Leithen Lodge

It looks like staycations have become a permanent part of our holiday planning. That’s hardly a cause for lamentation when the breaks are as elegant and luxurious as the one that makes up today’s Big Deal.

With a variety of packages available for your self-catering stay at Leithen Lodge at Innerleithen in the Borders, it’s easy to find an option that will be perfect for couples or family groups.

Country estate

Less than 30 miles from the capital, Leithen Lodge is a world away from the urban bustle. The Lodge itself is an A listed country house built in the Scottish Renaissance style, with Arts and Craft detail and Jacobean panelling.

Many of the rooms have wonderful period features including ornate cornicing and plasterwork.

The setting, amidst the Moorfoot Hills, is idyllic. Guests can enjoy romantic strolls by the banks of Leithen Water, not to mention the many walks and biking routes in the area.

The grounds feature a walled garden, orchard walk and a lochan running into Leithen River. The Lodge’s beauty spa also offers a wide range of treatments to soothe away any lingering city stress.

Well equipped apartments

Leithen Lodge’s self-catering apartments are stylish, well-appointed and individually decorated spaces equipped with crockery, DVD and CD players, cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer.

On the occasions when you don’t want to cook, guests can order in meals and breakfast, lunch or dinner hampers.
