Traquair House

Tourist attraction · Scottish Borders

"Reportedly Scotland’s oldest inhabited house, dating back to 1107 and visited by 27 Scottish kings and queens (including Mary Queen of Scots), this is a B&B with a difference. Here, peacocks parade across manicured lawns and fabulous maze gardens, there are martinis and croquet, and log fires crackle in panelled drawing rooms. Beautiful antiques grace the four stately bedrooms, complete with canopied beds. Best of all is the Blue Bedroom, which has views onto Cupid’s Garden, making it the perfect romantic retreat."
