An extraordinary place to stay, mixing the fairytale architecture of a 19th century baronial mansion with a chic, modern interior and luxurious furnishings, this place is a true showstopper. Just a ten-minute drive from Edinburgh Airport, it's the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion as a family or a group of friends. A flexible space, with the main house sleeping up to eighteen guests, and a nearby gate lodge able to offer additional room for a further eight, it's not short of beautifully decorated bedrooms. On the ground floor, grand entertainment space begs for an elegant soiree to be held here, with a fabulous entrance hall, dramatic lounge, bar, piano room and orangery – where fine dinners can be held. Bedrooms are spread across three floors and feature deep carpets, opulent furnishings and en-suite bathrooms. Outside, wander the manicured gardens and park-like grounds, head off on hikes or play some tennis on the private courts. Just a twenty-minute drive from the center of Edinburgh, this estate is in the ideal location to escape to the country while staying close enough to easily explore the city.
