building has historic tales to tell. Dating from 1815, this was the town council’s Burgh Chambers, where important decisions and important people were commonplace inside its walls. But today, you can play the VIP role, as a guest in this vast apartment.

Upon entering the grand living space, you’ll be in awe of its magnificent, period interiors. Transporting you back in time, every piece of furniture has been carefully selected with the help of a Scottish furniture expert, with key Georgian pieces and others made by local artisans. A luxe colour scheme of olive green and rich mahogany flooring is illuminated by one of the grandest set of bay windows you could imagine. Dine below the chandeliers before heading off to slumber in one of two unique bedrooms, with wooden walls, brass bed frames, and original sash windows.

Mahogany Chambers

Within an hours' drive of Edinburgh, this countryside cottage in the Scottish Borders town of Greenlaw enjoys the best of both worlds. While you have the option to head to the city for the day, you can also stay put, enjoying moorland views and hill walks — Berwick-upon-Tweed and its coastline is only half an hour's drive away, too. The recently refurbished interior is a lovely place to return to after time spent out in the elements, with comfy furnishings positioned around the log burner sure to have you feeling warm and toasty again. Failing that, a long soak in the bathtub will do the trick. When the weather is favourable, you can take full advantage of the home's front garden surrounded by a stone wall, which has a pretty view of Scottish hillsides and a barbecue for those bursts of balmy weather.

Groom's Bell

Nestled on a 3,100-hectare estate, this Grade A Listed lodge has tranquillity running through its core. It’s an ideal base if you dream of being surrounded by nature while enjoying the comforts of modern life. Spend your days in the private hot tub or unwinding by the outdoor fireplace – just the spot as the stars break out above. With landscaped grounds, you can stroll in the fresh air to your heart’s content – or for a change of scenery, we recommend hiking the Pentland Hills instead. 

Graceful Grove

Escape to this Scottish country lodge, built just for two, resting on the edge of the Balcarres Estate, yet just 15 minutes from the seaside town of St Andrews. Designed in the late 1800s by Scottish architect, Sir Robert Lorimer, this home has been lovingly restored into a stylish retreat where colour and craftsmanship make an impressive double act. Climb the stairs to the top floor and you’ll find the cosy bedroom quarters, complete with an incredible free-standing copper bath – best enjoyed by candlelight with a glass of something chilled. But don’t worry if you haven’t the time for soaking – there’s a walk-in waterfall shower next door too. Back downstairs, you’ll find an immaculately presented living space with a wood-burning stove at the heart. Step outside into the beautiful garden which wraps around the home and enjoy stunning views of the countryside, with woodland paths leading you directly through Balcarres Estate and into some of Scotland’s finest countryside. Walk through ancient forests, cross rolling hills with dramatic views across the Firth of Forth, or stravaig along the two miles of pristine beachfront at Largo Bay. And for somewhere that feels this secluded, you’re just an hour’s drive from Edinburgh and less than 15 minutes drive from the medieval town of St Andrews, with its castle and cathedral ruins. How’s that for the best of both worlds.

Where The Stravaigers Go

Tucked away on a lovely farm estate, this quaint cottage offers all the charm of a country retreat combined with the modern comforts you seek when on a getaway. 

Throw the sliding doors open and start the morning with a coffee in the garden swing seats, then savour your breakfast at the family-style table whilst admiring the view of the sprawling sunflower fields. We imagine you’ll want to spend the majority of your time walking the local trails across the Cheviot Hills and ambling along the River Eden, though if you’d like to practice your swing, the Kelso Golf Club is a short drive away too. The cosy bedrooms, with their minimal and homey designs, beckon you into restful sleep so you can wake up refreshed, ready for a day at the Kelso Market. 

On cool nights, cook up some family favourites in the country-style kitchen, then cosy up by the wood-burning stove and play a few games of cards by firelight – a glass of wine wouldn’t go amiss here. Of course, you could spend all day wandering the moors around the home alternatively, you could make the drive to the forty-minute drive to Tweedmouth for a day on the sands.

Amongst the Sunflowers

If escaping to nature is your idea of the perfect break, then look no further. Located in east-central Scotland, Fife is only a forty-minute drive from Edinburgh and an hour to Glasgow, but far enough away to feel secluded. Drive out if you’re looking to explore the cities, but we can’t promise you that you’d want to leave this home once you’ve settled in. Surrounded by trees and green slopes, this place is bright and modern, but still oozing with the potential for optimal comfort. Light the wood-burning stove, claim your spot on the plush sofa and let it envelop you as you let go of all the tension you’ve been holding onto. The egg chair is the perfect spot for bookworms, but you’d better be quick on calling dibs because we can guarantee everyone would be eager to have a go. Even though this home is the epitome of relaxation inside, you’re going to want to brave the nippy Scottish air to go outside – it’ll be worth it, trust us. Head out with a bottle of prosecco and slip into the hot tub – just when you think you couldn’t be more relaxed. 

If you have to leave, stay connected to nature by visiting the Lochore Meadows, or stroll through the Townhill Wood where you’ll encounter century-old trees. Cleish Castle is an eleven-minute drive away, with Locleven Castle being just a couple of minutes more. Head to the local golf course, eight-minutes from here, to play a round or two, or take to the loch for waterboarding. In between, pop in at Genaro’s Fish Bar or The Village Inn for a bite to eat.

Rest for the Soul

Air Conditioning

Live the rural dream with a stay in this wonderful home, part of a converted farm steading. It's nestled in the hamlet of Adderstone, and provides the perfect gateway to the wildly beautiful Northumberland countryside. 

With its traditional red-tiled roof and stone walls, the house is a handsome sight amongst the fields. Step inside, and you'll find a surprisingly modern space, cloaked in blue and grey tones with plenty of natural light. Flop down together on the sofa after a decadent dinner, and get cosy with a good movie. Or, on sunny days, you can throw open the patio doors and head outside for a tipple in the balmy breeze. 

History fans are in luck – the magical Alnwick Castle is roughly fifteen minutes away by car, and Dunstanburgh Castle is just a little further. Hikers and cyclists can explore the quiet roads leading through the glorious countryside, watching out for local wildlife as they go. And, if you're missing the big city, you can pop into lively Newcastle for a day trip – it's under an hour away by car. 

Red Squirrels

You'll find this home amongst the rolling hills in the sleepy village of Redpath. This stone cottage is classic with contemporary touches – making it an ideal base for those exploring the area. After a long day in the countryside, where better to relax than in front of the word burner? Or perhaps if the weather is on your side  –  you can unwind in the large private garden. Surrounded by nature, there's lots to discover – including mountain biking trails, cycle routes, and salmon fishing – all within the area. Situated on the edge of the Scottish borders – Edinburgh is less than an hour's drive away. 


The Redpath Hills

Parking On Premises

Outdoor Shower

Overlooking the Eden and Tweed Valleys, with glimpses of the Cheviot Hills, this Scottish Borders lodge is the ideal place for those looking to connect with nature. 

Start your mornings with a bowl of your host’s home grown porridge oats in the open-concept living space, or if the sun’s shining, dine outside on the decking. Enjoy a moment of stillness as hare forage in the undergrowth and swallows swoop overhead before treating yourself to a long soak in the private hot tub. 

When you’re ready to explore, a six-minute drive places you in the market town of Kelso. Browse the locally owned shops, relax with a coffee in a quaint cafe and brush up on your history knowledge at Floors Cafe. If you’d like to expend some energy, embark on a hike to Roxburgh – the walk begins at Kelso Abbey and takes around an hour and twenty minutes. 

Head back to your abode in the early evening for a tasty supper rustled up at the kitchenette followed by a mug of hot chocolate in front of the wood-burning stove.

A beautiful stay on the Scottish border awaits you at this quaint cottage. We absolutely love the hygge vibes that run throughout, with a neutral colour scheme scattered with touches of bright colour, together with elegant decor and comfy soft furnishings to make the home feel special. The dining area makes for a great place for a board game and beers in the evenings, while the lounge area features a log-burner fireplace so you can get cosy when the winter chill sets in. But the star of the show is in the outdoor areas – the wood-fired hot tub is great for stargazing on clear nights, while the hanging loungers are ideal if you’re after a napping spot surrounded by nature. There’s even a sunflower field that offers some idyllic photo opportunities in the summer months.

When you want to get out and explore, you’ll find loads of countryside hikes all around you, with miles of green fields to roam in. The pretty Scottish border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is also just a short drive away for when you want to find friendly cafes, welcoming pubs and wonderful restaurants.

Bonnie on the Border

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Known locally as the Kingdom of Fife, this east coast region of Scotland is awash with historic monuments, ancient towns, sweeping beaches, and fresh sea air. While its heritage speaks volumes, there are of course plenty of built-up areas with everything a modern visitor could need.

Kinghorn offers pubs, traditional chippies, a golf course, and cute cafés, but the standout feature is the huge town hall. This Tudor-Gothic style building was built in 1826, with its ground floors having played the role of council chambers and even a prison. Secret stairways and enormous windows let you admire views of Kinghorn Beach, a seven-minute walk away. But why are we focusing solely on this historic landmark? Well, because this is your home. 

Your apartments are set over the first and second floors, with jaw-dropping, period interiors which feel regal, luxurious, and opulent. Rich red fabrics, elegant cornicing, chandeliers, solid marble fireplaces, antique furniture, gilded mirror frames – we could go on. There’s even a private walled garden at the back, where you can sit out under the stars sipping whisky and looking out over your very own kingdom.

Under Lock & Key

A stone’s throw from the border, this eco-friendly, wood-clad home sits in the middle of the countryside. It’s on an organic farm, where the sunflower harvest is a sight to behold in summer and autumn. This place has been set up with a country escape in mind, but the market town of Kelso is a short drive away if you want to stock up on supplies, stop for lunch or perhaps visit the stunning stately home of Floors Castle.

From the wild meadow garden, you’ve got a view of the Tweed Valley and Cheviot Hills. Lounge chairs have been set up to maximise your enjoyment. A wood-fired hot tub to the side of the cabin is the perfect spot to end the day, preferably with something bubbly in hand. Inside, it’s all about hygge vibes with a wood-burning stove at the heart of the living room and a huge, L-shaped sofa to snuggle up on. A Scandi-chic dining table sits by the wall of glass, looking out over the valley and hills and the welcome pack with local porridge oats is a nice touch. Both bedrooms enjoy direct access to the deck outside, so you can wake up with a breath of fresh, country air every morning.
