MaplehurstMAPLEHURST GUEST HOUSE

Maplehurst, a unique Grade II listed house, was commissioned in 1904 by Andrew Fairgrieve of Galashiels for his Canadian wife, Carrie. This warmly welcoming Scottish built home melds delightful Canadian Art Deco features into its Arts & Crafts design.

The house has retained many of its original features including the tapestry wall covering in the reception hall. Also notable are its stained glass windows and oak floors and panelling.

Maplehurst is secluded in a large and pleasant garden that features forty-five listed trees, many of them Canadian species, along with massed plantings of Rhododendrons that create a glorious display in early summer.

Elegantly refurbished to harmonise with the original features, the accommodation includes modern comforts and the ambience of the Arts and Crafts era.

KNOCKDERRY HOUSE

The original house dating from around the mid-nineteenth century was considerably smaller than the present building. The major extensions by William Leiper in the last decade of the century added considerably both to
its size and to its architectural interest. The work, commissioned by the then owner, wealthy Glasgow wool merchant Anderson, gave Leiper an opportunity to flex his creative muscle in the glorious concoction of turrets, balconies, dormer and bay windows, and to complement the original stone so effectively with half-timbering that the architectural unity of the building is never in doubt.

For the interior decoration a unique mix of talented designers, namely Daniel Cottier, J. Gordon Guthrie, Jekyll and Leiper himself, was responsible for the very fine examples of stained glass, woodwork, and fireplaces we see today.

Skirling House was designed in 1908 by the Arts and Crafts architect Ramsay Traquair for Lord Carmichael. It became his country retreat and contained the family's art collection which included a magnificent 16th century Florentine carved ceiling in the Drawing Room. Today, this grand carving is an often remarked upon feature as guests relax in the drawing room. The Arts and Craft movement is evident throughout Skirling House. Beautiful ornate wrought ironwork and decorative carvings add individuality and distinction to this friendly house. The character and style of the original house endure whilst ensuring guests enjoy the high levels of comfort they may expect of a luxury retreat.

GRAVETYE MANOR

William Robinson, one of the great gardeners of all time, bought the manor and the thousand acres in which it stands in 1884, and it was his home until he died, well into his nineties, in 1935. It was at Gravetye that he realised many of his ideas for the creation of the English natural garden, of which he was the pioneer. The variety and charm of the arrangement of trees and shrubs, the landscaping and the layout of the different types of garden at Gravetye is still his creation and memorial.

THE BARN HOTEL

Designed by Edward Prior, architect for Major Weatherall, it is thought to be one of the most important houses of its time in Europe. It was to cost over £7,000, no mean sum for a modest dwelling of that time. Burnt down in 1905, rebuilt soon afterwards, it largely retains its character. Listed grade II, it is an example of the Arts and Crafts Movement's influence on architectural design. It had developed from the Art Workers Guild founded in 1884. The guild was the craftsman's protest against Victorian influences, especially the growth of industrialisation, It grew to embrace not only architecture, but furniture, wall papers (William Morris papers are reproduced today), glass painting, pottery, woodcarving, metalwork and typography.
