Why we love it
Settle into The Borders for a few days with the dog, exploring sweeping panoramas and artisan markets, returning home to a hot tub and the comfiest yurt you’ll find around
What you'll love
Dogs will love
- Pelting it up the many hill walks nearby
- Sunny days, going belly up on the decking
- Finding their bed, bowls and treats left for them
Humans will love
- Crafting smoky delights on the firepit and tripod
- The irreplaceable crackly sound of vinyl records
- A dip in the hot tub before settling down for bed
The place
You don’t have to be a dog to appreciate staying in the middle of a wildflower meadow, with uninterrupted views of the Pentland Hills in the distance and a thousand acres of forest behind you. You’ll spot wildlife flitting, flying, hopping and jumping, with roe deer, honey buzzards, red kites, swallows, wagtails, herons and lapwings making appearances. With either the choice to spend your time in the wilds of The Borders, or in the local market towns or Edinburgh itself, your getaway can be as green or as urban as you like. When you get back from your day’s adventure, throw balls from the hot tub, and let your dog run happy circles around you, as you melt into bubbly bliss. Post hot tub will look like deciding between dinner on the induction hob, or going wild with a firepit and tripod, throwing a record on the turntable, and watching amber fade to deep blue, and finally to star-speckled black.
