About this property

East Lothian Estate boasts a grand country house, charming lodge and breath-taking grounds and gardens, all located near the town of North Berwick in East Lothian, Scotland. The house was originally built in the 17th century and has been a family home ever since. The entire property has been extensively renovated and restored to its former glory, creating a stunning, one-of-a-kind location for holidays, events and celebrations!

This impressive estate is set within one thousand acres of beautiful countryside, with pristine gardens, enchanting woodlands, and farmland stretching out in every direction. Surrounded by rolling hills, with stunning views in every direction, it really feels like an escape from the world. Whether it is family barbecues, drink receptions, or simply an afternoon stroll around the hedgerows and rose gardens, these immaculately maintained grounds will take your breath away! The house itself sits magnificently in the landscape as a wonderful example of Georgian architecture, with elegant proportions and classical details that make the whole house feel enchanting.

Inside, the house is equally impressive. The grand entrance hall sets the tone for the rest of the house, with its marble flooring and sweeping staircase. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, with period features such as ornate plasterwork and carved woodwork that add allure to every corner of this magnificent home. The house also boasts a range of modern amenities that have been carefully weaved into the charm and character of old, including a fully equipped kitchen, a games room, and a cinema room.

East Lothian Estate is a popular venue for weddings, corporate events, and other special occasions. The house has a variety of event spaces, including a ballroom, a drawing room, and a dining room, all of which can be configured to suit the needs of the event and each of which is as impressive as the last. The house also has ten luxurious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, so even in a large group you can all enjoy your own privacy and quiet moments alone.

Just a short distance from the main house, you will find the charming Lothian Lodge, a three-bedroom property which can accommodate a further six guests. With elegant French garden doors, a charming kitchen and social living area, this self-contained lodge offers the perfect bit of privacy for some of your guests, yet still with a stones throw of the main house.  

This magnificent country estate offers a unique blend of historic elegance and modern comfort. Its beautiful surroundings and luxurious amenities make it a truly special place to stay or to host a celebration that you and your guests will never forget!

    I recently had the pleasure of spending a weekend at the East Lothian Estate, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the elegance and charm of this historic property. The manor's beautiful architecture, combined with its serene surroundings, provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I could not help but feel like we were about to embark on a journey into the noble past with a touch of class and aristocracy. Each room had its own private bathroom, the bedrooms were all clean, the grounds were impeccably maintained. A special thank you to the staff, specifically Susie, you made our stay pleasant and comfortable. Overall, a spectacular experience for all occasions. Highly recommend!

    East Lothian Estate is an absolutely beautiful venue for any event. The house is stunning, each bedroom carefully curated for a luxurious stay. It feels like a family home, giving guests the ability to use all the shared areas as their own. It's definitely a step above a classic Scottish country home, it has been renovated to be incredibly comfortable and warm (with a group of Italians, this was a must!). We were lucky enough to be there for a sunny weekend in June and were able to make the most of the gorgeous grounds, use the golf driving range and outdoor games. The Laundry House space is perfect for a celebration - it gave us everything we needed. Thank you to everyone at East Lothian Estate for making it an incredible weekend.
