This picturesque country hotel and retreat offers a warm cosy welcome to guests who can take advantage of its proximity to Edinburgh, but just as much stay put if a spa break is the main purpose for visiting. A clay tennis court is hidden in the hotel’s walled garden and there’s a gym, swimming pool and sauna available to guests wanting a work out. Meanwhile, the sauna, steam room and relaxation area set the scene for calmness, before a luxurious Elemis treatment will totally restore you.
