The Scullery

Thoughtful Interiors & exceptional Comfort.


This self-contained space features private parking, its own entrance via a traditional stable door, and a cozy courtyard and cottage garden that overlooks the picturesque Ladhope Burn. From the soothing sound of its charming little waterfall to the tranquil views of the surrounding countryside, every detail invites you to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Steeped in history, Ladhope Farmhouse is believed to have been rebuilt in 1850 by the 5th Duke of Buccleuch and 7th Duke of Queensberry. Archaeological evidence suggests that a settlement may have existed here as far back as the Bronze Age. Once part of a working farm, the site included a Gamekeeper’s cottage, the main farmhouse, a farm cottage, and a steading, reflecting its roots in the grouse moors of the Buccleuch Estate.

The farmhouse and scullery sit amidst woodlands of native Scotch Pines and Oaks, alongside pastureland home to Black Faced Sheep and cattle. Wildlife is abundant, with Red Squirrels, Roe Deer, Voles, and Moles among the regular visitors. Birdwatchers will delight in spotting robins, finches, woodpeckers, owls, pheasants, grouse, and cuckoos, as well as birds of prey such as buzzards, merlins, hen harriers, short-eared owls, ravens, and even golden eagles. Along the rivers and wetlands, ducks, goosanders, moorhens, coots, and herons add to the rich biodiversity.
