Scotland with Sam and The Wee White Dug
Samantha Grant, a renowned travel writer, recently enjoyed a serene two-night escape at our Castleview Holiday Lodges in the Scottish Borders....
Hot tub with a view.
Would definitely recommend.
Thank you so much x
Spectacular location and views, we stayed in the Fern Lodge and we were simply blown away with it.
Spacious, bright, welcoming and a luxurious lodge, with all the modern comforts you would expect from a 5 Start hotel (And much more!)
Step out onto the decking and you are greeted with a superior view of Castle View Lodges and in the distance, Lauder and the surrounding scenery.
To your left is a very well equipped and modern hot tub to sit back, relax and take in the beautiful setting. To your back is a very well designed and thoughtout area where you can chill on the swinging chairs, whilst the logs crackle away in the fire pit.
You also have a BBQ on site. Although we were far too lazy to use it!
A hidden gem. This has been the first time we have been away, and (albeit a bit cliché) felt like we hit the 'reset button'.
Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Thank you so much
