With the thriving city of Edinburgh just 25 miles away, it makes it the perfect choice for your next Scottish group getaway. Lovingly refurbished in 2020, Leuchie (pronounced 'Lou-ki') Walled Garden offers a blend of modern and classical and is ideal for a family occasion, a couple's retreat, or even a wedding or business event.

The mid-Century modern house is located in its own private and secluded five acre walled garden, meaning you have plenty of space outside to spread out and enjoy the sunshine when the weather is warm. The property's main rooms feature large windows that overlook this garden, ensuring the property has lovely views and is filled with plenty of natural light.

The modern building has a cool sixties feel, with carefully chosen furnishings and design flourishes throughout. The accommodation, which is all on one level, features a unique collection of antique furniture and 18th Century family paintings that have been collected by the Dalrymple family.

The large living room features comfy sofas that sit around a working fireplace. This is a lovely spot to sit with a glass of wine, socialising around the fireplace with your family & friends. This space also has a door that takes you out onto the patio garden. The brand new kitchen/breakfast room has enough seating for 12, ensuring you have space to all sit and enjoy a casual breakfast together.

The house is eco-friendly, making use of modern environmental technology with ground source heating and superb insulation. And there are also three open fires and a plentiful supply of logs from the surrounding woods.

As the name suggests, the most striking feature of this property is the magnificent walled garden. Built 200 years ago by Napoleonic prisoners of war, the garden encloses the house and acts as a wonderful sun trap in summer. You have total privacy and can relax on the lawn, play tennis on the newly refurbished court or outdoor games such as croquet or boules. Indoors you'll find two games rooms with snooker table, dart board and table tennis.

Guests can also pick flowers, fruit and vegetables when in season from the kitchen garden. There is even a two hole pitching range for enthusiastic golfers.

North Berwick Golf Trip
5-star option for eight gents golfing in East Lothian. Beautiful home, unbelievable property, easy communication with host, great chef options for dinner. This is a first-class option for two foursomes playing in the North Berwick area if four gents are willing to share a room as there are six bedrooms.

Family Reunion
Do not hesitate to stay here .. I am a well travelled consumer and rarely as pleased with accommodations as I was with Leuchie House. This is an exceptionally beautiful property, well maintained, well stocked for every need and very comfortable. We were family from Australia , Canada and UK and thoroughly enjoyed all the games and outdoor areas for soccer etc. it’s a very short drive into town for groceries and supplies and North Berwick is lovely. Hew is a very communicative host and provides all the information you need to enjoy your stay. Stay longer then you plan to .. its worth it.

Christmas Stay
A lovely country house for a large family Christmas. With people flying in from around the world it was a perfect environment with lots of room in a very well appointed house which was nicely decorated for the festive season by the hosts.

Birthday House Party With Firends
This was an amazing experience. The house is spectacular but comfortable, the garden is a dream and the hosts could not have been more accommodating. There were 8 of us (plus two dogs) and there was room to spare—We all had wonderful accommodations both for sleeping and for reading, relaxing and playing games (all together as well as in small groups). The kitchen space was well fitted out and roomy with two distinct working areas and 3 cookers (including an AGA). The bathrooms were plentiful and modern, everything worked and the property was immaculate. As for the location—the property could not be better sited. Half an hour to Edinburgh by train, a short walk or drive into North Berwick (a charming town with great shopping and restaurants), lots of golfing and hiking options with lots of great day trip options. Wonderful experience! Thank you Hew and Jamie for sharing your home with us.

Leuchie
We are perfectionists who own and live in wonderful homes in Chicago, San Francisco, Boston and Naples. We recommend Leuchie without hesitation. Leuchie’s spaces are generous, inside and out, and the home is beautifully decorated, carefully blending mid-century modern and Scottish manor home styles. Each bedroom is unique and light-filled, and boasts world-class mattresses, pillows and linens. The showers and sinks and fittings throughout are of the highest quality and a pleasure to touch and use, as are the plentiful plush towels. The public rooms — the kitchen with adjoining eating area and family room, the dining room and the gorgeous living room — will accommodate everyone in your party while also providing many quiet nooks for an individual’s peace and quiet. All rooms are generously opened to the landscape by huge windows, filling the spaces with light and framing beautiful views. The undisputed star of this wonderful show is the enormous walled garden that realizes what everyone imagines as the perfectly balanced Scottish garden. The home is secluded amongst the verdant pastures of East Lothian, only five minutes outside of North Berwick, and fifteen from Gullane, both villages boasting some of the world’s finest golf courses, as well as numerous top-notch restaurants and eateries. Communications and arrangements are made with the ancestral owners of the estate and could not have been more timely and spot-on, from start to finish. Excellence all around!

Scotland Golf Trip
My friends and i couldn't have scripted a better finish to our 17 day trip. The home and property are so beautiful. We were able to enjoy a nice day of golf, come home and cook a meal thanks to the beautiful kitchens then relax and enjoy about just any type of gaming you could ask for. Great atmosphere for fellowship. Jim Moyer
