Welcome
Brucefield Estate is tucked away in semi-ancient woodlands with a rich wildlife and historic landscape, and unique ancestry.
To meet the increasing need for accessible yet remote locations to leave the world of 9 to 5 behind, even just for the weekend, we offer exquisitely designed contemporary Scottish accommodation that is also environmentally responsible. For up to four guests.
What do we mean by luxury eco-tourism? Stay with us and you'll find exquisitely designed contemporary interiors carefully selected from a range of Scottish designers. Externally, you'll find traditional, conservation materials to blend in with our historic setting. And a fabric-first approach with emphasizes build quality.
