merklands wood luxury lodges
Environmentally friendly, luxury, self-catering holiday accommodation
Merklands Wood Luxury Lodges are 100 % family owned, 100 % family run and 100 % family friendly. Alder and Aspen lodges were designed by Low Carbon Studio, Architects as purpose-built luxury self-catering holiday accommodation. Secluded in 20 acres of private woodland, which you will share with a small herd of roe deer that live there. Nestled in the foothills of the Pentland Hills on the edge of the Scottish Borders yet only 30 minutes from Edinburgh City Centre. Recently completed in the early part of 2021, made in a carbon neutral way from sustainable timber and manufactured here in Scotland. We use energy from renewable sources and even the fuel for the log stoves is from our own sustainable woodland. As a commitment to the environment we will plant a tree for every booking made (guests can plant their own tree in season) and spend a minimum of 20 % of our profit on conservation projects. Currently we are committed to and participate in the captive breeding programme of the Saving Wildcats project led by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland to help breed the Scottish Wildcat for release back into the wild.
