Thank you for visiting our website which will give you a flavour of what we offer at Crookston and help you plan what we hope will be a memorable stay with us.
Crookston is very much a family home and it is into that atmosphere that we welcome our guests. It is a place to relax and take a step back from the hectic world we live in. Unwind amidst the historic yet intimate ambiance of the house. Stroll along the paths in the extensive 47 acres of gardens and grounds, soaking up the fabulous natural surroundings. For those who are keen to explore, we are perfectly placed for both the Borders and the bright lights of Edinburgh. Enjoy a tasty home-cooked two or three course dinner here if you want to save yourself a drive or if you are keen to dine-out we will assist you with any dinner reservations.
We trust you will find all the relevant information you need here on the website but if you have any queries prior to booking with us, please just drop us a line. We hope you will choose to visit us and if you do, we really look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive.
“Crookston House was built by my family, the Borthwick’s, in 1816 and it has remained in the family’s ownership since then. My husband, Malcolm, and I moved here in 2014, when we took over the running of the house from my parents, John and Adelaide. They now live in an apartment on the lower ground floor, and you are likely to bump into them gardening if you spend time in the grounds! Our two boys, Fred and Will, a menage of dogs, a ginger cat and a brood of hens, who provide your breakfast eggs, may also introduce themselves to you at some point during your stay.”

Our glamping huts are the latest addition to the Crookston House & Estate offering. These are located adjacent to the grounds of the house and consist of two bespoke shepherd’s huts, The Resting House and Hodge Cairn, each separate and secluded and enjoying wonderful views out over the stunning surrounding countryside.
