Cringletie★★★★

Inspector comments
"Impressive country house with beautiful architecture."
Overview
Cringletie House was designed by famous Scottish architect David Bryce, and completed in 1861. Something like a real-life fairytale castle, it has distinctive, small towers at the corners of the top floor, and a painted ceiling in the drawing room. Bedrooms are elegant and luxurious, in keeping with their setting. The restaurant offers unpretentious food, prepared using the finest local and seasonal ingredients; a fresh approach to fine dining in the Scottish Borders. But, the real charm here is the effortless hospitality provided by the friendliest of teams, displaying real warmth and enthusiasm.

About the area
Southern Scotland is often referred to as the Lowlands, to distinguish it from the mountainous grandeur of the North-West Highlands. But don’t be fooled by the description.
