About this property

East Lothian Estate boasts a grand country house, charming lodge and breath-taking grounds and gardens, all located near the town of North Berwick in East Lothian, Scotland. The house was originally built in the 17th century and has been a family home ever since. The entire property has been extensively renovated and restored to its former glory, creating a stunning, one-of-a-kind location for holidays, events and celebrations!

This impressive estate is set within one thousand acres of beautiful countryside, with pristine gardens, enchanting woodlands, and farmland stretching out in every direction. Surrounded by rolling hills, with stunning views in every direction, it really feels like an escape from the world. Whether it is family barbecues, drink receptions, or simply an afternoon stroll around the hedgerows and rose gardens, these immaculately maintained grounds will take your breath away! The house itself sits magnificently in the landscape as a wonderful example of Georgian architecture, with elegant proportions and classical details that make the whole house feel enchanting.

Inside, the house is equally impressive. The grand entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, with its marble flooring and sweeping staircase. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, with period features such as ornate plasterwork and carved woodwork that add allure to every corner of this magnificent home. The house also boasts a range of modern amenities that have been carefully weaved into the charm and character of old, including a fully equipped kitchen, a games room, and a cinema room.

East Lothian Estate is a popular venue for weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. The house has a variety of event spaces, including a ballroom, a drawing room, and a dining room, all of which can be configured to suit the needs of the event and each of which is as impressive as the last. The house also has ten luxurious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, so even in a large group you can all enjoy your own privacy and quiet moments alone.

Just a short distance from the main house, you will find the charming Lothian Lodge, a three-bedroom property which can accommodate a further six guests. With elegant French garden doors, a charming kitchen and social living area, this self-contained lodge offers the perfect bit of privacy for some of your guests, yet still with a stones throw of the main house.  

This magnificent country estate offers a unique blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. Its beautiful surroundings and luxurious amenities make it a truly special place to stay or to host a celebration that you and your guests will never forget!

    The property is a hidden delight nestled in the heart of beautiful East Lothian, yet highly accessible to historic Edinburgh and its associated national and international travel hubs with Edinburgh Airport under 45 mins away by road. To stay at East Lothian Estate is to step inside history itself, yet lose nothing in the way of modern convenience or luxury, with beautifully fitted accommodation, reception and lounge spaces. Outdoors, the grounds offer an immaculately maintained curated expanse to rest and unwind in - complete with croquet, golf and winding trails. We had a wonderful restful week at the house as a group of friends, exploring and enjoying the surrounds, warmly hosted by Graham and his team. A superb option whether for corporate, family and wedding. Thank you for having us!

    A stunning house in an ideal location just a short idyllic drive out of the bustle of Edinburgh. Only 10 minutes from Derm station and not far from local beaches, café and eateries if you fancy popping out. If you don’t, you’ve got everything you need on site including golf, croquet, pool table, ping pong table, places to run and walk, fire pit and outside seating area, BBQ, several rooms to dine in and a grand piano to boot. Enjoyed a fantastic nights sleep in a very comfy four poster bed as well as a luxurious soak in a roll top bathtub. What’s more the staff are incredibly kind. Memorable five star stay. Thank you so much for having us.
