LazyDay Cottages

'Lazyday' is about right – there's a huge temptation to hunker down in your lovely, luxurious log cabin in the Scottish Borders, surrounded by beautiful countryside. All three lodges boast a wooden deck, a secluded hot tub and outdoor dining space with rural views, with guests in the Strathisla lodge able to enjoy a private electric sauna. You won’t be in any hurry to leave, whether you're here for a weekend or for a week.

The three cabins themselves make it even harder to tear yourself away. This is high-spec, Scandi-rustic accommodation at its finest. Each lodge features an open-plan living area and two en-suite double bedrooms. The main bedroom en-suite has a free-standing roll-top bath, his and hers basins and a walk-in shower, while the second bedroom has a stylish accessible shower room. The modern kitchen is fully equipped, meaning no fruitless hunting around for a sharp knife or a corkscrew. There is WiFi throughout and a big TV with sumptuous sofas in the living room, perfect for cosy nights.

You could happily retreat here for a week of cosy meals, movie nights and alfresco sessions in the hot tub under the stars. There are also several quaint local pubs and eateries, within five miles, ideal for sampling delicious local cuisine without travelling far. The lodges are also pet-friendly and child-friendly, meaning no one needs to be left behind. A grassy lawn surrounds the lodges and is a great space for kids to play games and run wild.

Here on the Scottish side of the border, the best of both worlds awaits if you can prise yourself out of the hot tub: Border abbeys, Sir Walter Scott's home at Abbotsford House, stunning beaches, country parks and nature reserves – the Scottish Borders is a fantastic destination at any time of year. For the explorers amongst us, there are excellent cycling and walking routes along the nearby River Tweed and in the surrounding countryside. Guests can also benefit from the lodges' close proximity to England, with the dramatic walled town of Berwick-upon-Tweed just seven miles to the east, and the glorious Northumberland coast stretching south. And if none of that sounds like the lazy break you were promised, then there's nothing stopping you from heading back to your cabin for some more gentle Lazyday comforts.
