Set within the remarkable Grade A listed Leithen Lodge, these delightful properties offer a unique experience in a very grand house in a beautiful secluded setting at the head of a valley by Leithen Water, only 4 miles from Innerleithen and just under an hour south of Edinburgh. Dating from 1241, the house was much enlarged and remodelled in the 1880s in the Arts and Crafts style and has recently been restored to its full splendour. Both properties are furnished with antiques, paintings and fabrics suited to the period of the house. Leithen Lodge Stables has a vast, 40ft first floor sitting and dining room while Woolhope Bank has a cosy sitting room with an open fire and a lovely sunny, west facing dining room looking out through the pine trees to the hills beyond. The extensive, shared grounds have a river running through and a trout pond with fishing by arrangement, whilst there is excellent hill walking from the doorstep. The mountain bike centre at Glentress is nearby, as is the ancient Traquair House where beer is brewed. Dawyk and Kailzie Gardens are close by, and Peebles, 10 miles, has shops, restaurants and theatre. Shops and pubs 4 miles.
