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
Amazing time
Had everything we needed and more. The dressing downs were a lovely touch.
The lodge is very well equipped, clean, comfortable and located in a lively position overlooking woodland and fields.There is easy access to local village and good road and rail connections.
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
Amazing large holiday home the hot tub was an amazing touch.We loved everything about it so clean and they also add little touches in the kitchen that you would forget to pay.Cookies and milk for when you unpack to have a cup of tea is a perfect touch.The location is amazing for dogs and families to have a walk.I cant wait to return.
Only negatives were the gate in hot tub area and fencing has quite large spacing so small dogs not secure enough.
RubbishDIY Maintenance Hot Tub not good needs advising this before you book.
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.
Just great.
Really enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect.
Excellent facilities, great location near a town for essentials
Very happy indeed
Cant wait to return, the lodge was lovely and the scenery stunning!
Great experience, well be back soon
The place was really clean and felt super comfy. Loved having loads of towels and a washer/dryer. Brilliant stay!
Spotless. Comfortable and very well equipped. Plenty of towels available. Washer/dryer in the property. Absolutely loved our stay.
Our stay at Thirlestane Lodges was honestly fantastic. We chose to visit between Christmas and New Year and from the moment we arrived, it felt special. There was a lovely surprise waiting for us - a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates on the kitchen island, which made us smile. The lodge itself is beautifully decorated and the fireplace kept us cosy during the snowy days. We took a day trip to Edinburgh, which is only about 45 minutes away and had a great time exploring. The weather was a bit unpredictable and our little pug wasnt keen on walking in the cold, but we're already planning to return in the summer when everythings a bit brighter. The hot tub was definitely a highlight! The last night, we watched the incredible starry sky - honestly, it was breathtaking. I really cant find a fault with the place; everything was perfect, from the comfy beds to the gorgeous surroundings. Were already looking forward to coming back for our first wedding anniversary. Thanks for a lovely stay!
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 the stay, would recommend it!
Really enjoyed our stay! The peaceful woodland setting was just perfect for unwinding. Cant wait to return!
Top notch , beautiful setting in a quiet woodland , cant wait to go back .
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!
