It is beautifully located, perfect for my Selkirk business stay but also as a base to explore the Scottish Borders. The food is excellent with a great choice, but what really makes this a great place to stay are the so friendly and welcoming staff.

- "I recently stayed at a lovely Inn nestled under the hills and was thoroughly impressed. The hospitality was outstanding, and the accommodation was spotless. What sets this place apart is the affordability of both drinks and food – a refreshing change from other recent stays. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful touch of a dram of whisky in a glass canister in the room. The owner's warm welcome made us feel right at home. As a pet-friendly establishment, it was the perfect choice for our dog. Given that we frequently drive through this area on our travels from Caithness, we'll undoubtedly be back and will happily recommend this gem to friends. The blend of simple yet charming accommodation at an affordable price is a testament to good old-fashioned hospitality. "

- "We had a lovely stay at this property. It was everything we needed for a short break to visit Family. " - "The cottage was perfect for us, we were visiting family who live in the next street. It was perfectly setup for two of us, and the kitchen was well equipped. Some of the decor is a little rustic, but in keeping with the style of the property. It was a little bit of a surprise that the bedroom was two single beds pushed together with a gap in between the two, but a carefully stuffed blanked helped to close the gap. The lounge area was comfortable and the Smart TV was a good feature, allowing us to watch on demand TV like at home. The little touches were lovely; a bottle of fizz, tea, coffee & even cornflakes. We’ve already booked our next stay. The lockbox access is really useful for us as we travelled up from England in the evening, arriving at 10pm, so there was no stress about checking in."

- "Ettrick is a lovely town and is such a beautiful place. So much wildlife and walks to do. Highly reccomend" - "The caravan was a bit dated but clean and comfortable. Nice place to relax." - "We had a lovely stay, peaceful location ideal for a break with the dogs. Some lovely walks in the local area." - "We had an enjoyable stay in a clean cosy place but the tiny touches were missing that we have become accustomed to using other holiday booking platforms (such as toilet roll and soap). The booking process through vrbo however was not smooth and the photographs of the accommodation were very misleading, so it's unlikely I'll use vrbo again. I spent over 2 hours finding out who to pay (not vrbo it turns out!), struggled to simply confirm the stay and find out how to access the info to get into the accomodation. A lot of stress to begin a trip planned to get away from stress!"

- "Was a lovely relaxing and peaceful holiday. Owners lovely and polite. Will definitely come back" - "Excellent location and staff. Cabin dated but clean and adequate.Very quite.Dog friendly." - "Good but no Wi-Fi and no service. No towels" - "Slightly dated and the sofa has seen better days but it is comfortable. The beds are comfortable and of all the places we have stayed a good night sleep." - "Booked a no pets lodge as we were accompanied by our very well trained assistance dog who would not be left on her own. Instead we were allocated a van with holes in the carpet and a pervading smell of previous dogs, vacuuming carpets made the smell far worse. Only when we borrowed another vacuum and used half a bottle of fabreeze did it improve. The lodge was very dated and not very well loved. The work surfaces were chipped, the sink was damaged, the oven seemed to steam not bake. The kettle leaked, the shower trap was broken and caused injury to one of our party. Paving stones surrounding lodge were loose and unstable - not ideal with a disabled member of party. Our intended quiet day ruined by felling of tree adjacent to the lodge. It went on for hours and we lost a lot of privacy.On arrival the site looked very tired. We did see a lot of improvement over the week we were there - the new owner seemed to be making good on some of the neglect. New owners and staff seem friendly and keen to improve the site.It’s a very quiet site with no wi fi but does have access to mobile networks. The lodge had a satellite television and dvd player from days of yore - but the stack of dvds to borrow made up for inability to watch streaming services bearable.There are plenty of forest walks nearby and a nice river. Site was quiet when no trees were being felled. Good proximity to Hawick, Selkirk and lochs for water sports I have hopes for the site under the new ownership. "

The Scullery at Ladhope Farmhouse – A Romantic Countryside Hideaway

Nestled deep in the Yarrow Valley of the Scottish Borders, The Scullery is a beautifully restored one-bedroom retreat set amid rolling hills and ancient woodland. Once the servants’ wing of an 1850 Victorian farmhouse, it now offers a boutique hideaway designed for comfort, calm, and connection – the perfect place to slow down and immerse yourself in nature.

The Scullery sits at the heart of one of the Duke of Buccleuch’s working farms, part of the Buccleuch estate. Ladhope Farmhouse was rebuilt in 1850 by the 5th Duke of Buccleuch, though records of the farm reach back to the 1600s, giving every stay a sense of timeless history.

Inside, rustic character meets modern comfort. Exposed stone walls and an original lime washed stair well, frame a space filled with vintage furnishings, soft textures, and warm tones. The bedroom features a king-size Victorian bed with a luxury wool mattress and crisp linens – the perfect setting for a cosy, romantic night.

A separate living room, with views up into the hills, invites you to curl up on the sofa with a book, a throw, or a film, while the ensuite bathroom brings modern design and convenience.

The pantry kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with high-quality appliances, a sleek granite countertop, and vintage touches like Spode china and brass fittings. Whether you’re brewing morning tea or enjoying supper, it’s a space designed for simple pleasures.

Step outside and discover a private courtyard garden. Enclosed by stone walls and chestnut fencing, it’s a peaceful pocket of greenery with space for coffee, reading, or stargazing under dark Borders skies. Just beyond, the Ladhope Burn flows past with its own little waterfall, adding a soothing soundtrack to your stay.

Selkirk itself has a fascinating history going back to William Wallace and more recently links with Sir Walter Scott. The other Borders Towns are close by including Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose and Jedburgh, while Edinburgh itself is only a 40 minute drive or pleasant train ride on the recently reopened Borders Railway. Montrose House is so called because the Earl and Marquis of Montrose stayed here just before the Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645. He was known to be a brave and proven General but was nonetheless heavily defeated with huge loss of life, although he himself survived. There is a commemorative plaque of his stay on the wall of the apartment.

The nearby Philiphaugh Estate has various trails and riverside footpaths along the Ettrick Water. One of the trails leads to the battlefield so you can imagine the scene of 5,500 men in the desperate struggle between the Covenanters and Royalists. The Estate offers more peaceful attractions as well which include a nice tearoom close to the Salmon Viewing Centre

Sir Walter Scott best known as a writer, also served as Sheriff for 33 years and his legal connections should not be forgotten. The court house that he presided over is open to the public and only a short walk from the apartment and main town square. Walter Scott's life and times can be further explored at nearby Abbotsford house. The beautiful stately home of Bowhill House is not to be missed, only 3 miles from the town.

Aikwood Tower, a grade A-listed traditional Peel Tower in the Scottish Borders, is packed with 500 years of history and medieval castle charm, offering some of the best luxury self-catered accommodation in Scotland. Combining history with five-star interiors and contemporary boutique accommodation, our cosy castle will surprise and charm you in every room. It has been sensitively restored and renovated to offer luxury self-catering holidays and special breaks for ten guests (and their dogs) in five luxury ensuite bedrooms - a very special place where you can bring together family and friends of all ages for adventures, romance and celebrations.

Our passionate and hard-working team ensures that every guest expectation is exceeded, leaving you with nothing to worry about other than relaxing and enjoying everything that the South of Scotland has to offer. And we can guarantee that you will find your new favourite place in the world in front of our roaring Great Hall fire!

Located in the heart of the Ettrick Forest in the Scottish Borders, Aikwood Tower is just over an hour’s drive south of Edinburgh and north of the border with England. Its position surrounded by the rolling hills, woodland trails and rivers of the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys is perfectly placed for unique holidays, short breaks and weddings.

With five en-suite bedrooms we can sleep families and groups of up to ten guests (children under the age of twelve can be added as extras with put-up beds and travel cots). All the rooms are fitted out with Duxiana beds, the ‘most technologically advanced sleep system in the world’ and are made for lazy holiday lie-ins - or hurkle-durkling as we call it in Scotland (lounging in bed long after it's time to get up!) Each bedroom is accessorised with tweed throws, cushions and curtains from the local mills in nearby Selkirk.

Four of our bedrooms can be made up as doubles or twins giving you flexibility on sleeping arrangements depending on who you're staying with. Each room has a plentiful supply of towels, bathrobes and locally-made toiletries. While Aikwood Tower is very cosy and warm we do recommend you bring your slippers with you as the stone spiral staircase can be a wee bit cold underfoot.

Whatever the reason for your stay at Aikwood Tower, you will find that it's perfect for relaxing, socialising and entertaining. Huge roaring fires, a convivial kitchen and a well-equipped games room all lend themselves to you spending quality time with your family and friends. Start your day together over a morning coffee in the AGA-heated kitchen and finish with a wee dram in the early hours, in front of the Great Hall fire.

Aikwood Tower’s fully equipped kitchen with Aga and dining room is a fabulous place to prepare and enjoy the finest ingredients from the local area.

The nearest town for shopping, Selkirk, has a great array of small independent grocery shops and local produce (butcher, baker, deli, pharmacy etc.) plus all the big supermarkets will deliver all groceries and supplies you may need.

If you’d like to treat yourselves during your stay then we can arrange for a private chef to come and serve you an extra special meal or stock the fridge with homemade meals.

The stunning local landscape around Aikwood Tower offers some of the finest walking, cycling, shooting, fishing and horse riding in Scotland, among many other leisure activities. No matter your age or adventure criteria, or whether it’s by foot, pedal or horseback you’ll be out and about, soaking up the fresh air and exploring this breathtaking part of the world.

Aikwood Tower's south-west facing walled garden and orchard are a beautiful sanctuary all year round. The main lawn area is bordered on two sides by herbaceous beds full of plants similar to those that would have been found in the fine gardens of the eighteenth century. The third side of the lawn has a rose-hedged path filled with roses whose variety and names link to the age, history and legends of the Tower, including the 'Duchess of Buccleuch' and the 'Alchemist' rose. From here, steps lead down to a flagged terrace that is a warm, sheltered sun-trap throughout the day and evening.

Beyond the lawn is a small orchard where old varieties of apple tree grow and where our wooden wendy house for smaller guests resides! Running down to the garden gate is the laburnum arch which is at its full glory in late May and June.

The garden is totally enclosed making it safe for children and dogs to run around in while you relax, play a spot of croquet or rustle up the BBQ!

The Scottish Borders has some of the richest and most dramatic history in the whole of Scotland. Discover turbulent tales of the Border Reivers, journey through the ancient hunting grounds and houses of Scottish royalty. Immerse yourself in the literature of Walter Scott and James Hogg and trace your own family connections to the area.
