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.

Local guide
About East Lothian
Coastal golf courses, fishing villages and castles galore; East Lothian may be just down the road from buzzing Edinburgh, but it’s got a distinctly rural feel. North Berwick sits on the coast and is a pretty town of colourful fishing cottages, a sweep of beach and fab seafood restaurants (try the lobster shack on the harbour). If you want to stretch your legs, head up the steep incline of Berwick...
