Great base to explore the local area. Loved the shop and produce. The family enjoyed walking up to see the animals each morning. The hot tub was an extra bonus!

We had a wonderful family birthday celebration at Airhouses in the Buchanan. The location is beautiful and peaceful and the lodge has everything you need. The accomodation is kitted out with high quality fittings and furnishings whilst remaining very comfortable and relaxing. The hot tub was great fun and the children enjoyed feeding the animals, particularly the donkeys and Shetland ponies. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at the Buchanan in late July, early August. The cottage was perfect for our family of 6, including two small children and my in-laws. The views from the cottage are stunning, plenty of bathrooms, fun toy cottage for the kids and amazing grounds with animals. Everyone we met at the farm was incredibly friendly and kind. We enjoyed our time getting to know and feed the animals. The hot tub was also a favorite. We look forward to returning next year!

Stayed at The Buchanan Lodge over New Year. Well presented, clean and plenty of room for 6 adults. Great hot tub. Welcome bag of goodies on arrival. Kitchen well stocked. Loved watching the sun rise through full height windows. Helpful and pleasant owners, we will definitely be back !

Wonderful lodge in a super setting. Loved the animals on the farm, especially the donkeys which we could watch while dining in. Spacious and very well equipped, very cosy in the cooler days. Hot tub was huge and very well looked after. Had great fun at the Meet and Greet with the animals, especially the goats. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. The App before departure was a good idea, and contained all the info you needed before arrival saving time once we got there. This was our second visit but in a different lodge, and both were very well presented.

I don’t think we could have found a better holiday home. The children loved feeding the friendly farm animals, the adults loved the hot tub with incredible views and we all loved the charming lodge equipped with everything we needed and filled with comfortable and high end furniture and fittings. The location is great, easy access to Edinburgh while still being nestled in the countryside. The hosts were friendly and extremely helpful. I can’t recommend it enough - we are already planning to go back with our extended family. What a find.

We stayed in The Buchanan last week. I had been looking for a last minute hot tub place and we stretched the budget to book the Buchanan. I'm so glad we did. It was fabulous. Huge fluffy towels, super comfy beds, loads of room, a wonderful welcome pack and a massive hot tub. All surrounded by the most gorgeous countryside and the cutest animals on the farm. Everyone we spoke to was absolutely lovely and I honestly can't recommend enough. The only downside is that it's quite far from shops/restaurants however for us that wasnt an issue and we definitely would like to return. The house was so warm, clean and had everything we could need. We loved it.

We have spent Christmas at Airhouses many times, we have stayed in every lodge also the capercaillie. We had a fantastic time every single holiday. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. They can't do enough for you. All our children and Grandchildren love it. We are booked for next Christmas already. Can't wait

We thoroughly enjoyed our short break at Airhouses and wish it could have been longer. Having been disappointed by the standard of accommodation and surroundings of another (very expensive) self-catering lodge, we checked out early (something we have never done before) having frantically searched online for an alternative. Carol could not have been more responsive in getting our new accommodation booked for us. Upon arrival, we found a delightful bag of goodies and accommodation that is spacious and absolutely immaculate. The setting is incredible – if you're looking for peace and to feel that you've stepped off the hamster wheel of life for a while, this is the place for you. The lodge was so well-equipped – everything has been thought of here. Kids loved the hot tub (husband too – under the stars) and we enjoyed a couple of BBQs. Dogs enjoyed the treats and the field to run free. All told, our stay was absolutely perfect and our hosts were the ideal mix of checking in to make sure we were OK but also leaving us to relax. We aren't the kind of people to go to the same place twice (preferring to experience new things), but we'd return here in a heartbeat. Thank you Carol, Damian and team for such a wonderful short break.

We decided to take advantage of a very good discount and book a last minute weekend stay at The Buchanan. As usual everything was perfect and we were able to take advantage of the thoughtfully placed outside furniture as the weather was beautiful. After the amazing thunder and lightning storm, Damian came round the lodges to check everything was ok, very thoughtful! Our welcome bag we receive with delicious goodies is alway gratefully received. Thank you again to all the team at Airhouses !

The Buchanan Lodge accommodation is excellent. Very clean throughout and all rooms tastefully furnished. The welcome pack provided is not only very generous but also of top quality. The kitchen is very well equipped and the extra fridge/freezer in the store cupboard is a real plus. Great to have environmentally friendly products for cleaning and various bins/boxes for recycling. The hot tub is a real bonus and the daily checks in no way intrusive. There are various outdoor seating options and cushions and recliners are stored in the boiler room (a great place for drying swimwear etc. - with clothes rack provided). The honesty shop and pop up coffee shop are great facilities. Damian and family were always more than happy to help with questions abut the lodge, farm and further afield. Booking and subsequent communications were all processed speedily and efficiently. The Airhouses family team, deserve to be very proud of themselves, for providing such first class facilities in a very beautiful and peaceful environment.

Lovely and clean, everything you need only positive feedback would be an air fresher, a clock and hand soap at the kitchen sink. Lovely grounds, we didn’t manage to book a taxi to go for a meal and the price was quite high as we were rural (we stayed for an occasion so wanted to have a nice cooked meal) quite costly but a lovely getaway.

A beautiful, cosy, homely cottage with everything you need for a comfortable stay; house is immaculate throughout, a home from home. What an amazing place to stay! We loved the animals and how friendly they all were. Lots of lovely walks with the kids and our dog with the added pleasure of relaxing in the hot tub afterwards. Welcome pack was a lovely gesture. A special thanks to Damien for his help. Needless to say, our kids already want to come back. We will definitely be booking again!

Lovely lodge in a lovely location. The hot tub was excellent and well used by all of us. The pop up coffee shop is a great addition to the site as well as the on site shop. Little extras like the welcome hamper and dog welcome basket were appreciated.
