About this property

Aikwood Tower is a 500-year-old, grade A listed property, restored and renovated in sumptuous contemporary style. Steeped in history and set in a stunning landscape, this unique property will create a warm and welcoming holiday to remember.

Once the home of the infamous Border Reivers as they protected “The debatable lands” between Scotland and England, Aikwood Tower has seen plenty of history and adventure through the centuries. Now it’s yours to enjoy. Step through the west door in the sheer, rugged walls and you’ll be amazed by the contrasting interior, with five-star interiors and contemporary boutique accommodation. The roaring great hall fire is the centre point, while each of the five bedrooms is filled with luxuries, including sumptuous Duxiana beds and their own individual en-suites.

The local landscape offers some of the finest walking, cycling, shooting, fishing and horse riding in Scotland. At the heart of the Scottish Borders, the tower is surrounded by rolling hills, woodland trails and the Ettrick and Yarrow Valleys. Once you’ve explored, you’ll be able to relax in the comfort of the great hall and even take advantage of the services of a private chef available for guests. If you enjoy the great outdoors, you’ll be enchanted by a stay at this most magical of holiday properties.

A range of concierge services are available to book including a private chef, booking activities prior to arrival and online shopping deliveries. Please speak to our bookings advisor at the time of booking for more details.

Aikwood Tower is 500 years old and so there are parts of the building that require extra care to be taken, such as: stone spiral staircase, some steps are uneven and there is a steepish turn to the top bedroom. Low doorways in the mezzanine walkway to the television room and first floor bedroom. There are some uneven flagstones on the garden terrace.

Garden furniture. Wooden wendy house, summer house with outdoor games. Weber barbecue. A hot tub is available upon request.

    Good service from RR. It was what we were expecting. Good welcome hamper! The owner communication was excellent including a thank you for leaving it tidy and for writing in the books. We all enjoyed the holiday and we were lucky with the weather.
