Perfect place to unwind

Staying in the Lodge at Airhouses was a fantastic experience. The countryside environment was quiet and provided great walking opportunities. The space between the accommodation provided good privacy so you could enjoy the relaxation of the hot tub without disturbance. Everyone you met was welcoming and very friendly. It's the perfect place for rest & relaxation. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay.

This was our second time staying at Airhouse's. The welcome pack with local produce was a very nice touch. Host came past, not long after we arrived, to check all was ok. Weather was great so we made full use of the barbeque. The lovely little coffee shop was new to us and we really enjoyed coffee in the nice cups. Great place to stay for a restful holiday.

Superb relaxing stay

We love a relaxing break at Airhouses. We’ve been visiting for several years. The accommodation is so comfortable and well equipped. The hot tub is a luxurious bonus. The views from the peaceful setting across the countryside are amazing. Historic Borders towns close by are always a joy to visit.

Repeat offenders

This was the latest of many visits to Airhouses but the first as a couple. We found The Lodge to be just as well equipped and comfortable as the larger lodges. It was cosy without being claustrophobic and possibly had the best view of all. We shall be back next year!

Exceptional holiday!

What a wonderful place to stay! The farm is beautiful and will make you feel very at peace, the views are picturesque and even more spectacular while relaxing in the hot tub. The animals will welcome you with a warm hello and capture your heart, I almost didn’t want to leave! Elisabeth and Damian made sure we had everything we needed and we thoroughly enjoyed the pop up coffee shop and walking trails.

Perfect getaway

The Lodge at Airhouses was spotlessly clean and had everything you would need. We were greeted on arrival and infomed of the amenities on site. The hot tub was very clean and checked twice daily. There is plenty of walking/cycling directly from Airhouses and 10 mins train journey intlo Edinburgh only a 25 minute car drive away.

Luxury in the foothills of the Lammermuirs

If you are looking to top up your mental well being in a rural location oozing with peace, tranquility and luxury, then this is the place. Add to that amazing equation totally spotless accommodation and a management team with an attitude of "The answer's Yes, now what's the question", and you can just immerse yourself in the Airhouses experience and you will not be disappointed. Having spent many years there at Xmas, it was fabulous to soak up the Scottish Summer.

Fabulous Stay

The Lodge was beautifully clean and well maintained. It's compact but we managed with the 2 of us and our dog, and the utility room gave us a bit extra room. Small outdoor table and 2 chairs on the top balcony and another set by the hot tub. The hot tub was on the lower deck and we could lock the gate on the top part which was great as our dog could see us. The views are amazing from both lodge and hot tub with the sun in the morning and late afternoon. The site has some lovely pet animals with the pigs just adorable. Good connection with WiFi. Could do with a few more utensils like serving spoons, plastic glasses and more mugs. Bed was so comfortable. Storage for clothes was small and would have preferred a set of drawers rather than dressing table. Lovely hot and powerful shower with the biggest rain shower head ever! Was a fabulous comfortable stay.

Complete bliss!

Airhouses is my favourite place, I prefer it to going abroad, we have been going there for over 20 years. the accommodation is very comfortable - we have stayed in all the lodges over the years and each one is of a similar high standard. It’s in a beautiful setting with tremendous views over the valley. It’s very peaceful and stress free. We love the animals especially as you are allowed to feed them with the small shop selling the correct food for each one. Damien who does the meet and greet is very friendly and helpful. We hope to holiday there for many years to come and who knows I may eventually figure out how the oven works

Relaxed long weekend

Staying at the Lodge was a great experience. These lodges / cabins are not new but are immaculate and maintained to a very high standard. Inside is furnished very well. The location is perfect for stargazing and hot tub keeps you warm and although there are other cabins the spacing is such you feel secluded. A great base for visiting the local attractions and if not wishing to go far saying hello to the onsite varied animals is worth doing. This was our second visit and would do it again.

Peaceful retreat

We had such an enjoyable fortnights stay in The Lodge.We didn't know this part of Scotland ,and found it to be ideal, attractive walks with our dogs, interspersed with interesting abbeys, and a highlight visit to see The Tapestry of Scotland in Galashiels. If you are interested in craft projects,and or history, I would say it a must see, I thought it was fantastic. The Lodge itself was perfect for a couple, and in our case 2 medium sized dogs. Very clean and comfortable, with superb views of the Lammamuir Hills, a view I miss! Martin was very personable and on hand should you need him. All in all a great break, would highly reccomend.

The Lodge

Just leaving now after a wonderful stay at The Lodge in Airhouses. We stayed here once before about 9 years ago and everything is just as good, I'm so glad we returned for another stay. The accomodation itself is top class, lovely cosy lodge with everything you need to enjoy a self catering holiday. Every cooking utensil you could hope for, bath towels and leisure towels, lovely shampoo/shower gel etc. Even got a smart TV with Netflix available and some board games. Can't forget about the hot tub and BBQ in the outside space which we took full advantage of. We love the site itself with all the animals which you can feed by purchasing little bags from the honesty shop. You've got pigs, ponies, sheep, goats and donkeys which you can feed. Incorporate a walk around the site using the footpaths and it's a lovely wee afternoon! Damian the GM was a lovely chap and welcomed us on our day of arrival. Also, stopped for a chat etc when we bumped into each other out and about. He's available by text/phone should you need anything during your stay. Also, special mention to The Tower Bar in the village of Oxton. It's recently been taken over by a retired couple and Mavis was so friendly. It's a nice walk down if you fancy a few drinks.

fantastic place to stay

We had a wonderful stay in the Lodge.It is the perfect place to relax and unwind . So very comfortable, peaceful and with such fantastic views from the Lodge, what more could you want. We had a hare to see us in the morning and house martins nesting whilst we were there. The weather was good and the hot tub a great way to spend an evening. Thank you all for making it special

A little bit of heaven in the Borders

Absolutely spotless on arrival with a quality welcome gift awaiting. Well equipped lodge with everything we needed and lovely toiletries. Enjoyable tour of the farm with Damien to meet the animals and to hear about the farm's history. Well off the road so peaceful and tranquil making for a very relaxed break. Fabulous views from the lodge and hot tub.

Relaxing and re-energising break.

Lovely setting and very relaxing. Suitable for couples and families. Good to have all the farm animals to see and feed - especially for younger children. Nice touch to have the honesty shop for essentials, and the pop-up cafe on site. Customer service was great - the proprietors were very friendly and went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

A cosy winter get away

Airhouses is set in the most spectacular countryside. This was our fifth visit but we were still able to find a new walk from the door of The Lodge ( to the start of "Walk with Cuthbert the shepherd", pilgrim trail). Other more familiar walks were as lovely as ever. The hot tub, even with flurries of snow, was great fun. The Lodge is a perfect size for two and is very well appointed. We would strongly recommend this as a holiday destination.

Amazing little getaway

The lodge is in a beautiful location - the views are phenomenal & the animals truly make the whole experience. We were able to buy feed from the honesty shop & feed all of the friendly animals. The hot tub was immaculate and the cottage was so cosy. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would love to come again! Thank you for a lovely stay, and a special thank you to Damian for welcoming us :)

Two week stay

Wow what can I say, since we’ve been going to Edinburgh this is the only place where we can totally relax, Damian and the team are all amazing. They make us feel so welcome. Plenty to do in the surrounding areas. We’re always sad to leave because of how much we love staying here. Thank you again for a wonderful holiday and we will be booking again for next year.
