Blackhouse Forest Estate

About Blackhouse Forest Estate

Blackhouse Forest Estate is an eco-friendly lodge and estate set in over 1,000 acres of truly breath-taking scenery, woodland and heather hills of the Yarrow Valley in the Scottish Borders.

Our off grid location boasts the most incredible dark sky nights with privacy and seclusion 4 miles from the main road, yet easily accessible from Scotland's main airports and transport links.

The stylish and comfortable lodge itself sleeps up to 10 guests for staycations, retreats or even bootcamps! There's a wealth of space outdoors with a barn, swedish bbq lodge, lochan and fire pit area. We can curate experiences for guests who seek both adventure and/or relaxation. We realise that sometimes the weather can’t always be relied upon, so we have brought the outside in with our modern glass atrium, a space which forges connection to the natural world on our doorstep.

The area surrounding the estate is steeped in myth and legend once forming part of the great Ettrick Forest where Scotland's King hunted deer and also home to writer James Hogg (The Ettrick Shepherd).
