Welcome to Auld Kirk House – Where History Meets Modern Luxury Nestled in the tranquil village of Westruther, in the heart of the glorious Scottish Borders, Auld Kirk House is a breathtaking luxury holiday let that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance. A remarkable church conversion, this unique property offers a truly unforgettable stay from the moment you arrive.
As you step inside, you’ll be immediately struck by the grandeur of the interior, where many of the church’s original features have been lovingly retained. Soaring vaulted ceilings, intricate stained glass windows, and the beautiful original staircase speak to the building’s storied past, while luxurious furnishings and high-end finishes provide every modern comfort.
The ground floor is the social heart of the home, offering a magnificent open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, with a large wood-burning stove, plush seating, and striking 6.5m wide patio doors that slide open to the private garden. The kitchen is fully equipped with every appliance you could wish for, alongside quality crockery and utensils for entertaining or casual family dining. Two ground-floor bedrooms, each with sleek en-suite shower rooms, offer style and convenience for guests with mobility in mind.
Upstairs, you’ll find three more sumptuous bedrooms, all with super king-size beds and beautifully appointed en-suite shower rooms. The master suite takes indulgence to another level, boasting a spacious bathroom complete with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and double sinks — ideal for unwinding in Yes style. Step outside into the private garden, where the luxurious hot tub awaits — the perfect place to soak under the stars after a day exploring the surrounding countryside.
The location of Auld Kirk House offers the best of both worlds: serene village life with easy access to the many attractions of the Scottish Borders, the beautiful Northumberland coastline and the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Edinburgh. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy walking, cycling, and fishing in the nearby Lammermuir Hills, or explore the region’s dramatic coastline and historic castles.
Melrose Abbey, Abbotsford House (home of Sir Walter Scott), and the charming market towns of Kelso and Lauder are all within easy reach. Golfers will find several excellent courses nearby, while foodies will love discovering the area’s fine restaurants, farm shops, and distilleries. Auld Kirk House is more than just a place to stay — it’s a destination in itself. Whether you’re planning a family gathering, a retreat with friends, or a romantic getaway, this stunning church conversion promises an unforgettable escape in one of Scotland’s most beautiful regions.
