The Kerr family continues to own and lovingly maintain the estate, ensuring that its rich history is preserved for future generat

I have been looking forward to staying in my ancestral castle even before it was and AirBnB. What a delightful, history-rich space. The accommodations are quite spacious and have everything you could possibly want. The grounds were immaculate. It was all so charming and homey. Beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the fires every night we were there. Ian is a delight to work with. We hope to go back! Belinda | |||

| Jarmila | Woodinville, Washington | None | 5 | July 2024 | An amazing location and home.- you won’t want to leave. You feel right at home and hope that the owners are going to walk-in and join you for a glass of wine. There was a lovely welcome basket with all kinds of goodies including milk and butter in the refrigerator. Leslie is quick to respond to any inquires we had and Ian was very helpful too. The home is spacious and was plenty big enough for 6 adults. Make sure to take the tour of the castle to get the history of the family. We would love to come back and stay again. | |||
| Audra | Fort Worth, Texas | None | 5 | July 2024 | Loved the Lothian Wing at Ferniehirst Castle! Both Leslie the booking agent and Ian the caretaker were absolutely wonderful - attentive, quick to responds and helpful. We stayed here so that we could participate and watch in the Jethart Festival (we are Kerr’s) and it was wonderful. The accommodations were perfect for our family and they even set up cots for the kids so they didn’t have to sleep on the couch. There was so much room for all of us - the kitchen is huge, the living room perform relax in the evenings with a wood-burning fireplace. If I could afford to travel to Scotland every year, this is the place I would stay. | Julia | July 2024 | Thank you so much for all your lovely kind words. we are both so happy you enjoyed your stayed at the Lothian Wing, Ferniehirst Castle and that you enjoyed the Jethart Festival. We hope you will come and visit again.Thank youKind regardsLesley & Ian |

| Kim | Lynchburg, Virginia | None | 5 | May 2024 | Staying at Ferniehirst was a wonderful experience. Ian, the friendly warden, was on site and gave us a lovely tour of the castle & family history. Sheep and cows are nearby, trails in the woods to a river overlook site are open to use - beautiful! This is so peaceful and hidden away in the quaint bustling town of Jedburgh. Great coffee house & shops are 5 minutes from the castle as well as Jedburgh Abbey and other sites of interest. We would love to return! | |||
