As soon as you’ve set foot inside Braidwood Castle, you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported all the way back to the 16th century…yet with all those 21st century comforts still in tact!

Dating back to 1581, this grand fortified tower once protected the resident family from the Border reivers, and you’ll find plenty of authentic features throughout (including the most magnificent views over the Braidwood Burn and the 1½-acre woodland-and-orchard grounds).

Steep stone stairs take you from floor to floor, starting with the ground-floor kitchen and dining room with its authentic stone floor and barrel-vaulted ceiling. The spectacular Great Hall features a crackling woodburner and oak furniture…plus a fascinating, intricately-painted ceiling.

The next three floors are home to the bedrooms, where you’ll find a charming single, a spacious twin, and the en-suite master double right at the top (this is the one you’ll want to claim!)

With central heating throughout, plus contemporary features that include WiFi and even a dishwasher, you can enjoy the jaw-dropping delights of time travel whilst basking in all the luxurious comforts of now.
