So many people have told us what their favourite features are, and it’s good to hear that there are a lot of favourites.

Many of our guests have enjoyed sitting out on the deck just enjoying the peace and quiet.

But don’t take our word for it… see for yourself.

Looking for a dog friendly getaway? 🐶

Just 45mins from Merklands Wood is Crawick Multiverse. The 55-acre former open cast coal mine is an idyllic location to take in the land art installation whilst also getting some fresh air.

At our luxury lodges we love accommodating your furry family members, offering goodie bags to any pets added to your booking.

The mornings are dark and the sun is in hiding but we’re secretly glad as it means not feeling guilty about snuggling in next to the wood burning stove and slow walks in the private woodland of Merklands Wood. Come check out the views for yourself. 🍂

Another local business we collaborate with is the wonderful .

Our complimentary gin is hand crafted for us by the award-winning team at Pentland Hills Gin (who have been awarded the Scottish Gin of the Year 2022) with the added sweet and fresh flavour from the juniper berries grown here in Merklands Wood.

You can’t beat a gin and tonic sat by the wood burning stove on a dark and cold evening 🥰

Here at Merklands Wood Luxury Lodges, we strive to collaborate with local businesses. Over the next few posts, we’d like to share some with you.

We know how important it is to take our dogs on holiday with us which is why we know how important it is for you to take your dogs with you on holiday.

That’s why both the Luxury lodges here in the Merklands Wood are pet friendly. All our 4 legged guests get their own welcome basket 🧺

Our regular followers and our guests know that we are big supporters of the saving wildcats project but we have come here to the Spanish Pyrenees to an area where we have been reliably informed that we could see some European Wildcats in the wild 😜

How do you think Little Lizzie and Little Rua will react to that 🤣🤣🤣

Here in the Merklands Wood we feel privileged to live in such a beautiful place. The hills and countryside provide fantastic walking and cycling opportunities straight from the door of our Luxury Lodges yet we are only 30 minutes from Edinburgh City Centre.

You could be enjoying them as well, why not check our booking page and see if your dates are free, link in bio

The Merklands Wood sits in the upper reaches of the Tweed Valley which caters for just about every activity that you can think of.

Many active opportunities for the die hard adventurers to family friendly days out. It’s all just a short drive away.

Wearing a bobble hat while wild swimming is of course optional.

Check your dates on our booking calendar and see when you can come to this World Class destination.

We had the fantastic crew from come stay with us recently.

They run the most beautiful period cottage properties in the Peak District. They are very different to the Luxury Lodges here in the Merklands Wood.

Why not try a two centre break and experience the contrast for yourself.

Hard to believe that it was a year ago Little Rua was born. She is all grown up, taller than her mother and twice the trouble.

She loves to run around the Merklands Wood. With 20 acres of private, secluded and secure woodland it is the perfect place to bring your dog on holiday.

“PERFECT”

How better to describe your stay in the Luxury Lodges here in the Merklands Wood.

A French family came to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary and their 1 year old granddaughter’s birthday left us this fantastic review.

As they were French we excuse the French seven 😂

Isn’t it time you tried out the experience that is available here in the Merklands Wood?

Catching the late summer early morning sunshine here in the Merklands Wood.

The girls love a good romp through the heather.

Don’t you just love the Scottish hills at this time of year?

Guests staying in our Luxury Lodges here in the Merklands Wood often ask about nearby beaches.

There are some fantastic beaches east of Edinburgh and on Sunday we visited seacliff beach about an hour’s drive away.

The beach itself is considered quite safe and quiet. It has the unique harbour carved out of the rock and of course the amazing backdrop of Tantallon Castle with stunning views out to the iconic Bass Rock.

There were sail boats, SUP boarding, sea kayaks, body boarding and even just some people swimming.

The dogs love the beach and Little Rua is a bit of a wave chaser.

Do you like to visit the beach when you are on holiday?

Thank you to all who took the time to send us your suggestions and recommendations for new boots.

We researched them all and decided on Altberg so a big thanks to

This is not an ad but we decided on them as they DON’T have Goretex, offer 5 width fittings and have a resoling service so a bit more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

True to form of course is that the ones we decided on aren’t available until the end of October so we have a lighter summer pair to tide us over.

This weekend’s weather has been a good baptism and happy to report that we have dry feet 🦶!

Let me know if you can use a pair of Scarpas, ideal as a fishing net, sieve or filter, really anything that requires free flowing water through fabric 🤣🤣🤣

Guests frequently tell us how fantastic our welcome baskets are and one guest even called it “insane”.

We try to source the best local Scottish produce.

In the welcome basket you will find a wedge of Corra Linn made by the fantastic cheese makers at
This cheese was awarded Scottish Cheese of the Year at the World Cheese awards.

Located 10 minutes away from the Luxury Lodges here in the Merklands Wood they offer tours of their farm and cheese production. With a cafe and farm shop, where you can taste the whole range of cheeses that they make, they are definitely worth a visit
