Slackbrae at Brucefield Estate

We loved our stay at Slackbrae. The cottage was stunning. Large, beautifully renovated and decorated. The views from the cottage were stunning and we enjoyed walking around the estate, especially at night with the lanterns that are provided at the house. The welcome breakfast package was delicious. We used the park and ride to get into Edinburgh. It was easy and cheap but so nice to get back to the cottage in the evening. Dawid looked after us really well and responded quickly to any queries. He took us to see the bothies on the estate and they were amazing. I'd love to stay in those too.

What a wonderful weekend in a beautiful house and surroundings. Victoria and the team made sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, from showing us around on arrival, to explaining how things worked (the blinds, the airflow heating), to leaving us a tasty starter pack of essentials such as eggs, milk, butter, jams and granola plus the mint water lovely and cool in the fridge. The house is beautifully appointed and lacks for nothing.

Slackbrae is an exceptional property in a beautiful location, with the most incredible care from the property's owners. The surrounding estate is stunning and we very much enjoyed the guided nature walk. Highly, highly recommended. We look forward to returning.

There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe Brucefield Estate. From the moment we contacted Brucefield, Victoria and her team could not have been more helpful, going above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable, relaxing, and exactly what we were looking for. This was much more than a cottage rental for a weekend. The estate offered so much more to explore. Slackbrae is a beautifully renovated 18th century cottage on the estate. Bright, warm, stylishly and thoughtfully decorated, we wished it was our own. That masonry stove is a thing of wonder!

We had a lovely holiday at Slackbrae. The accommodation was beautiful and well designed, with many thoughtful touches - an impressive hamper including sourdough bread, homemade granola, and much much more, vases of wildflowers, use of a bbq/fire pit complete with skewers and giant marshmallows :). We also enjoyed an interesting tour of the Brucefield Estate learning about the local wildlife and history. Bikes were also provided to explore the surrounding area. We had a great time and would love to come back.

Conservation and sustainability lie at the core of Brucefield Estate. Slackbrae is a luxury eco-tourism hideaway that pays homage to sleek Scandi design using sustainable and local materials. Housed in a traditional 18th century former forester's cottage, Slackbrae is a wonderful juxtaposition of old and new with strong eco credentials and an abundance of natural light.
