About The Capercaillie

The Capercaillie at airhouses is a stunning 5 bedroom property, that sleeps ten. 3 bedrooms are ensuite. Nestled amongst acres of organic farmland yet 45 mins from bustling Edinburgh you will feel a world away from everyday life. The house was purpose built for holiday accommodation with three master bedroom, all with dressing areas and all ensuite, and two further bedrooms that share a family bathroom. It boasts two gathering spaces downstairs, a garden room that opens to a decking with the huge ten seater hot tub and a sumptuous living area that joins a dining area, with a 10 seater oak table and a modern kitchen where you can cook up a brilliant foodie feast. If BBQ's are more your thing, just head out the doors from the kitchen to the hobbit style BBQ hut in the garden.

The Capercaillie sits at the head of the farm overlooking stunning open views to the hill tops beyond. Super cute and friendly animals graze in the fields near by including our pet alpacas, donkeys, goat, sheep, sheltand ponies, horses and pigs. They all love a chat and a tickle!

Further afield on the farm you will find fenced walks, shetland cattle and our highland cow apple! We also have a play den for under 7's, a willow den and mud kitchen and a kids treasure trail or for you to use for free. We also have a small farm shop, a selection of high quality freezer food and a pop up cafe serving delicious locally roasted artisan coffee and fabulous hot chocolates and milkshakes!

There is huge amounts to see and do in the borders, great places to eat and shop for foodies, including farmers markets. Wonderful history from abbeys, castle to inhabited historic houses. Or for the outdoor lover, fabulous cycle ways, walks, wild swimming and fishing. Here on the farm we also have an abundance of wildlife. You are very likely to spot roe deer, hares, foxes and buzzards and hopefully the barn owls, badgers, our stoats and kestrel. You can enhance and personalise your stay by heading to our Enhance Your Stay menus and selecting from pre-orders drinks, spa treatments in your property, deli boxes, Ebike hire and much more!

We are also Multi-Dog friendly.

Location (Scottish Borders)

"We booked the Capercaillie for our family weekend away, the house had everything you could ask for and fantastic quality the surrondings are stunning. We had kids aged 1-7 and my 83 year old mum and there was something for everybody to do. Kids loved the meet and greet the animals with Damian and the hot tub was fantastic with great views. We ordered butchers packs for the BBQ and the meat was amazing. We spent sat night in the BBQ hut as a family. Highly Recommend." Guest August 2024 from UpFront Reviews
