Burnies Lodge — A Private Woodland Retreat in the Scottish Borders

Set within nearly two acres of pristine native woodland, Burnies Lodge offers an exceptional blend of natural beauty and contemporary craftsmanship. Hidden from view and framed by mature trees, this newly built lodge features a generous covered veranda overlooking a dramatic gorge and its gently running stream — an idyllic setting for complete peace and solitude.

Inside, the lodge combines rustic charm with thoughtful, modern design. A well-appointed kitchen, four-ring gas cooker, and waterless toilet provide practical comfort, while the lounge and mezzanine sleeping area create a warm and intimate atmosphere. A multi-fuel stove ensures the space remains cosy, even in the coldest Scottish winter.

Double-glazed bifold doors open onto an elevated deck, drawing the outdoors in and framing serene views through the woodland to the gorge below.

Sustainable systems power and supply the lodge: a state-of-the-art Ecoflow Delta Max battery delivers 240-volt electricity to multiple sockets and lights, the propane-fuelled cooker provides reliable cooking, and rainwater harvesting with a pumped supply serving the kitchen.

The surrounding woodland is a haven for wildlife. Roe deer, badgers, Tawny owls, and countless native bird species make regular appearances, while in summer, the glades come alive with butterflies and the gentle hum of bumblebees.

Burnie’s Lodge is more than a woodland hideaway — it is a place to recharge and immerse yourself in the quiet beauty of nature.
