The stone walls of Chrichton House hold centuries of quietness, the kind you notice most when you step outside in the morning and hear nothing but birdsong and the creak of old timber settling.
This is one for couples after a proper roof and a comfortable bed, or small families who want the ease of a guest house with the option of a camping pod if the kids fancy sleeping outside. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours. It's open all year, which makes it a solid winter bolthole when canvas won't cut it.
Inside you'll find classic guest house hospitality — breakfast sorted, no faffing with tent pegs in the rain. The pods offer a middle ground if you want that camping feel without fully committing to the elements. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, so have a word when you get there. The atmosphere's calm and old-school in the best way, the sort of place where you actually switch off for a night or two.
