Kitchen equipment could be upgraded, as well as broken lights there. Cleaning could be better (e.g. fridge was not cleaned after last visitors). The showers only runs with very low amount of water. Some noise from the neighbours.

On a remote and quite but beautiful location. Great gardens, historic building and warm host! Appartment was spacious with big rooms and beds were fine as well.

Nothing to not like!

What an astounding location! The building was beautiful and quirky, and in amazing grounds with woods, a lake and views which were just idyllic. Set in peaceful surroundings, we were treated to seeing the local wildlife going about their day and enjoyed walking through the extensive gardens.

Not much soundproofing between ground floor and upstairs.

Stunning location, warm welcoming host and lovely bed

The location was lovely and area about house.

Couldn’t see out from bedroom and hardly at all from sitting room, as windows were so high. Fridge is tiny. Stairs tricky for one of our group - hand rail or rope on upper section make them easier and safer. The hot water pressure very low in bathroom but that’s a quirk of such an old building. Some good outdoor seating and eating area would be really great in such a stunning setting.

Location was amazing, and we really appreciated the access to the gardens. The quality of the refurb of the fabulous historic building was impressive. Very comfortable sitting room and bedrooms. Fab birdsong!

Nothing. Just as we like it, thank you.

The location and very helpful and friendly owners. Everything we needed for a self catering stay was there.

Stayed in June 2025

Only thing was not having a shower (bath only) in our apartment which can be a bit frustrating but everything else was great

The owners are so so kind and welcoming. They were incredibly helpful when our van broke down! the surroundings really are incredibly beautiful and we rode our bikes from the door to the bike trails at glentress and golfie. Would definitely stay again

Beautiful house with lovely grounds in beautiful location. Fantastic hosts who were flexible and accommodating, both allowing us to store bicycles in their secure locked outbuildings, and being very accommodating of a delayed departure when one of our group suffered a cycling accident - thank you!

Gorgeous stately home exuding charm. Ted, the very friendly owner, met us on arrival and showed us round. Our apartment was super comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen, spacious living room with lots of cosy seating (tv & dvd player) and three bedrooms with very comfy beds. The house itself is spectacular, set in beautiful grounds with enormous trees and chickens roaming around. Innerleithen is a five minute drive away with retail (great second-hand bookstore) and excellent coffee shops. Really recommend taking a guided tour at the National Trust's Robert Smail's Printing Works. Peebles is a further 10mins drive away with even more on offer (recommend The John Buchan Story). Beautiful grounds at Kailzie Gardens with a really impressive café/restaurant. Will be back!

There is no cell phone coverage, but the wi-fi is very good.

The site is amazing. It’s a bit remote, but that’s part of the charm. The building is amazing. The accommodations were roomy, the grounds a delight.

Nothing You shouldn’t invite negative

Leithen Lodge is that dream Scottish manor we all hope to encounter and Ted is a wonderful and most interesting host The setting is fabulous and feels like Hitchcock’s 39 steps

Nothing

The location is accessible to the nearby town of Innerleithen. Yet set amongst the back drop of the Scottish mountains and forest. There are walks within the grounds that are just beautiful. The majestic fir trees around the grounds make it quite magical. Host were helpful throughout the stay and little touches in the property made it special. This lodge and surroundings are truly unique and make it an ideal family get away.

Although I got the keys quite quickly, it is guesswork knowing where to go when you arrive for the first time. Just park in the small gravel car park to the right of the property, go through the stone archway in to the courtyard and knock on the door directily opposite the archway you have walked through. Although my active 75 year old Mum had no issues using the staircase, there is no doubt the treads are shorter than average and the carpet is loose in places near the corner. Although this needs fixing as soon as possible, I really wouldn't hesitate for one moment to stay here again, and at this value, I would stay in the 3 bed apartment again, even if it was just my wife and I. Thank you Ted.

The location here is absolutely beautiful and having got home today, my wife already wants to go back! The apartment is full of charachter and we really enjoyed our stay. The stay was made even better by the friendliness of our host Ted, who couldn't do enough to help. The Wifi here is second to none! Using Speedtest.net I had a download speed of 489mbps and an upload speed of 110mbps. As a location to Glentress for cycling, it is ideal as you have a choice of a 4 mile hill climb route in to the top of Glentress, or a 9.5 mile flat route to the base of Glentress. Not to mention 7 stanes at Innerleithen, which is only 5 flat miles door to door.

Water pressure is a bit weak to enjoy taking a shower.

It looks like a forgotten mansion from the busy world. Built old, but well maintained. Lovely hens are walking around and full of calmness.

We arrived a little earlier than expected and couldn't initially find anyone to get the key. Would have been helpful to have a key security box. The apartment was very cold and wouldn't warm up with the limited heaters in there. We were too cold to sit in the living room, as the heater only made a noise and looked like it was on but no heat coming from it. The bathroom was also very cold.

The apartment was conveniently located for us with parking. Ample room for 4 of us.

Water pressure wasn’t great. Also no tablets were provided for the dishwasher and no kitchen towel. For a shorter stay, it seems reasonable and more common to provide these items. We couldn’t figure out how to use the TV to access local channels. Instructions would have been appreciated.

Lovely estate house and surrounding grounds. Super friendly host.
