Embrace the Art of Coorie at The Scullery at
Tucked away in the heart of the Yarrow Valley, The Scullery invites you to experience the true essence of Coorie — the Scottish way of finding comfort, warmth, and joy in life’s simplest moments. With its rich history, charming interiors, and breathtaking surroundings, this lovingly restored retreat offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and understated luxury.
Whether you’re longing for a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo escape, or simply a place to slow down and recharge, The Scullery welcomes you to breathe deeply, savour the beauty of the Scottish Borders, and embrace a slower pace of life.
Immerse yourself in the spectacular Yarrow Valley, where rolling hills and ancient woodlands meet tranquil rivers and vast open skies. The views stretch endlessly, inviting you to pause and take it all in. With the gentle hum of nature as your soundtrack and the crisp, clean air revitalising your spirit, this is the ultimate escape for those seeking peace and quiet.
A Place Steeped in History and Heart
Once the bustling scullery and servants’ quarters of Ladhope Farmhouse, this space has been lovingly restored to preserve its original character while introducing thoughtful modern comforts. Built in 1850 by the 5th Duke of Buccleuch and 7th Duke of Queensberry, the farmhouse whispers stories of the past, inviting you to step back in time while indulging in the luxuries of contemporary living.
A Private Courtyard with a Touch of Magic
Enclosed by chestnut cleft fencing and bordered with native hedging, your private courtyard offers a pocket of peace. Enjoy your morning coffee as the golden light filters through, or unwind with a glass of wine beneath the soft glow of the evening sky. The gentle sound of the Ladhope Burn, cascading into a waterfall nearby, completes the sense of serenity.

The burn winds its way through the farmhouse gardens and the newly planted Wood Pasture before joining the Yarrow Water — a soothing soundtrack to your countryside retreat.
Reconnect with Nature
Surrounded by Buccleuch Estate farmland, The Scullery offers easy access to open moorland, ancient cairns, and woodland trails. Nature thrives here. Keep an eye out for red squirrels darting through the trees, roe deer grazing in the distance, and an array of birdlife — from the call of the owls at dusk to the graceful glide of golden eagles above.
As night falls, the unspoiled skies of the Yarrow Valley provide a magnificent display of stars. Wrap yourself in a blanket, breathe in the crisp night air, and simply be.
Comforts and Thoughtful Touches
Step through the stable door and into a space designed for slow living. Every detail has been carefully curated to celebrate comfort — from luxurious textiles and antique furnishings to contemporary art and ambient lighting. Curl up on the plush sofa, catch up on your favourite shows with the smart TV, or disconnect entirely and enjoy the moment.
Full fibre Wifi is available, though perhaps The Scullery is where you’ll embrace a gentle digital detox.
A Kitchen for Simple Pleasures
The kitchen is both beautiful and practical, with a granite worktop in soft, muted tones, complemented by bronze ironware and a striking deVOL Aged Brass Ionian Tap. Prepare a leisurely breakfast, pour yourself a fresh coffee from Shoreditch roasters Grind, or whip up a simple supper using the Bosch oven and modern appliances. Afterward, let the dishwasher do the work while you relax.

Restful Nights Await
When it’s time to retreat to bed, sink into the luxurious Artisan mattress, crafted with natural materials including cotton, cashmere, silk, and British wool. Supported by hand-tied pocket springs, it promises a restful night’s sleep. Dressed in beautifully soft 'Piglet In Bed' linen, the Victorian bedstead is the ultimate invitation to relax, unwind, and embrace the comfort of
