"A very comfortable stay. The hot tub was a welcome addition. A tour of the Castle before we left proved extremely worthwhile."
"Absolutely beautiful inside and out"
"Fabulous lodge, very comfortable and everything you need had been thought of and supplied. It is definitely a luxury lodge. Great location with lovely views and walking into Lauder was very easy through the castle grounds. Loved that the decking was enclosed and also for the hot tub. Hot tub was great and easy to check ourselves each day. Very easy to get to Edinburgh and a visit to Kelso and Floors Castle were great days out."
"Loved all the decor. Very comfortable"
"Our Thirlestane Woodland Lodges review: Had everything we needed and more. The dressing downs were a lovely touch."

"Everything was clean and comfy and cosy as soon as we arrived.Lovely decoration inside, so much so i would like to do the same colours at home. Brilliant value for money."
"Absolutely fantastic hidden gem love it"
"Only negatives were the gate in hot tub area and fencing has quite large spacing so small dogs not secure enough."
"We had a fantastic time at Kingfisher Lodge! The blend of modern style with charming wooden beams gave it a lovely character. The decking was perfect for relaxing with stunning views and the hot tub was definitely the highlight - so peaceful and fun!"
"Really loved the peaceful location and spotless lodges, everything felt brand new and well-equipped. Highly recommend!"
"Honestly, these lodges are something special. Weve stayed in quite a few, but this one tops the lot. The place was spotless and felt so homely, with little touches like coffee and tea canisters, plus biscuits and milk ready for us. The hot tub was such a treat after a day out. And the pillows? Seriously comfy-best Ive ever slept on! Plenty of towels and the laundry stuff was handy too. Were already planning our next visit, cant wait to come back!"
"Honestly, the most beautiful lodge we have ever stayed in. So fresh, clean and gorgeous. It really did have everything you could possibly need, even down to the small details like coffee/tea in the cannisters and little packets of biscuits, milk in the fridge for your arrival, such thoughtful details. Hot tub was amazing too. Hands down the best pillows and duvet I've ever had anywhere! Plenty of towels and washing/drying facilities. I can't wait to book and come back to these stunning lodges."

"We had the MOST wonderful stay at Thirlestane lodges, we went for the break between Christmas and new year. On arrival a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates lay on the beautifully layout kitchen island, the features are absolutely stunning and the fire kept us warm when the snow came!We were 45 minutes away Edinburgh and had a wonderful day out there. The weather was touch and go and our little pug wouldnt walk, but we are going to come back in the summer so we can enjoy it all! The hot tub was a treat!! We spent the last evening watching the immense sky show we had of all the stars, it was unreal! I cannot fault this lodge at all, everything to the detail, the amenities, the comfy bed, the hot showers, the beautifully presented rooms, the gorgeous surroundings, I already cant wait to come back! We plan to come back for our 1st wedding anniversary and Im so excited!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
"Really enjoyed our stay! The peaceful woodland setting was just perfect for unwinding. Cant wait to return!"
"We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely lodge. Its spotless and has all the essentials for a chilled holiday. The outdoor decking area is fantastic, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the private hot tub. The welcome pack was a nice touch, although the road lighting wasnt great, so dont forget a torch if youre out late. Wed definitely come back!"
"A fabulous lodge very clean with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Very well maintained and comfortable. Nice little welcome pack on arrival with tea coffee milk and biscuits. The lighting on the road wasnt on so bring your torch if going out when its dark! Plenty outside decking space and furniture to sit out and the hot tub was great and private."
