Thirlestane Castle sits below the former Royal Burgh of Lauder in the Borders of Scotland & looks out onto exceptional views over the parkland & estate.  Days can be spent exploring the sprawling estate with endless options for outdoor activities. Guests can also relax across five separate apartments in the Castle before reconvening as a group in the panelled room and state drawing room. Award winning chefs can be arranged to cater during a stay whilst traditional story tellers regale with their folk tales & legends.

At each Masterpiece Estate you will be welcomed by an engaging host, an expert in both the house and the area. This is your guide, your companion, the person who can advise you on activities and arrange each personalised day to your liking, as well as entertain you and your guests with tales of the extraordinary estate that is your home for the duration of your stay.
