Brand new: Scottish Glamping – the only Roulotte site in the UK

One Off Places is thrilled to announce the launch of Roulotte Retreat, a cluster of French hand crafted Romany-style caravans, set in a landscaped meadow in the Scottish borders.   Surrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of nature, this is a place to just ‘be’ – where you can enjoy a different pace of life.

Pure Scottish Romance

 

 

 

 

 

 

Roulotte Retreat is an enchanting getaway, romantic, relaxing and restorative. The roulottes themselves have the real ‘wow’ factor, with exquisite quirky interiors and colourful furnishings and fabrics, and the owners have enhanced the already beautiful natural surroundings by planting more native trees, shrubs and wildflowers.

Decadent interiors

 

 

 

 

 

 

The roulottes are made just for two, and their chic interiors with salon and boudoir make them perfect for romantic hideaways. Adorned with chaise longues, silk curtains and velvet throws, you can expect a unique and decadent stay.

Tabitha Symonds, co-founder and director of oneoffplaces.co.uk, said of this brand new addition to the portfolio; ` If you want to escape the humdrum of your day to day life, reconnect with nature, and experience something truly authentic and rejuvenating, then this is the place.`

The retreat is nestled beneath trees on a small private estate near the legendary Eildon Hills in the Scottish Borders. The breathtaking scenery makes this ideal walking countryside, and St. Cuthbert’s Way long distance footpath meanders nearby. Woodlands, streams, waterfalls and hills complete the surrounding beautiful landscape – it’s easy to see why writers and painters find this part of the world so inspiring.

Prices from £90 per night (2 night minimum stay).
