Boutique Hideaway in the Heart of Scotland’s Yarrow Valley

The Scullery at Ladhope Farmhouse – A Romantic Countryside Hideaway

Nestled deep in the Yarrow Valley of the Scottish Borders, The Scullery is a beautifully restored one-bedroom retreat set amid rolling hills and ancient woodland. Once the servants’ wing of an 1850 Victorian farmhouse, it now offers a boutique hideaway designed for comfort, calm, and connection – the perfect place to slow down and immerse yourself in nature.

The Scullery sits at the heart of one of the Duke of Buccleuch’s working farms, part of the Buccleuch estate. Ladhope Farmhouse was rebuilt in 1850 by the 5th Duke of Buccleuch, though records of the farm reach back to the 1600s, giving every stay a sense of timeless history.

Inside, rustic character meets modern comfort. Exposed stone walls and an original lime washed stair well, frame a space filled with vintage furnishings, soft textures, and warm tones. The bedroom features a king-size Victorian bed with a luxury wool mattress and crisp linens – the perfect setting for a cosy, romantic night.

A separate living room, with views up into the hills, invites you to curl up on the sofa with a book, a throw, or a film, while the ensuite bathroom brings modern design and convenience.

The pantry kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with high-quality appliances, a sleek granite countertop, and vintage touches like Spode china and brass fittings. Whether you’re brewing morning tea or enjoying supper, it’s a space designed for simple pleasures.

Step outside and discover a private courtyard garden. Enclosed by stone walls and chestnut fencing, it’s a peaceful pocket of greenery with space for coffee, reading, or stargazing under dark Borders skies. Just beyond, the Ladhope Burn flows past with its own little waterfall, adding a soothing soundtrack to your stay.
