The lodge is very well equipped and comfortably furnished. The open plan layout is great for engaging the whole family. Damien made us very welcome and our dog loved the surrounding area. We used the hot tub and the bbq.
It's a great location. The views across Lauder Vale are spectacular. Our party visited Edinburgh, Falkirk Kelpies, Kelso, Melrose and Galashiels, as well as the Alpine roller coaster and Glenkinchie distillery.

This was our fifth year at Airhouses, and somehow it just keeps getting better! The setting is truly idyllic — peaceful, scenic, and the perfect escape from everyday life. The lodge and facilities are second to none: spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable.

One of the standout joys of staying here is the animals — they are absolutely beautiful and such a special part of the farm experience. This year brought exciting new activities like pony grooming and a cozy fire pit in the forest, which made our stay even more magical and memorable.

The farmer Damien and his wife are simply wonderful — warm, welcoming, and always going the extra mile to make sure guests have the best time.

We honestly can’t wait to return next year. Thank you, Airhouses, for another unforgettable holiday!

We first stayed in the Buchanan 8 years ago and have just returned for a much needed break. Such a lovely spot, peaceful and away-from-it-all but close enough to our favourite city Edinburgh to go when we wanted. Huge thanks to the Airhouses team for creating such a beautiful space. Buchanan is spacious and has plenty of little luxuries, is perfectly clean and incredibly well kept (you couldn't tell it was 8 years since we were last there!) . Hot tub much loved by our young adult children too - and you're never too old to feed the animals!

Hopefully it wont be 8 years til we visit again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Airhouses and wish it could have been longer. Having been disappointed by the standard of accommodation and surroundings of another (very expensive) self-catering lodge, we checked out early (something we have never done before) having frantically searched online for an alternative. Carol could not have been more responsive in getting our new accommodation booked for us. Upon arrival, we found a delightful bag of goodies and accommodation that is spacious and absolutely immaculate. The setting is incredible – if you're looking for peace and to feel that you've stepped off the hamster wheel of life for a while, this is the place for you. The lodge was so well-equipped – everything has been thought of here. Kids loved the hot tub (husband too – under the stars) and we enjoyed a couple of BBQs. Dogs enjoyed the treats and the field to run free. All told, our stay was absolutely perfect and our hosts were the ideal mix of checking in to make sure we were OK but also leaving us to relax. We aren't the kind of people to go to the same place twice (preferring to experience new things), but we'd return here in a heartbeat. Thank you Carol, Damian and team for such a wonderful short break.

Lovely and clean, everything you need only positive feedback would be an air fresher, a clock and hand soap at the kitchen sink.
Lovely grounds, we didn’t manage to book a taxi to go for a meal and the price was quite high as we were rural (we stayed for an occasion so wanted to have a nice cooked meal) quite costly but a lovely getaway.

A family member recommended Airhouses to us and we were not disappointed. We stayed in Buchanan , a 3 bedroom lodge with hot tub.The lodges are equipped with everything you need down to towels and robes for the hot tub.The views are spectacular and we also had some snow which made it even more special.Particular mention to Damian who was so friendly and helpful and who also helped us get the cars away from the lodge to higher ground in the snow . We look forward to visiting again in the future.

We stayed in The Buchanan last week. I had been looking for a last minute hot tub place and we stretched the budget to book the Buchanan.
I'm so glad we did.
It was fabulous. Huge fluffy towels, super comfy beds, loads of room, a wonderful welcome pack and a massive hot tub. All surrounded by the most gorgeous countryside and the cutest animals on the farm.
Everyone we spoke to was absolutely lovely and I honestly can't recommend enough.
The only downside is that it's quite far from shops/restaurants however for us that wasnt an issue and we definitely would like to return.
The house was so warm, clean and had everything we could need. We loved it.

Stayed in The Buchanan Lodge for the weekend with 2 other couples. Everything about the lodge was perfect, high quality all round. Hot tub exceptional and did not feel too crowded even when all 6 of us were in it. Lodges were well heated and well stocked with games, books, smart tv etc. Would definitely return here. Lauder is also a lovely little town about 5 miles away and the wee 9 hole golf course there is worth visiting.

Wonderful lodge in a super setting. Loved the animals on the farm, especially the donkeys which we could watch while dining in. Spacious and very well equipped, very cosy in the cooler days. Hot tub was huge and very well looked after. Had great fun at the Meet and Greet with the animals, especially the goats. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. The App before departure was a good idea, and contained all the info you needed before arrival saving time once we got there. This was our second visit but in a different lodge, and both were very well presented.

This is our second stay and we enjoyed as much as the first time. The lodge is very luxurious. Everything you need is available. The lodge is beautifully clean and the sofas and beds are very comfortable. The attention to detail is great from the decor to the lovely soft towels and toiletries. It is a wonderful place to base yourself for all ages.

Such a magical place to be. A short drive from Edinburgh, which allowed us to dip in and out of the Fringe and Tattoo hustle bustle and return to some peace and quiet when we wanted. Gorgeous accommodation and scenery. Superb hosts, who have anticipated every need of the guests, there's something for everyone from 5 to 80 year olds. This was our second visit to Airhouses and we cant wait to return.

My family and I have just returned from a lovely week’s stay in the Buchanan. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed was how spotlessly clean it was. Everything is provided to make your stay comfortable and relaxing from the minute you park the car. The hot tub was a massive hit with both the adults and the children it was spacious and clean.
We loved getting to know the animals, and we’re lucky to be there the day the two new piglets arrived, absolutely adorable addition’s.
So much thought has been put into creating a lovely get away, from the positioning of the lodges to the small touches like the hand soap. We loved it so much that we have already booked again for next year, and taking extended family with us.
Thank you to everyone at Airhouses.

We had a lovely time at the Buchanan in late July, early August. The cottage was perfect for our family of 6, including two small children and my in-laws. The views from the cottage are stunning, plenty of bathrooms, fun toy cottage for the kids and amazing grounds with animals. Everyone we met at the farm was incredibly friendly and kind. We enjoyed our time getting to know and feed the animals. The hot tub was also a favorite. We look forward to returning next year!

We had a lovely time included 80, 8 and 11 year olds and everyone loved the place. Lodge is in perfect condition and I could sit in that hot tub with that view all day. The drive up which is long and through fields immediately relaxes you. We hope to be back.

We had a wonderful family birthday celebration at Airhouses in the Buchanan. The location is beautiful and peaceful and the lodge has everything you need. The accomodation is kitted out with high quality fittings and furnishings whilst remaining very comfortable and relaxing. The hot tub was great fun and the children enjoyed feeding the animals, particularly the donkeys and Shetland ponies.
Highly recommended!

A beautiful, cosy, homely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay; house is immaculate throughout, a home from home. What an amazing place to stay! We loved the animals and how friendly they all were. Lots of lovely walks with the kids and our dog with the added pleasure of relaxing in the hot tub afterwards.

Welcome pack was a lovely gesture.

A special thanks to Damien for his help.

Needless to say, our kids already want to come back. We will definitely be booking again!

We have been going to Airhouses for nearly 12 years now - love the place. Spotlessly clean / beds so comfortable. Has everything you need for a relaxing break - always sad to leave. If you do have a problem the staff are with you immediately and are always courteous polite and very professional. Hot tubs extremely well maintained having wonderful views………We found the sofas in the Buchanan slightly uncomfortable but that may be down to personal preference.

I would not hesitate recommending Airhouses to anybody and we will be going again this year………..fantastic place to stay thanks to the meticulous way in which everything is maintained.

This was our 1st time at Airhouse and we were blown away. The Buchanan was everything we expected and more. The views were breathtaking. The cleanliness was 2nd to none. The kitchen was very well equipped, usually you are only supplied with 6 plates 6 cups etc..... but there was plenty of crockery and cutlery, you could have all your meals and put the dishwasher on at the end of the day none of this washing after every meal. The Hot Tub was huge and the views from the hot tub were amazing this was well used on our stay. The grandchildren loved going ro pet and feed the animals. Wifi signal was great so the oldest grandchild(14) was happy. It was so peaceful and relaxing just what we needed. We will definitely be back to explore the area around the farm more. Highly recommended Airhouse The Buchanan

I don’t think we could have found a better holiday home. The children loved feeding the friendly farm animals, the adults loved the hot tub with incredible views and we all loved the charming lodge equipped with everything we needed and filled with comfortable and high end furniture and fittings.
The location is great, easy access to Edinburgh while still being nestled in the countryside. The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful.
I can’t recommend it enough - we are already planning to go back with our extended family. What a find.

The Buchanan Lodge accommodation is excellent. Very clean throughout and all rooms tastefully furnished.
The welcome pack provided is not only very generous but also of top quality.
The kitchen is very well equipped and the extra fridge/freezer in the store cupboard is a real plus.
Great to have environmentally friendly products for cleaning and various bins/boxes for recycling.
The hot tub is a real bonus and the daily checks in no way intrusive.
There are various outdoor seating options and cushions and recliners are stored in the boiler room (a great place for drying swimwear etc. - with clothes rack provided).
The honesty shop and pop up coffee shop are great facilities.
Damian and family were always more than happy to help with questions abut the lodge, farm and further afield.
Booking and subsequent communications were all processed speedily and efficiently.
The Airhouses family team, deserve to be very proud of themselves, for providing such first class facilities in a very beautiful and peaceful environment.

We decided to take advantage of a very good discount and book a last minute weekend stay at The Buchanan. As usual everything was perfect and we were able to take advantage of the thoughtfully placed outside furniture as the weather was beautiful.
After the amazing thunder and lightning storm, Damian came round the lodges to check everything was ok, very thoughtful!
Our welcome bag we receive with delicious goodies is alway gratefully received.
Thank you again to all the team at Airhouses !

This is the 3 rd revisit to AIRHOUSES and we have rebooked for next year. A little piece of heaven. I’ve been as a couple to this location ( pod) then returned twice since to Buchanan with my children and grandchild. Everything about this holiday home is perfect. Rural farmland, animals, views, hot tubs bbq and every amenity required in an amazing 5 star lodge - the farmer and his family are so welcoming. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s perfect no matter what the weather is doing and at any time of the year.

Beautiful lodge, equipped with everything we could need, in stunnimg surroundings.
The fact we could wander and feed the animals was ideal. My son was very taken with the friendly goats.
Hot tub was very big and we enjoyed being able to use this at night and see the stars - as no light pollution.
Hosts were very helpful and having the shop on site was great.
Most relaxed we've felt in a long time - can't wait to go back!

The preordered home made food from the humbie hub was magnificent, delicious and good value for money. We wished we had pre-bought more than we did. The lodge was comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The upstairs twin room is probably better suited to children than adults but beds were all very comfortable throughout. The fact the lodges are part of a working farm, it was very peaceful and beautiful location and was fun to interact with the animals. We had only one issue when there and it was resolved immediately so great customer service. The separate field for dogs to get off lead and chase balls was really convenient.

I have visited Airhouses several times in the past and it doesn't fail to deliver, I absolutely love coming to stay. This time I was celebrating mutual birthdays with my sisters and it was their first time. They were also enchanted by the lodge, the surroundings and the facilties and of course the farm animals and wildlife too! The lodge is spacious, immaculately clean with super comfy beds and bedding. Carol, Martin, Damian and the team are so welcoming and accommodating. The pop up Coffee shop and kids playhouse are a must. We also arranged massages and afternoon tea one day and the whole experience was superb. We also had a morning at Bird Gardens Scotland which was a great experience for us all. All that coupled with peace and quiet, a wonderful hot tub and everything you can imagine - made it the perfect week of relaxing. Will be back.

Had a wonderful peaceful time staying here. It was just what the doctor ordered !
The place was spotless on arrival and Damien as always is on hand to answer any questions you may have. The peace and tranquility stunning views fabulous sunrises and sunsets - what’s not to like - especially viewed from the lovely hot tub.
This was the first time I’ve stayed at The Buchanan and first time with family (usually go with friends to Capercaillie). I’m delighted to say it quickly became evident they love it just as much as me.
The fabulous wee honesty shop and freezer booth are excellent and it was great walking up in pjs putting on your wellies and warm coat to get fresh eggs in the morning.
Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Had a lovely half term break staying in The Buchanan, everything in the lodge was spotless, extremely comfortable and the hot tub was a real treat, especially at night star gazing! The views from our lodge were stunning, we loved all the animals...especially the donkeys. We did a couple of great walks from the lodge and visited Edinburgh twice, using the Park and Ride from Newcraighall which made our journeys stress free. Enjoyed chatting with Damian - thanks to you and all the team for a really lovely stay.

Another excellent stay at Airhouses, our happy place!
We only booked at 2pm and were in the Buchanan at 4 30pm.
This was my 5th visit to Airhouses this year and it never disappoints, I think the place is contagious!
As usual the Buchanan was spotless including bedding and towels. We enjoyed our visit to the Pop Up Cafe, a lovely addition.
The weather was very kind which was a bonus. See you all soon and thank you.

Another lovely stay at Airhouses. The hot tub with the views is amazing at any time of the day. We usually went in in the afternoon and then again when it was dark. So relaxing. Had a bbq this time as well which was nice. Comfy beds and sofas. Great wifi. Everything you need. The farm animals are lovely to wander round too.

This is our second vacation at the Air houses.

We travel each summer and rent a vacation house somewhere around the world.

So far, Air houses has been far better than anything else we have experienced.

The place is beautiful tranquil quiet clean neat maintained and pleasant . We were so happy to come back to Air houses every day after hiking in the Scottish borders.

Highly recommended.

This was a return visit to the Buchanan and we certainly were not disappointed !
As usual everything was perfect, even the weather. The bedding and towels are spotless, lovely toiletries too. The accommodation is very comfortable. We were kept entertained by the baby goats!
We will be returning as soon as we can.
Thank you to all the team at Airhouses !

If you’re seeking a tranquil, beautiful escape with all the comforts of home then look no further than Airhouses.
The lodges are warm, inviting, spotless and well equipped. The views are captivating and ever-changing. The only sounds are birdsong and maybe the bleeting of one of the pet goats if he gets himself into mischief!
There is plenty of wildlife and lots of pleasure for all ages to be had greeting and feeding the animals around the farm.
It’s well located for visiting the Scottish Border towns, Edinburgh and North Berwick but honestly wherever we went we couldn’t wait to get back and sit quietly or jump in the hot tub (rain or shine) and just enjoy the views.
We loved the farm shop and enjoyed some delicious meals that the local café had supplied. Carol, Martin, Damien and family were inviting, kind and helpful throughout the stay.
We were also delighted to have free EV charging at the lodge. It made exploring the area so easy and ‘range-anxiety free’!
I really can’t recommend this enough and we are very much looking forward to returning again.

The accommodation was very nice with all the mod cons covered. Beds were soo comfy and the lodges were very well equipped with everything you could think of for a self catering holiday.
The whole family loved the hot tub and the views were breathtaking.
Kids loved the animals and that it was okay to go feed them carrots and apples. From Alpaca’s, donkeys, Shetland ponies, goats, pigs and not forgetting Apple (friendly highland cow) there was plenty to get round.
The dogs loved the walks and the meadow to run free in.

But we absolutely loved the holiday, the info in the lead up to holiday, your little app that we could download was a really nice touch and allowed us to plan ahead.

Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends and we will be back in the future.

Beautiful return visit to AIRHOUSES Lauder. Location is adorable and the farm animals and toy room on the farm was very well visited.
Immaculate lodges with all facilities.
Superb outside setting and facilities of hot tub and bbq add to the luxuries provided.
Fantastic staff around the farm - helpful and friendly but not at all intrusive

Six of us have just returned from a long weekend at Airhouses and we enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked to go back. We stayed in The Buchanan, one of the luxury 5 star lodges with uninterrupted views of the Lammermuirs. The lodge was spotlessly clean and very well equipped with lots of thoughtful added extras and a welcome basket. We spent the days exploring the Borders and loved the area. Our evenings were spent in the hot tub gazing up at the stars that were really clear in the night sky. The onsite shop was well stocked and great for local produce.

There are some lovely walks around the farmland where you can meet some adorable and friendly rescue animals - aplacas, donkeys, pigs, sheep and goats.

Such an enjoyable stay, we left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Looking forward to visiting again.

Had a wonderful relaxing last minute weekend at the Buchanan lodge, highly recommend.

Lodge was gorgeous, in beautiful surroundings and was well kitted out with everything you could need.

The owners have really tried to think of everything, they provide a lovely welcome pack and there is also an onsite shop should you need some essentials (gluten free options available too which was lovely to see).

Exactly what we needed and we would definitely come back again.

This is our second time staying here and my family and I had such a lovely time. We were so happy that we could all make it, just what we needed! The location is beautiful, peaceful and quiet, the lodge was very clean, lovely and warm, and festive, with great views. And on the clear nights you could see so many stars, great to observe when in the hot tub! Carol and her team make you feel most welcome and are very accommodating. They are super quick to respond to any queries you might have. We had a great time, ate out on occasions at the local Carfraemill hotel which was good, but mainly spent our time relaxing in the lodge and going for some lovely long walks. We would definitely recommend the Airhouses.

Stayed in many lodges/cottages over the years. This is the best by a distance. No corners at all cut here everything is exemplary, amazing accommodation.
Hot tub great with amazing views.

Excellent location. We visited Edinburgh, coastal Scottish towns and Northumberland towns. Property served our needs perfectly and was all lovely and very well equipped. We didn’t feel like we were on top of one another each bedroom having its own bathroom. The hot tub was an extra bonus & added that touch of luxury. It was much used. Our dogs loved the walks around the farm and we loved all the beautiful farm animals. The perfect hideaway.

We loved everything about the Airhouse stay in the Buchanan lodge with its wonderful the hot tub set in truly beautiful scenery. Damien and the staff were exceptional with helpful information and a discreet presence and staying on a working farm was wonderful. We had not seen our family with two grandchildren for a year due to Covid and the children loved all the animals and the space. They stayed in the nearby Ramsay. It really was an exceptional experience with beautiful lodges, nearby Lauder, Melrose and Edinburgh and lovely walks around the farmland. We had some rain but it is Scotland and that is why it is green, we just got in our hot tub and enjoyed the views. We chose the Airhouse during Covid restrictions and the attention to details on cleaning regimes between guests was very reassuring. It was a perfect stay in a really beautiful setting and we will be back again. We would recommend the Airhouses without hesitation.

Smooth arrival using clear directions from Airhouses. Our first reaction was how clean and spacious our lodge was. There was a great welcome pack also.
Everything was of a nice standard, from the bedding to the crockery. We definitely had that sense of luxury.
We made use of the hot tub which was checked twice daily.
We didn’t have the kids with us however we spent the whole time telling each other how much the kids would love it here. We could see donkeys and geese form our lodge (which was comical). Further round there was lama and Shetland pony’s. There’s a handy shop on site too.

Will we come back? Definitely

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with the family. The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and quiet. The Buchanan was really lovely, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Sitting out first thing in the morning taking in the views or getting into the hot tub was just bliss! The place is very well set up and we felt very welcomed and looked after. Also the gift pack was so thoughtful and nicely done. The farm shop was great and well stocked and I especially loved that there were so many products gluten free (being intolerant to gluten myself). There is a lots to see and do around the area and some great local walks. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend.

Beautiful accommodation set in lthe most beautiful countryside. We loved spotting the wildlife especially watching the deer, hares and owls in addition to the lovely farm animals. Perfect location and so wonderfully thought out facilities to.make our stay relaxing and comfortable. Beautiful views as you enjoy the awesome hot tub. The accommodation was perfectly equipped, clean and luxurious. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and gave us a well needed break. The hosts were welcoming and approachable and clearly cared about making sure all was well with our stay. It felt so safe in relation to COVID and their efforts to ensure our safety were greatly appreciated. We will certainly return. Our 4yr old grandson joined us as well as his great grandparents, Airhouses ticked all the boxes for us all..We had a wonderful time. Thank you Airhouses team.

Our second visit to the Buchanan and it didn’t let us down.
All fittings and equipment are to a high standard. We especially enjoy our visits to the animals too.
The on site honesty shop is well stocked. It’s reassuring to have the hot tub checked twice daily.
Definitely need to do a return visit.

I only have positive things to say about this lodge - it was perfect! The setting is just beautiful, nestled in the stunning Scottish Borders. Our children loved wandering around the farm and the little shop and children’s play shed were a hit!

The lodge itself was immaculate. The owners have thought of everything. It was better equipped than any lodge we have stayed in and all facilities were in perfect working condition.

The little touches made a great impression, from the amazing welcome hamper, to the Christmas tree and lights out on the balcony area.

The owners/management went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. I really appreciated the welcome call to ensure all was well.

I have already recommended this accommodation to friends and family. We also look forward to visiting again. Absolutely ten out of ten!

just back from a fantastic weeked stay in the Buchanan Lodge. Couldnt have asked for anything more in the lodge, everything was all to a very high standard and cleanliness was second to none! We loved being able to walk around the farm also talking to the animals. Damien was so friendly and helpful....he came to check on our first day that everying was fine and would chat whenever he was passing. We would highly recommend visiting and hope to be back again!

Four adults, 2 older children and 1 baby had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Airhouses. The lodge was warm, well appointed and clean throughout. The hot tub was a huge bonus. The kids enjoyed feeding grass to the Shetland ponies and meeting the alpacas and pigs. Some lovely surrounding walks. We went to North Berwick and took the rib boat to Bass Rock which was excellent. We also went canyoning with Intrepidus from Edinburgh which was brilliant fun. Also an easy train ride from Stow to see the highlights in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this holiday area as a quiet and stunning family break.

This is our fourth visit to the Airhouses and it didn't disappoint. We appreciated the extra measures which had been taken to ensure safety for all, including keyless entry. The cleanliness has always been excellent and continues to be. Everything in the lodges is of a very high standard. The welcome on arrival was virtual this time, but we knew we could easily contact the owners should we have any problems, which we didn't. I can thoroughly recommend the Airhouses for a relaxing and quiet holiday and have already booked again.

I went to Airhouses with family members, three generations of us.
Whilst the older ones of the party loved it, just chilling and enjoying the "freedom" after enforced lockdown, in beautiful surroundings, with little chance of encountering other people. It was too remote and "boring" for the youngest member of the family. However, that won't stop me from returning for another stay, I'll just leave the youngest one at home!! ( Not alone, of course).

We really enjoyed seeing all the animals including wild deer, hares, pigs llamas and Shetland ponies.
The hot tub with views was just perfect.

We all enjoyed our first stay in the Buchanan lodge. Fantastic views from the lodge. Very comfortable and clean. The hot tub was amazing. My 2 year old grandson thought everything was awesome and he loved watching and feeding all the animals. We used the shop on the farm too which was very useful. The staff are very welcoming. Can’t fault the service we received and looking forward to coming back again soon!

This is our 3rd stay at Airhouses, twice before in the Ramsay and on this occasion in the Buchanan and we have never been disappointed. The lodges are 5* luxury in an amazing location, the views over the Scottish hills are breathtaking.

The immaculate lodges are a home from home with everything you will need for your stay. They are a credit to the owners who have thought of everything. The breakfast pack on arrival with added complimentary items is a lovely welcoming touch. The beautiful furnishings, the comfiest super king sized beds will ensure the best nights sleep you will ever have!

Then of course there is the 5* hot tub ... what better way to unwind than to enjoy a glass of wine in the hot tub whilst appreciating the amazing views and watching wild deer run past.

The location is great for exploring the area, we had a couple of days in Edinburgh, we enjoyed a visit to Rosslyn Chapel as well as a day out to Bannockburn & Stirling Castle. On one day we just enjoyed a “down” day in the lodge, took a lovely circular walk (5k) via the village followed by unwinding in the hot tub... perfect

We will definitely be back

Could not have asked for more. The whole experience was fantastic from the wonderful hampers to the beautiful Christmas decorations in the property. All items were top end from the nespresso machine, kitchen equipment, showers, comfortable beds and lets not forget the excellent Hot Tub. Really enjoyed our stay for Christmas and will be looking forward to going back again.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, having traveled up in torrential rain, but were fortunate to arrive when the rain had stopped, and the sun was peaking out, to a beautiful location, with stunning views from the Lodge windows.
The Lodge exceeded our expectations, was immaculately clean and all the finishing touches were so welcome - especially the fudge for the kids !
Good internet service (a must with 2 teenagers), and the added bonus of being able to watch Netflix.
We made good use of the hot tub, and were lucky that we had dry weather for the whole of our 6 night stay - some wonderful starry nights.
I would certainly recommend this Lodge and location to anyone else - a bit out of the way, but well worth going a little off the beaten track for the peace and quiet. We will certainly look to return.
This place is a credit to all who put the hard work in to keep the Lodges and surrounding areas in such a wonderful state.

We've stayed here several times before and have once again enjoyed an amazing weekend.
The Buchanan is spotless, very nicely furnished and stocked with everything you could wish for.
The breakfast basket is full of delicious local produce and the little gift bag also has local goodies!
The hot tub is very well maintained, the water being checked twice daily. It's perfect to relax in whilst enjoying the lovely countryside views.
The wildlife and farm animals are always a pleasure, especially Rolo the cat who was our frequent visitor!
We cannot recommend Airhouses highly enough and have already booked our next visit.

The Buchanan is perfectly situated in rolling farmland with stunning views.
The attention to detail from the owners Carol and Martin, with help from Damien was second to none. From the lovely welcome pack, to the slippers and robe for the hot tub and then beyond with the books, games and maps to while away a wet hour or two (it is Scotland after all!).
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the kids enjoyed the feeding of the farm animals and the adventure trail, we enjoyed the peace and tranquillity that the Buchanan beholds.

Had the best UK holiday here. Weather was perfect, so that helped. However, also, views were stunning, and the Buchanan itself had everything needed. Beds were comfy (always a worry!) and everything was clean. Particularly appreciated the slippers and gowns and extra towels for outside (hot-tub) use. Also the fact that hot-tub was checked every day, very reassuring. Wifi was good. Shop was well stocked and reasonably priced. Children enjoyed feeding and visiting the farm animals, actually adults did too! Also appreciated the historic houses cards for free entry into Traquair and Abbotsford (and others). Only one thing I can think of to improve (and this is picky), is a quick refresh needed of the fairy doors in the wood.
100% recommend.

We stayed as an adult family and all had a fantastic time. The lodge was very well equipped, hot tub looking out at fantastic views was very relaxing after a day of sight seeing in the Borders. Location very good to use as a base or for a few days R and R. Our only small issue was we ran out of hot water for showers a couple of mornings as there were 5 of us.
The owners were very helpful and friendly. We plan to return and would recommend Air Houses.

Thank you so much for your positive review. Please do let us know, if you come again, if there is a problem with hot water or indeed any problem. The Buchanan is for 6 people and is set up as such so there should never be any issues with water. However, on the Tuesday morning all the water was being tested, filters changed and lots of checks carried out which may have caused a delay in water coming through. Again many thanks for your feedback ad we do hope you will visit Airhouses again

Another amazing stay

The lodge itself was beautiful, very comfortable set within in an idyllic working farm, with views of the animals and fields.
The owners are lovely, very accommodating with lots of knowledge of the surrounding area and animals, within the lodge there is a little shop set up by the owners which is open 24 hours, they run an honesty box as staff aren't on site all the time, this was a lovely touch.

The Lodge was fantastic - comfortable, spacious and very well equipped, with amazing views over the country. Interesting animals on the farm were really good for the kids to get involved with. Hot tub was amazing - sitting in it gazing at the night sky (which we did every night) was wonderfully surreal. Edinburgh 40 minutes away - beautiful coast and castles - 40 minutes in another direction.
Everything was incredibly well organised and polished. We will be back soon !!

I would just like to say that we were made feel welcome, Martin takes some time out to speak with us which I think is wonderful.
Martin also informs you of all you need to know about the area with the local history. Everything is special from start to finish, this is the second year we have gone and stayed in the Buchanan, my wife and family all love it and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Thanks very much.

At first I was surprised just how far out the accommodation was - it seemed in the middle of nowhere! But, it is worth it for the views and the peace and quiet!
The welcome breakfast pack was absolutely fantastic. I had ordered haggis instead of black pudding by accident, but it was a happy accident! The bacon and sausages were such good quality! I haven't had bacon like that since I was a child!
There was also a welcome pack with toiletries and a scented candle which was a lovely touch.
The accommodation was top quality, the two double rooms were perfect. the baskets for clothes is a good idea (I have been on many a holiday where there are no drawers - just hanging space and a couple of shelves). En-suite was lovely with a great shower. The towels are huge and so thick and soft! The upstairs twin bedroom was fine - my 2 adult daughters shared this, and apart from having to stoop to dry their hair at the mirror there were no real issues. It could be different during the summer as I imagine this room would get very warm.
We used the oven and the microwave - please note it took us till the next day and a bit of hunting to find the instructions! They are in the bottom drawer in the Nespresso book! The microwave really taxed our brain!
There are videos and board games as well as books. We could not get the video to work but this was not a real issue!
To the hot tub - could take or leave a hot tub previously - never having used one outside before. I am now a convert! Sitting in the dark looking at the stars and just sitting in the warm water was so relaxing, especially after a day driving and wandering round the border country.
Only issue I had was the that stairs were not lit - although there is a yellow strip I do feel that there should be more lighting at that point. Perhaps we had missed a switch or something!
We used the barbecue one night (sorry, but I think we forgot to clean it out) buying steaks from Shaws Fine Meats in Lauder. Excellent! We also went to Carfraemill for a meal on one night. Food was excellent, most had steak pie and I had sea bass. No complaints from anyone!
There are walks around the lodge and the farm with lovely views and although our party was all adults they were quite taken with the animals. Especially the farm cat Rolo. He is a wee sook and a scrounger. If you like cats that's fine I am sure he will leave you alone if you don't want him around. We were all quite sad to say goodbye to him, felt like he had become part of the family!

All in all I would happily recommend this and the other properties to anyone. We were very lucky with the weather. It was crisp but clear and sunny most of the time. In summer I think you would need to close the curtains during the day to avoid over heating. But that is a minor problem.

Lodge was spotless and very comfortable. Hot tub was much used, especially good to have something outdoors to do in poorer weather. Views were amazing and lovely to feed the animals - deer visited two evenings much to the childrens’ delight! Very peaceful and relaxing location. Kitchen very well equipped and nice touches to have the gift bag, slippers, and food items.

After staying at The Lamont last year which was wonderful, we thought we would try The Buchanan this year and we were not disappointed!
A beautiful lodge with amazing views. We all enjoyed feeding the animals and enjoyed the hot tub too.
We visited Edinburgh for the Fringe Festival on many days.The journey into the city was fine as we used the Park and Ride as recommended.
Airhouses is the perfect place to return to after a hectic day!

Thank you

This was a lovely relaxing family holiday, the lodge was clean and very comfortable and had the most beautiful views. The children loved being on the farm and feeding the animals and we even took one of the shetland ponies out for a walk. Airhouses provided a wonderful welcome basket with all you needed for a great breakfast and other tasty bits and pieces included as well. The hot tub was well used, the children loved it too. Thanks to Martin and Carol for a lovely stay.

Very comfortable and well appointed property in Beautiful surroundings. BUT!! Please be aware that the property owners do not allow visitors to the property, which would then make numbers exceed the total number of adults the property can sleep, even though visitors are only coming for a meal or BBQ. I have never experienced this proviso anywhere else we have stayed and it was not made clear when booking. We had intended to invite our two adult children and their partners to a BBQ, as they live locally, but with there already being 3 adults and 2 children staying in the property this was not permitted and we had to make alternative arrangements. As this was one of the main reasons for choosing the locality of this property it spoiled the experience.

Owners check PH and acidity levels of hot tub at regular intervals and had informed us when this was to happen. I had not expected then to actually add chemicals to hot tub while we were in it though. Quite disconcerting!

Guest from Stonehaven stayed at The Buchanan for 7 nights in July 2018

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are delighted you enjoyed the Buchanan Lodge and our lovely surroundings. However our Terms and Conditions, which you sign up to when booking, and indeed our whole booking process clearly indicates that the numbers of guests on the booking form must not be exceeded either during the day or overnight. Airhouses unique selling point is “peace and quiet” and if each of our lodges had 4 additional people, over and above the number allocated then there would be an additional 24 people. Our septic tank, never mind the peace and quiet, would be unable to cope! It is a legal requirement and also for your own safety, that the hot tubs are checked at least twice a day. We do advise you of the approximate time of day these checks will take place and if chemicals are low then Chlorine is added. It is quite safe for you to be in the hot tub when the checks are taking place or when Chlorine is added, and we do also advise that if you prefer to get out of the hot tub, then we will wait. There are leaflets in each lodge about this and Health and Safety in general when using a hot tub. If you decide to return to Airhouses and your guests will be more than 6, then perhaps you would like to consider the Capercaillie which takes up to 10 guests. Again many thanks for taking the time to write a review.

You won’t want to go sight seeing views are stunning from the lodge. Animals so friendly and engaging and walks afford even greater views of wildlife and surrounding landscape. Local produce was excellent and Martin goes extra mile to assist your holiday being what you want it to be

We had such a lovely weekend at Airhouses. The lodge was absolutely perfect, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The later check out time was a bonus too. We hope to return very soon.

Taking 4 teenagers away for the weekend could have been disastrous! However, it was wonderful. We all had space to come and go as we please. We all loved the hot tub - obviously, and being able to wander around the farm feeding and talking to the animals was brilliant. So relaxing and just what we wanted.
Thank you.

We stayed at the Buchanan lodge. It had excellent facilities and all the necessary mod cons. The lodge was very clean and the owners had added lovely touches to add to our comfort such as dressing gown and slippers. Importantly for the kids, the WiFi worked really well!
The view from the lodge was stunning particularly from the hot tub. There are lots of animals to feed which the kids loved doing.
The complimentary breakfast basket contained some lovely local produce.
We arrived when there was a lot of snow and the owners had provided sledges for the children which was greatly appreciated.
All in all a great place to holiday. The owners were helpful, friendly and kind.

We stayed in The Buchanan in August 2011. Back then it was just us and our 10 year old daughter. The holiday was perfectly suited to our needs back then and we always promised ourselves that we would return one day.
Fast forward to December 2017 when we (eventually) returned with my 70+ year old Mum, our 17 year old daughter and her boyfriend of the same age.
As it did previously, the property, location and facilities suited us perfectly despite our 'advancing' years. Airhouses is definitely the place to make fantastic memories. Thank you Carol and Martin!

Stunning lodge with first class fittings, facilities, furniture and fabrics. Lovely and cosy even with -3 degree C outside. The hot tub was amazing with plenty of space for all six guests. Breath taking views with plenty privacy between lodges. The welcome breakfast of locally sourced produce was delicious and the welcome pack added that extra special touch. Would recommend and return without hesitation.

Stayed with husband and family for weekend. Loved the place, even had a Christmas tree up and fairy lights on the balconies. Amazing countryside walks on your doorstep. Loved meeting and feeding the animals on the farm. Great to be able to jump in a large hot tub after a nice walk or at night to watch the stars. Pretty magical.

Booked the Buchanan for 6 ladies. Lovely welcome from mr and mrs Houghton. Our accommodation was beautiful. Spacious, with breathtaking views. Every thing we needed was supplied. Robes and slippers for the hot tub, and a very well equipped kitchen. Every room had its own bathroom and the beds were very comfy. 30mins into Edinburgh and 45 from beaches. A lovely stay. Would recommend

This was a wonderful autumn break in a beautiful place. The lodge and hot tub were exactly as described. There were plenty of home comforts, including an excellent welcome breakfast pack. I thoroughly enjoyed feeding the animals, watching wild deer and pheasants and just relaxing. I would highly recommend this and fully intend to return at a future date.

I just love getting out of the car when arriving at Airhouses and immediately I feel relaxed. It's so quiet and tranquil. He Buchanan is so well appointed and I love the deep red kitchen. Sitting at the window enjoying the view is better that any TV programme. It was lovely to catch up with Carol and Martin and hear all about the new piglets! The new hot tub was wonderful with relaxing jets wherever you sat. A fabulous weekend topped off with a great roast dinner at The Black Bull in Lauder. Thanks again Airhouses!

Another fabulous weekend at The Buchanan.
The lodge is situated in beautiful, peaceful countryside with great views.
The lodge itself is spotlessly clean.
The kitchen is very well stocked with every dish, utensil & piece of cutlery that you could wish for and the breakfast basket is full of delicious local food.
The beds in each room are so comfortable and the linen is of very high quality.
Most of our time is spent in the hot tub (recently renewed) and this is very well maintained, the water being checked twice daily.
A thoroughly enjoyable lodge and location.
Thank you Airhouses.

After looking for weeks for a lodge which had en-suites in every room we stumbled across Airhouses, and I'm so glad we did! The break was for our friend who was celebrating a special birthday. We were warmly welcomed by Carol who directed us to the lodge, on arrival we found fresh fruit, a substantial Scottish breakfast pack, bread and all the essentials. Would highly recommend booking and will certainly return. Many thanks Carol and Martin

On entering 'The Buchanan' you are greeted by a warm, spacious and inviting space. Everything has been organised and thought through to the finest detail. The views across the farm are spectacular and the Spa is a welcome treat from a long journey. If only we didn't live 10,000 kms away we would be here again sooner! The White Family. Sydney Australia

Located in southern Scotland within 2 miles of the main A68, the lodge was easily accessible by road, with the nearest rail station about 20 minutes by car. Very quiet location. Very high quality facilities and decor. Very clean and well managed. The highlight for us was the large hot tub outside with superb views across the rolling countryside. Ideal venue for us (family party of 6 with toddler). Several easy and interesting walks around the area. The many animals on the farm (ponies, pig, hens, Alpaca and Llama) proved irresistible to our young grand-daughter, as did the purpose-built play-house with a huge selection of toys and books. The cost was probably at the higher end of the accommodation scale, but it was justified by the high quality facilities and overall design of the Buchanan. We would love to return.

Fabulous property in outstanding location, from the reviews we expected it to be good but it exceeded our expectations. It's a good central location for exploring the Borders, within easy of the coast & Edinburgh. Great hot tub from which to watch the wildlife and the views, a real sense of peace & tranquility. The lodge itself was well maintained, very comfortable indeed and everything worked!

Highly recommended, can't wait to go back.

This will be our 5th time at Airhouses and once again a perfect holiday. Carol & Martin make you most welcome, the lodge is 5 star and the welcome pack is generous. Feeding the animals is the highlight of my grandchildrens holiday. If you are looking for first class accommodation and not to far from the capital city look no further.

Wow! Well off the beaten track, quiet as could be, stunning views and a hot tub to die for!
Grandma, granddad, mum, dad ,and two grandchildren were well impressed by our stay in The Buchanan.
Accommodation perfect, loads of crockery - pots and pans for a banquet - bed rooms and bathrooms - five star.
The upstairs bedroom is a little low for grown ups but not a problem for little people.
"Best hot tub we've been in" from those who had been in them before.
Kids had fun with the ponies and enjoyed the walks around the farm on the treasure trail.
The sitting area was great but could do with a couple of standard lamps each side of the main window which could enhance the cosiness whilst around the coffee table and what about some larger mugs for well earned drinks and possibly a salad spinner in the kitchen - that would be nice.
Overall The Buchanan is stunning ,morning ,noon, and night and we would not hesitate to return.

After our super break in the Summer, my husband and I wanted to come back in December to celebrate his birthday and we had the most relaxing, memorable time again. The Buchanan Lodge is simply exquisite - we arrived to a beautiful Christmas tree and lights on the decking which made us feel very Christmassy straight away. Everything was faultless and geared for comfort just like The Lamont and I cannot recommend Airhouses enough. Thank you again to Carol and Martin for a magnificent stay, we will be back! We would recommend visiting Firebrick for a meal too and if you like to view the wildlife, open the blinds quietly in the mornings and you may see the deer outside. You will also experience the most amazing sunrises and sunsets.

Just spent a fabulous time at the Buchanan Lodge. Everything was catered for to cover our stay and the photios showing the Lodges do not give true justice to how good they are. When you then add the location with the stunning views, animals to feed, wifi that works and the hot tub you can see why people return for further visits. We certainly will be.

This is the third lodge we have stayed in and my fourth visit. The Buchanan was the same high standard as the others.
The location is perfect and ideally placed for trips into Edinburgh or the Borders. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and all the finishing touches like The Nespresso coffee machine, excellent toiletries and sumptuous large towels with additional
towels for the hot tub, books and games and even plastic glasses for the hot tub make it a luxury stay. The lodge was extremely well equipped with plenty of crockery, pots and pans for the six of us. The breakfast and welcome pack was fantastic local produce and I was delighted that cleaners and dishwashing tablets etc. we're all eco friendly like home. The view was superb and so calming and relaxing and the resident animals and birds chirping in the morning were a delight. Airhouses is idyllic and it was a wrench to go home.
We will be back again next year. My sons, wives, my husband and myself love Airhouses. It's perfect.

The hot tub remains our favourite relaxation and is very well maintained.
Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are glad you found the beds comfortable as they have all recently been replaced so that is good to know. Shaws the butchers in Lauder provide most of the content of the breakfast baskets and our guests do seem to enjoy all the local produce. Again many thanks and we hope to see you back for your 5th visit.

We have just stayed for our third time at The Buchanan Lodge, Airhouses. The excellent standards set by the owners have been continued over the years. We were again thrilled at the cleanliness and luxury provided by the accommodation. The outlook and position remans stunning. It's remote, private and peaceful and yet the excitement of Edinburgh is only a half hour drive away. The owners have ensured that there are lovely walks around the farm- plenty to look at, animals to feed as you go and wildlife to spot. We saw foxes, deer, hares and owls. The lodge has everything you could want, it's very comfortable indeed. It's worth getting the BBQ if the weather is up to it, we enjoyed several meals outside. The hot tub is lovely to relax in and is top of the range. We understand that a new one is comng in the autumn and that's one of the impressive things about Airhouses. It's always being improved and updated so that we, the customer will always have an excellent holiday. We will be returning.

We booked Airhouses at short notice when another booking we made at a different location fell through. We were very pleased with the lodge, the location and the service of our hosts.The lodge was very comfortable and of a high standard. Everything we needed was provided and as we expected based on the websites (Airhouses and Embrace Scotland). In fact we felt the view from the lodge far exceeded our expectations. We especially liked the gorgeous views from the large windows, the comfortable bed, shower and bath towels, The welcome food basket/toiletries/cleaning supplies were thoughtful and useful (we arrived late in the evening) as was the information provided on the lodge, farm and local sites.Overall we had a lovely experience at Airhouses and would highly recommend a stay here. One specific point to mention: the second cattle grid on the track to the lodge was a little tricky to negotiate with a couple large holes in the track.

This was our 4th time at the Buchanan lodge and again everything was perfect. The lodge is spotless, it is comfortable,Carol & Martin make you very welcome and my grandchildren just love the animals. We have been to a few lodge / hot tub holidays and Airhouses is by far the very best ( by a mile ). We will be back next year as my daughter is already asking if I have it booked yet! If you are looking for a lodge/hot tub holiday they don't come any better than Airhouses.

The lodge was lovely - downstairs the two bedrooms had beautiful en-suite facilities and huge comfy beds, however, the 3rd bedroom (upstairs) was really not suitable for adults due to the very steeply sloped ceiling. It would have been a magical place for kids but definately wasn't easy for adults. I did feel slightly upset that the lodge was sold to us as having accommodation for 6 people - which I assumed would be adults - but found, on arrival, that it was really more suitable for 4 adults and two children.

Having said that, it didn't spoil our weekend at all - the facilities were great and the hot tub was fabulous. We spent lots of time in the water and thoroughly recommend having a midnight dip on a bitterly cold February night - the star watching is so much better from 38 degree water!

We had a lovely, relaxing weekend and would recommend to the owners that they make the style/situation of the 3rd bedroom clear so that anyone booking in future won't be disappointed when they arrive. It's a beautiful lodge in a fabulous setting and we all came home feeling refreshed and relaxed and wishing we'd booked for a week instead of a weekend!

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay but sorry the upstair bedroom was a disappointment. It is the first time since we altered the bedroom to include an ensuite bathroom in 2012 that anyone has found it a problem as it is such a spacious room but low at the sides. We do point this out on our web site but perhaps we need some up to date photographs as well. The height is 6ft 4 inches in the middle. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Again, many thanks and we hope you will be back again.

What more can I say but already booking for next years visit which will be our 6th time so that should really say it all.
Excellent holiday. Lodge has everything you could want. We only leave the lodge while we are there to feed the pig and all the other animals. Hot tubbing at night in the snow an experience. We go back to our work so relaxed.

This was our third time staying in The Buchanan.
We return because it is in a beautiful location and the lodge itself is also beautiful, spotlessly clean and extremely well stocked.
The hot tub is amazing and is also very well maintained.
The farm animals are good fun and this time we had the added enjoyment of being visited by some deer and pheasant!
We will return again!

Excellent stay had by all. Lodge was spotless and comfortable. Showers were brilliant. Breakfast food, milk, bread, coffee and cleaning products all left for our use. This was a nice surprise although we didn't expect this as it says on the website there would be a charge and so we purchased most of this before arriving at the lodge and it was wasted. The lodge had a Christmas tree and lights up for our arrival which was lovely. The only thing we found frustrating was that check in was at 4 but check out was as early as 10am. We had to leave the property tidy as we found it and pack to go home yet had to be out as early as 10am.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we are glad you have an excellent stay. Apologies if you found the web site confusing, but the Welcome Breakfast Baskets are as they say, "welcome" and therefore complimentary. There is absolutely no charge. We do offer a choice of menu in case there is something you particularly don't like but again, no charge. Our prices are inclusive of everything you would need for a self catering holiday and more. In line with most other self catering properties, we need a 10.00 am check out to turn everything round by 4.00 pm check in. As you said everything was spotless, but this does take time and an excellent team to do this. We do hope to be able to welcome you back to Airhouses at some time in the future.

We booked at short notice due to personal circumstances. We were not at all disappointed, the lodge was excellent and every conceivable need was catered for. The hot tub was simply amazing despite the poor weather.
The lodge was immaculate, clean, warm and well appointed and the hosts extremely helpful. The location is on a working farm, but there was no machinery noise nor any of the usual aromas. For children, and some softie adults there are animals to feed, a very large pig and two smaller ones who eat up all the scraps, Shetland ponies and a lama, as well as two alpaca.
Overall a brilliant place to stay: the five stars are well deserved! No expense has been spared in the design or preparation of this holiday home!

This is our second stay at the Buchanan, we are a family of four including a 10 and 17 year old, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, kids loved the hot tub and our youngest loved all of the animals. Location is excellent for our needs, cabin is very spacious and very comfortable. Views are great, plenty to do for all.
I am sure we will return in the future
Thanks to Carol and Martin for another enjoyable break.

Absolutley perfect! The lodge itself was spot on. Not one thing to fault! 3 spacious bedrooms, lovely bathrooms and beautiful views! Hot tub was the icing on the cake! A little bit pricer than most lodges for the weekend but once there it was easily justifiable! Will be returning in the near future!
Thanks for the great hospitality... And also the butter!

The lodge remains very comfortable, well equipped & spotlessly clean.
The hot tub is very well maintained, the water being checked twice daily.
Location is ideal for peace, quietness and a completely relaxing break and the animals are great fun.

The location was stunning, lovely views from the lodge and the ponies,pig and alpacas were an extra attraction. There were lovely walks round the farm and it was very peaceful and beautifully kept.

The lodge was fantastic, very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The Welcome Hamper and extras were amazing. The hot tub was checked twice everyday and was always at the right temp.
Everyone was very helpful and friendly at Airhouses. We all enjoyed our stay very much and it is the best self catering lodge we have stayed in. Would recommend it and will book again.

Our stay in the Buchanan Lodge at Airhouses exceeded expectations. We have stayed in a number of lodges over the years but none have been so well maintained and equipped as this. The views from the lodge are amazing, especially while relaxing in the hot tub. Our two kids loved the animals they could pet and feed. This holiday was the best of both worlds for us as a family; beautiful, relaxing lodges within easy driving distance of all the attractions that Edinburgh has to offer. Fantastic holiday!

Breathtaking views,great location for touring the Borders,relaxing hot tub and very comfortable lodge.
Well equipped with everything you could possibly require and more!
The welcome pack on arrival was really appreciated.
The Careframill Lodge hotel 5 minute drive served great food all day, light bites to full meals.
We preordered a couple of meals with Airhouses and they were waiting for us in the freezer.
The standard was excellent (surpasses M&S and Waitrose)in terms of quality.
I would highly recommend this service.
In short we will return and that is the best compliment I could pay!

I can't fault this place. Perfect: position, equipment, hot tub, views, customer service, beds (from an insomniac!!). It was also all the little things: groceries in fridge, plenty of crockery etc, shower gels etc, treasure trails for kids and adults, ponies and a not so small pig. Looking forward to returning one day.

I can't fault this place. Perfect: position, equipment, hot tub, views, customer service, beds (from an insomniac!!). It was also all the little things: groceries in fridge, plenty of crockery etc, shower gels etc, treasure trails for kids and adults, ponies and a not so small pig. Looking forward to returning one day.

We stayed in the Buchanan over the recent bank holiday weekend with another family. Wow what a place everything was perfect, the lodge itself was beautiful, every item you could think of was available and it was exceptionally clean. The view was amazing and the hot tub went down well with everyone! Beds were comfy and the facilities were fantastic. The children loved the upstairs room. I cannot praise Airhouses enough, we will without doubt be back.

The Buchanan was an excellent choice for my girlfriends and I to have our annual gathering. It was spotless and done to a very high standard - enough to please four discerning ladies, which is something! We loved the walks and the animals equally and would recommend anyone to stay here with no hesitation.

This is our second time at this lodge ( and not our last ) and I must say again this lodge is Perfect. Carol and Martin make you most welcome and the Buchanan is five star. My three grandchildren love the hot tub and animals. We have stayed in a few lodges with hot tubs in Scotland but this is the very best that we have stayed in. I would Highly Recommend Airhouses to friends and have done so.

Absolutely loved our time staying in the Buchanan. The lodge is beautiful with amazing scenery and the hot tub is pretty cool.
We loved the animals and loved that we could feed the alpacas and ponies.
We came here for a short break to de-stress after our wedding and didn't want to come home - it was perfect.
Mr and Mrs Houghton were lovely and very helpful.
We highly recommend Airhouses and will definitely be returning.
