welcome to
merklands wood luxury lodges

Environmentally friendly, luxury, self-catering holiday accommodation

Situated in 20 acres of mixed woodland Merklands Wood luxury lodges are a paradise for lovers of wildlife and nature. Perfectly located for exploring the beautiful Scottish Borders yet only 30 minutes from Edinburgh City Centre. Excellent as a base for exploring further afield; Glasgow, Loch Lomond, the West Coast or the Highlands,

Secluded in 20 acres of private woodland, which you will share with a small herd of roe deer that live there. Luxuriously appointed, the furniture, fittings and decoration were conceived by one of Scotland’s finest Interior Designers. Each with hot tubs and log burning stoves.

The Lodges only 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 support and participate in the captive breeding programme part of the Saving Wildcats project

Walking, cycling and hiking straight from the door, which together with a sports and games field means there is plenty to keep pets, children and adults entertained. Visit Scotland lists over 750 things to see and do within a 30-mile radius including 6 of Scotland’s UNESCO trail world heritage sights within a 45-minute drive.
