Park End, Milne Graden
This charming gate lodge on the edge of the Milne Graden Estate sits on the border of Scotland and Northumberland, and is a captivating spot for getting back to nature and savouring the relaxed pace of country life.
During the summer, guests can enjoy the large, sunny garden with sunsets over the hills. In the cooler months, with the wood burner lit, a good film and a wee dram, you may find it difficult to leave!
Designed to reflect its countryside and woodland setting, the artwork above the fireplace - Ramsons and Campion by Scottish artist Angie Lewin - was the inspiration for the calming interior. Soft blues and pinks along with the warming touches of sisal rugs and linen contrast with the natural slate floor which has the added benefit of underfloor heating when the temperature starts to drop.
A comfortable super king bed will bring a little luxury to those weekend lie-ins, while premium products from Neom Organics will start you on your wellbeing journey.
The river holds a special place here, and picturesque riverside walks watching the morning wildlife gently come to life, or wandering flower-filled woodlands in spring will bring simple pleasures and lasting memories. Four-legged friends are equally sure to enjoy Milne Graden’s dedicated Tails of the Tweed dog park. The estate’s old walled garden has been transformed into a safe and secure off-lead space for your dogs to exercise and socialise. The park is also home to a variety of fun obstacles, including a seesaw, tunnel, and platform, so you and your pup can try your hand at agility.
