Half an hour from Edinburgh, but a world away from city life, the Scottish Borders is a huge, green, open space speckled with quiet farmhouses and country manors that make for beautiful places to stay. We’ve personally inspected every single one we have in our collection, checking for the touches of magic that make a stay special. Sometimes it’s the wonderful views of hills and fields, often it’s a fabulous breakfast to set you up for the day, but mostly it’s about a warm welcome from people who love where they live.
