About this house rental
Relax in the 1.5 acres of manicured gardens, take a walk along the River Tweed (world famous for its Salmon fishing), visit the many historic towns, or simply stay in reading or playing games with the family - Maplehurst House provides the perfect space for family gatherings, celebrations or for those simply wanting to explore and breathe that wonderful Scottish air!
This magnificent B-listed Edwardian Arts & Crafts house is nestled amidst meticulously landscaped grounds, with stunning original features including solid oak panelling, stained-glass windows and open fires throughout.
Perfectly situated for exploring the borders region of Scotland, this luxurious period home is located directly on the Southern Upland Way, so walkers, hikers and bikers will be in heaven. Sleeping 16 in eight spacious ensuite bedrooms, gather friends, family and your dogs (and cats!) together for a holiday to remember. Nestled in a peaceful, private position, children and pups will love exploring the 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens and playing hide and seek amongst the cherry, maple and apple trees in the enclosed orchard. The 20x35m orchard also providing an enclosed area for dogs to play in without fear of escape.
Beautiful traditional features blend effortlessly with contemporary touches within this magnificent property, with the stained-glass windows, grand staircase and oak panelling creating a country property of elegance and character. Superbly designed with large groups in mind, the games room (with pool table, table tennis, darts and a variety of traditional board games), the large reception hall and extra seating areas on the first and second floors provide ample space for everyone to spread out.
Patio doors in the dining room lead to the south-facing garden where you can enjoy the croquet lawn (set provided) overlooked by a large seating area in front of the house. Open fires in the reception hall, games room and lounge give ample space for everyone to grab a seat in front of the crackling flames for a cosy night in. Gather for meals in the dining room (seating up to 16 adults), where patio doors lead directly out to the wonderful, landscaped gardens for after dinner drinks. At the end of the day, return to warm your toes against the AGA, before enjoying some friendly competition with your fellow guests.
A successful blend of tradition and quirk has been created in the bedrooms, with patterned wallpaper and soft furnishings a backdrop to vintage furniture. Seven of the bedrooms boast TVs, ideal for a bit of privacy on lazy mornings and cosy evenings, and all eight bedrooms having ensuites makes life easy for large, mixed-age family groups. The bathrooms retain the same character but with a modern touch. A long soak in the master bedroom's freestanding bath being a daily event that should not be missed!
Approached by a winding, private drive which leads to a gravel turning circle to the front of the house, the spectacular landscaped gardens are surrounded by rolling, green fields. Start your day with a coffee on the substantial terrace, a glorious setting for al fresco dining morning, noon and night. In the evening, take your dinner to the summer house and watch the kids potter about on the croquet lawn, or play amongst the trees and rhododendrons in the orchard. There is ample off-road private parking, and the village is within walking distance which includes ample shops, pubs and restaurants.

The house was huge, clean, and a joy to stay in. We had 12 people in for a songwriting retreat and everyone was thrilled. Would definitely recommend!

The house was perfect for our multi-generational family vacation. The children (2-5 years old) loved the yard and game room, and the adults got the game room to themselves when the children went to bed. The grounds are lovely and well maintained and the house is very comfortable. Martin, our host, was very responsive. We did not rent cars, so we used a tour company for day trips and also used taxis for nearby destinations. Thank you Martin!

Fantastic property. 16 of us for a family birthday. Lots of different spaces so we werent on top of each other all the time. The teens really enjoyed the games room. It was also great having all of us round the huge dining table. Location is ideal so we walked in to Galashiels and also in to tweedbank , no need to get in the car.
