Crailing West Lodge

Jedburgh

Description

In the nearby estate you will find gentle country walks leading down to the riverside for peaceful summer picnics under the trees, while those seeking something a little more high-energy can join the Jubilee Path for a glorious 12 mile circular walk taking in the woodland and riverside trails of this picturesque area.

Perfect for couples, the interior is understated and serene, soothed by a carefully selected colour scheme, classic furnishings and soft linens. Unusually for a property of this size, the lodge benefits from a separate dining room which means friends can visit for supper or it can double-up as a place to work or study when those emails can’t wait.

The sitting room is a wonderfully cosy spot for cradling a creamy cappuccino in front of a roaring log burner, while the high-backed armchairs from OKA are perfect for enjoying a good read from the books on offer here or perhaps just an afternoon nap!

The bedroom sits to the rear with views across the fields and farmland, and the bed can either be configured to a super king or twin beds as preferred. The bed linen is 600 thread count for a touch of luxury.

Outside is a pretty cottage garden with picnic bench and charcoal barbecue, and there’s the addition of a lockable shed for outdoor gear and bikes too.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together, the West Lodge can booked alongside Crailing Cottage, sleeping 5, and Crailing Coach House, sleeping 4.

Location

Crailing is five miles from the attractive, bustling market town of Jedburgh, home to a good selection of independent shops, galleries, pubs and cafes. Steeped in history, Jedburgh boasts the magnificent remains of a 12th century Augustinian Abbey, the imposing Castle Jail, the only existing example of its kind in Scotland and the 16^th Century home of Mary Queen of Scots, a visit to which reveals the fascinating but tragic story of her life.

Seven miles in the other direction is the bustling market town of Kelso described by Sir Walter Scott as "the most beautiful, if not the most romantic village in Scotland." Today it retains much of its original charm with an interesting range of independent shops including an excellent deli, butchers and fishmonger, a monthly farmer's market and a good selection of lively pubs and restaurants. Floors Castle, the majestic home of the Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe is well worth a visit. Kelso plays host to a number of events throughout the year including regular National Hunt race meets at the famous race course, the ancient custom of the Common Ridings of the town boundaries and the famous Borders Rugby 7s games.

The beguiling town of Melrose is 14 miles away from the house tucked between the Tweed and the gorse-backed Eildon Hills. As well as offering a good range of independent shops, pubs and restaurants, this picturesque town is home of rugby 7s, the annual Border's Book Festival, and the evocative ruins of Melrose Abbey. Stop off on route at Main Street Trading in St Boswells to visit the award-winning bookshop and deli.

For day trips slightly further afield, the cashmere mills at Hawick and Selkirk are nearby, the stunning Northumberland coast is an hour's drive away with miles of rocky coves punctuated by a chain of imposing castles including Alnwick and Bamburgh and miles of pristine sandy beaches for walking, riding, kite-surfing and sandcastle-building. The Georgian splendour of Edinburgh is only 48 miles away and is an easy day trip by car.
