Reviews for Airhouses

Some Comments from Guests:

Airhouses is a hidden gem for those with a taste for luxury in tranquil surroundings. Breathtaking scenery and absolute peace and quiet! Having stayed in countless lodges over the years Airhouses have redefined our expectations of 5 * lodge accommodation.
David and Sandra Wallace - The Lamont Lodge

This was the third time we have stayed at Airhouses, and it keeps getting better. From the initial online booking: to arrival and throughout the holiday Carol and Martin deliver this truly unique and luxurious product with seamless efficiency. We have stayed in both the Lamont and Ramsay lodges which both surpass the boutique hotels on offer in Edinburgh. We have stayed at Airhouses as a short break for just myself and my wife, with our parents and most recently with our two young children, there is something for everyone here, my daughter loved all of the animals, and getting to walk one of the ponies was truly her highlight! We have already booked for next year, cannot recommend Airhouses enough!!
Chris Hall, The Ramsay Lodge

The Buchanan Lodge was the perfect venue for my business trip, but I could see that my family would love it as much. Ideally located for Edinburgh and touring the Borders, the accommodation was excellent throughout with a great bed, great shower and the most wonderful breakfast basket of quality ingredients left for breakfast. I didn't have a moment to jump in the hot tub, but I can imagine watching the sun setting down the valley with a glass or two would be the perfect end to the day.
Andy Woodward CEO, Farm Stay UK

Having tried various other lodges with hot tubs throughout Scotland, Airhouses is the only lodge that we frequently return to. This is a view held by ourselves and our adult children. It offers exceptional high quality surroundings in a tranquil area of beauty allowing us to relax and recharge our batteries. There is no doubt that we will be returning!
Pauline Hanlon, The Buchanan Lodge

l honestly did not want to leave.....l don't think l have ever stayed anywhere where l felt that our needs were met so completely...everything had been thought of....the lodges were clean and warm and equipped to an exceptionally high standard...the welcome hamper of food was delicious and wonderful quality...the robes, slippers and extra towels for the hot tub were an added luxury that we also appreciated, along with the book shelves, movies, relaxing music and board games for the children..we will definitely be back for more!!
Andrew and Tracy Todd, The Lamont Lodge

Six of us stayed at The Lamont and had the most wonderful time. The Lodge had everything you needed and more. It was clean, warm, well furnished and well equipped. The setting is breathtaking and the hot tub was the most wonderful way to relax for an hour in the evening. We were all hot tub novices and did not think it would live up to the hype, boy were we wrong, it was fabulous. It was a pleasure to stay in accommodation where the owner's obviously care about their clients. The extra touches were much appreciated, the hamper, fruit, toiletries, robes and slippers all just added to the quality of the accommodation. Last but not least, the animals (think we bought all the carrots in Lauder). The ponies were adorable, the alpacas stand offish and the pigs were just hilarious (hope you check the fence regularly)because the way they run at it makes us think they will crash through it one day!!!!!!  We will be back.
Catherine Shepherd, The Lamont Lodge 

The Lamont Lodge was fantastic and all the little touches , the food, fresh fruit, coffee machine and coffee, shower gels and shampoos made this feel like staying in a 5 star hotel not a self catering lodge. Hot tub was a lovely warm retreat on a cold October evening. Plenty of DVDs and books to keep you amused and enjoyed our daily trips to feed the animals. Best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Elaine Muircroft, The Lamont Lodge

Wow what a wonderful 5 star lodge in an excellent location.  Every window we looked out of had a breathtaking view of the wonderful countryside. The kitchen was so well equipped that we were happy to spend most nights in cooking as you had everything we needed and didn't feel the need to leave the farm. The generosity of the welcome pack was second to none, we still couldn't make our way through all the items over 7 nights.  It was exciting to get up each morning and decide what to feed the pigs and the shetland ponies. The hot tub at night was my favourite as the non light pollution made the viewing of the stars excellent.  Thank you for making us feel so welcomed.  We can truly say that after our holiday  we are very relaxed and look forward to returning to one of your beautiful lodges soon.

Sandra Fleary, The Ramsay Lodge

From beginning to end our stay was most enjoyable and would have no hesitation in recommending Airhouses. There was great attention paid to every last detail to ensure our stay was pleasurable. We were shown good hospitality and nothing was too much trouble.

The hot tub was amazing and got up extra early(6am!!!) the day we left to take one last dip and look over the breath taking hill views. Our welcome food pack was generous and tasty, and would recommend to turn up at your Lodge hungry as it cooks up as quite a plateful! Altogether a lovely, idyllic, setting to relax, unwind, and enjoy what the area has to offer.

Lisa Marshall, The Lodge

Airhouses and The Lamont lived up to every review we had read before arriving.

The setting was fabulous with amazing views from the lodge, it was so peaceful and private.  The Hot Tub was lovely and sitting in that during the day and in the dark was just bliss!!! We had great weather too.

Both me and my husband and our two children (14 and 12) thought it was one of the best weeks we have ever had.

We will definitely return and have already given rave reviews to family and friends.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Karen Birch, The Lamont Lodge

A new experience for us with total tranquillity throughout our stay. The food pack in the fridge on our arrival was valued and the produce was excellent.  We were impressed by the twice daily maintenance of the hot tub. The cleanliness throughout our accommodation would put most hotels to shame. We got the impression that Carol and Martin made every effort to ensure their guests would be hard pressed to find fault during their stay.  Keep up the good work

Tom & Karen - The Lodge

Fantastic Lodge of outstanding quality in amazing surroundings.  Can't wait to return, lots to still see and do in the area.

Terry and Kerry Fawcett, The Ramsay Lodge

Last min relaxing get away.. Totally Impressed with Airhouses and the Quality of lodges. The hot tub was selling point to this as I've now decided you cant beat relaxing in a hottub outside with pint of magners and amazing views it offers. The welcome pack within the fridge was also 100%.  I will be Booking up again In future. Just the place if you want to get away for few days and relax.

Only flaw is fact the Hot tub Is 350kg and can't fit in boot of my Civic...... maybe next time Airhouses... 

Neil McPhee, The Lodge 

We stayed at airhouses for a quiet break as my husband works away from home a lot and it's not always easy to get time together. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The lodge was amazing. Immaculate with everything you could possibly need. The setting of the lodges is gorgeous. Relaxing in the hot tub in the most gorgeous countryside was a great experience. We have been to log cabins before but i can honestly say, airhouses stands out by a long shot. I would recommend them highly to anyone who wants a luxurious break with all the personal touches that make it a home from home. We can't wait to come back
Sharon Mitchell, Ramsay Lodge

We found The Lodge to be even more luxurious and well equipped than expected. It was very cosy despite some cold evenings and being in the hot tub when snowing was a highlight. The views were much more impressive than the photos on the website would lead you to believe and the surrounding area is of outstanding natural beauty.  I wouldn't hesitate to book again and am already looking to see when I can come back this year ! A fantastic way to holiday in Scotland. 
Dominic Fernandez-Ares, The Lodge

Our third visit so far, and each time we fall in love with the Lamont and location a little more!  Keep up the good work - we'll be back soon!!!

Gary and Chantelle, The Lamont Lodge

We were really impressed with the Ramsay lodge. The kitchen was great, everything you could possibly need for a week, from making a fry up with the fresh local products in the welcome basket to cooking up a storm in the evenings (with a dishwasher to do the hard work afterwards)! The beds were very comfortable and in addition to the 'fresh country air' they made for a great nights sleep. Both bathrooms/wetrooms were luxurious - the heated flooring was great and the power shower was amazing especially after a dip in the hot tub! The beautiful views of the surrounding countryside added to the relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be returning
Faye Parsons, The Ramsay Lodge

From the moment we arrived and until the moment we left, Martin and Carol could not do enough for us to make our stay with them as perfect as possible.  The Lodge was well above anything we expected and the facilities provided had been very carefully chosen.

Quite simply, to be situated at the heart of a working farm with stunning scenery framed from the lodge window and warming sunsets to watch at the end of the day, I defy anyone to come away anything but relaxed.  Don't contemplate a stay, book it.

Darren and Lena Ledson
 

An unbelievable experience in superb quality accommodation in beautiful surroundings.  The entire event was managed from beginning to end by a most efficient, friendly and delightful couple whose number one priority was customer satisfaction. Worth every penny.

Fiona Lloyd

We had an absolutely fantastic time in the Buchanan lodge. The views, the cabin, the hot tub. It was all beautiful and comfortable. Not only was everything thoughtfully provided but the standard and finish, superb! We'll definitely return for some r&r!

Andrea Hall

Our stay was fantastic , the lodge had everything we needed. The welcome basket was a great touch and greatly appreciated.  The hot tub was amazing even in oct. the break was a surprise for my partner and he loved it.  Carol and Martin could not have been more friendly. We only stay about an hr n a half away but felt like we were a million miles from home. Can't recommend it highly enough.

Nicola Marshall

It was very relaxing and i was very impressed with The Lodge. It was a surprise for Mike's birthday! The hot tub was an added bonus. I have recommended it too friends and family. I thought   the hamper in the fridge, the fruit, robes and all the finishing touches were very thoughtful and made it that extra but special.  Thank you!

Laura Spence and Mike Hunter

We enjoyed a very relaxing, fun-filled trip at airhouses in the Lamont and Buchanan lodges. The lodges were first class and extremely well equipped. The farm was charming, it was great fun feeding the pigs! We loved the hot tubs and Carol very kindly catered for our requirements, ensuring there was enough glassware and crockery in one lodge for our party. All in all, a fabulous weekend. I will certainly recommend airhouses to friends and family.

Janine Bird, The Buchanan and Lamont

Fantastic weeks holiday - will definitely return. (maybe for our honeymoon!!)) The lodge was exceptional - all the extra little touches were really impressive.

The view from the lodge was superb and the whole holiday relaxing.

Hot tub was perfect way to unwind and watch the wildlife and scenery.- with a glass of wine.

Even caught a glimpse of two deer running over the track as we came back in on our last  night.

FANTASTIC week did not want to leave.

Nicola Mercer, The Ramsay Lodge 

We stayed in The Lodge for 4 nights in April, and can honestly say that we loved every minute of it.  It is the best equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, and the hot tub made our stay so relaxing.  Even when the weather was bleak and cold, we were still able to enjoy the hot tub as it was maintained brilliantly and was always ready for us to use it!  We also loved the ponies and pigs and felt like the location was perfect for the ultimate relaxing break - just what we needed.  We will definitely be making it a regular event on our calendar and will be recommending it to our friends and family"
Sarah Smythe, The Lodge

I just love to come to the Airhouse Lodges.  They are a real treat and have something for everyone.  Although only 20 miles from Edinburgh- you really feel that you have escaped the city. The hot tubs are fantastic and the lodges are really well supplied.  It is lovely to feed the pigs and to go for a walk around the farms.

I would recommend this place to anyone who needs to get away and feel that they have been pampered!
Lorraine McGuigan, The Buchanan Lodge
 

We have just returned from another visit to Airhouses.  We have stayed twice now, firstly in the Lodge for my husbands 40th birthday.  We loved it so much that we were desperate to come back for another visit.  I think that these lodges are far superior than any 5* hotel I have stayed in.  You have all the facilities of a hotel without anyone bothering you to get out of your room to make up beds etc. If your looking for luxury at an affordable cost then Airhouses are for you.

On our recent visit we decided to bring our children along with another couple and their children.  So we stayed at the Buchanan Lodge.  As before everything that could have been done to make our stay as pleasurable as possible was.  We had enough space for everyone so we didn't feel on top of one and other.  We all had separate bathrooms with plenty of fresh towels and toiletries for all.

Both adults and kids were well catered for with plenty of games and books.  Everything that could be thought of was! The children especially loved the upstairs bedroom, a little haven away from adults where they happily played before retiring for the evening.  On our first evening we went for dinner to The Lodge at Cafraemill, about five mins drive from Airhouses.  We were very impressed, the staff were fantastic and very accommodating to our children.  There was eight of us, which is really enough to put anyone off, but they couldn't have been anymore helpful than they were.  

Fiona Cogan, The Buchanan Lodge

"Had a fantastic few days break. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and the stunning views from the the Ramsay lodge. The lodge itself is very well equipped and has everything you could possibly need. We had done quite a lot of walking around the area and the hot tub was just what we needed for those aches and pains! All in all it was first class. Will definitely be back"
Lisa Rumgay, The Ramsay Lodge

"We have just spent a glorious week at the Lamont Lodge in February. The booking was simple, arranging groceries easy, the greeting from Martin and Carol welcoming, the lodge and view stunning! We couldn't have been happier on the farm with views of rolling hills, feeding the horses and pigs each morning, seeing hares, deer and cows in the adjoining fields. The hot tub was sensational and a little treat at the end of our long tiring days exploring the Borders and nearby Edinburgh. Thank you to Carol and Martin for providing this comfort. Well done on creating accommodation that we can't find fault with". 

Rae Lee, the Lamont Lodge

"We had a fantastic weekend in The Lodge.  No complaints about anything. Every detail was thought about from the hairdryer, to the breakfast pack. We feel that nothing needs to be improved, it was perfect in everyway scenic, peaceful, relaxing and romantic! Look forward to returning soon! Thank you very much"

Craig and Siobhan Lamont

"You have a little piece of heaven on earth. We enjoyed a fabulous family weekend celebrating my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. It was a relaxing  weekend, from the early morning dip in the hot tub enjoying the wonderful views to the lovely walks down the country lane. Thank you so much for allowing us the pleasure of the Buchanan lodge, we hope to become regulars"

Karen Moyes

"The Buchanan is a lovely spacious and modern lodge set in beautiful surroundings.  There are many additions which add to the stay such as extra towels for the hot tub, robes and slippers.  The owners have thought of everything that a person could want and are extremely accommodating, from clear directions to the airhouses to being towed on and off the farm on a very snowy week! They also helped to arranged flowers for a Valentines day gift.  We definitely recommend and will be returning." 

 The Oliver Family, The Buchanan Lodge

"The Lamont more than exceeded our expectations, both in size and decor, and being excellently equipped with absolutely everything catered for and clearly no expense spared. The view from the lodge was phenomenal, and the surroundings were so peaceful that we really didn't want to leave! The location was perfectly situated for easy access in to local towns and cities, making this the perfect week away for family's or couples alike. Truly worth its 5* accommodation rating".
Zoe Green, The Lamont Lodge

"We shall definitely come back, your friendliness, the ambience, peace and quiet, view, proximity to Edinburgh and general facilities, layout and furnishings were marvellous. We will also recommend you to friends and consider your facilities for Group business meetings when it is appropriate. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
Jan Trevalyan, the Buchanan Lodge

"We had such a wonderful time, we really could not fault Airhouses. The lodges were perfect, really modern with everything you would need - a real 'home from home' and they are set in the most beautiful countryside. We will certainly be booking again...and bringing friends with us next time!"
Joanne and Ian Fuell

"My partner and I were most impressed with the time spent in The Ramsay. The accommodation was first class comfort with style. We were not interested in a dynamic break and found exactly what we were looking for with Airhouses. The lodge was 5 star, right down to the champagne on arrival. The location was set beautifully, to truly capture the Scottish hills and peaceful with no disruption. The lodge contained all of the amenities you would need for Self Catering and more and we will gladly recommend them plus visit again most definitely. We were settled in nicely then left to ourselves to really benefit from a 5 star relaxing break."

Amanda Robinson

"We booked over the New Year period, and had a fantastic time despite the best attempts of the weather! Hot tub-ing in the rain is a definite must.  The lodges themselves are luxurious and relaxing and we have recommended them to all of our friends.  The surrounding area was very peaceful and tranquil, with stunning views.  We would love to come back at any time of the year."
Heather Linnie

"We were 8 adults enjoying a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of family life. The lodge exceeded our expectations, beautiful, clean and containing lots of lovely extras that made all the difference, e.g. bathrobes, slippers, lovely fluffy towels, and additional towels for the hot tub. The welcome pack was wonderful as too was the full fruit bowl! 
The best part of our weekend was the hot tub. Lazing around with a glass of wine in the tub, whilst outside it was really cold.  The scenery is just spectacular, we enjoyed our walk, but unfortunately the snow storm meant we had to rush back, arriving soaked through. The hot tub beckoned and a sense of wellbeing returned. 
We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Black Bull in Lauder on the Saturday night, and some of the group even got to watch football on Sky Sports on the Sunday lunchtime at the village pub (within walking distance).  Thank you."
Debbie Richardson, Cumbria

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Airhouses, and will not hesitate to recommend it to family and friends, and I'm sure we will return as well. The location is superb with wonderful views - best enjoyed from the hot tub! All the little details helped to make a relaxing stay, even down to the slippers provided! We have holidayed in many places throughout the UK but this is definitely the nicest accommodation we have stayed in."
Suzanne Ross

"Our stay was excellent.  The lodge was of a very high standard with all amenities present one would need for a self catering stay.  With beautiful views over the hills, a cosy lodge and a hot tub on the decking this is a great place to relax and spend time with your loved ones.  We had a great time and would highly recommend".
Shane Jones

"had a great time!!!! it was everything we hoped for and more!!!! very scenic, peaceful, relaxing and romantic!!!!"
Bernadette Lewis

'relaxing, secluded, romantic, cozy, BRILLIANT!!! - looking forward to another visit'
Margaret Haddock

Stayed over the New Year period and had a wonderfully relaxing break.  Weather was good so enjoyed walks in the quiet countryside.  Found our Lodge to be very comfortable and well equipped to a high standard.  We loved the hot tub.  Would definitely recommend to others and hope to return " 

Ewan Grant

The lodge is excellent and has everything you could possibly want in a self-catering accommodation. It was the most relaxing few days away we have had for years. The absence of "civilisation" noise is what I am after and we certainly had lots of it: just wind, weather, birds - fantastic!   Best of all had to be the hot tub  Nothing better than to wind down in the evening with a glass of wine. 

Nadin Dunnigan

"We loved our stay at the Buchanan lodge and thoroughly enjoyed your farm, the surrounding countryside and the quaint town of Oxton.  We especially liked that we could easily walk into town on the back road from your farm.  We also had a great time petting and talking to the horses.  It's a beautiful view, even at night when the lights of Oxton shine in the hills.  The lodge was very comfortable and the 3 1/2 baths made it exceptional.  Lots of room to spread out -the roomy couches in the great room and 8-seat dining table made relaxation very pleasant.  We were also so surprised and appreciated so much the Christmas tree and the thoughtful presents.  These things really made us feel at home- all the way from Ohio!"
