A beautifully presented rural hideaway set in a charming garden with superb views over rolling parkland.

The picture-perfect rural cottage, Lane Cottage sits within an enclosed country garden flanked by mature trees that form part of the woodland, parkland and acclaimed gardens of the impressive Bughtrig Estate. With the historic Bughtrig house at its heart, the beautifully maintained estate is just a short drive from the town of Coldstream, on the banks of the River Tweed.

Lane Cottage, the former butler’s residence, has benefited from an extensive renovation and now serves as a spacious three-bedroom holiday home. Inspired, perhaps, by the cottage’s verdant surroundings, touches of green are found virtually everywhere in this sophisticated property, from the full-length sage green curtains in the fire warmed sitting room and delicate apple green tones of a bedroom to the topiary plants dotted around the open plan kitchen, dining and living area. The large, light-filled kitchen boasts all-new appliances and a lengthy worktop, which doubles up as a breakfast bar. Together with a circular dining table and inviting sofa, this convivial space leads out to the front garden and invariably forms the heart of the home.

The high-end finish of the ground floor continues upstairs, where three spacious en suite bedrooms are decorated with designer wallpapers and fabrics, and feature sumptuous beds complete with feather and down mattress toppers and smart Carrera marble and travertine bathrooms.

The exquisite interiors can be attributed to the owners of Bughtrig, Will and Natasha Ramsay. A name that will be instantly familiar to those with an interest in art, Ramsay’s beautiful Georgian home and estate serve as an intriguing cache of artworks collected over the course of his life. In addition to designer lamps, vases and pieces of furniture you will, therefore, discover a carefully curated collection of original artworks in Lane Cottage.

Picket gates lead out from the cottage onto estate walks, with guests free to explore Bughtrig’s celebrated gardens, discovering its intimate hedged gardens; beautifully restored greenhouses, complete with old roses clambering at their feet and contemporary sculptures within; and the 246-foot-long Grass Walk, a lush carpet of lawn flanked by colourful herbaceous borders. Dotted amongst the gardens, which open to the public as part of Scotland’s Open Garden Scheme, are diverse sculptures, including a bronze of Vice-Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, who masterminded the naval forces contribution to the Dunkirk evacuation and D-Day landings during World War 2.

In addition to access to the formal gardens, guests staying at Lane Cottage can use the tennis court and summer gardens by prior arrangement with the owners and enjoy a number of superb walks from the doorstep. The pretty village of Leitholm, complete with pub, is about ten minutes’ walk away while the more extensive amenities of the historic town of Coldstream are a ten-minute drive from the cottage.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together but enjoy their own space, Lane Cottage can be let in conjunction with Wood Cottage sleeping 4, Bughtrig Cottage sleeping 4, and East Lodge sleeping 4. Lane Cottage, Wood Cottageand East Lodge all sit in the grounds of Bughtrig Estate, while Bughtrig Cottage is a 10 minute walk away on the edge of Leitholm village.

The Coldstream Gallery is a lovely spot to browse art, ceramics and jewellery by local designers; or pop into Calico Interiors for lifestyle gifts and accessories before coffee and cake at the charmingly named ‘Mad Hatter’ nearby.

The Little Things We Love

The gardens and grounds of the wider Bughtrig estate are a wonderfully tranquil spot for rest and relaxation.

Don't take our word for it...

Thankyou we had a lovely week at Lane Cottage, beautiful house, very quiet setting and we instantly felt at home, very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed a game of tennis on Sunday morning but my personal highlight was walking our dog in the morning around the estate and village. We saw hares, rabbits, squirrels and even deer which was a real surprise. The enclosed front garden was great for our dog, safe space for her to chase her ball around while we relaxed with a cup of tea at the end of busy days exploring. Our favourite place was Coldingham bay where we managed to surf and walk to St Abbs as well as enjoy the beach. Thankyou for your excellent service everything went very smoothly.
Ms Taylor, 20th March 2024
