Wedderlie House, which is situated between Duns and Lauder, has been subject to a million-pound refurbishment by local tradesmen, with a further £200,000 redevelopment still to complete.

Set on a private sixty acre estate with multiple outbuildings, including cottages and stables, Wedderlie House was acquired by husband and wife team Jamie and Connie Raine-Fraser only last year.

Investing several million pounds into refurbishing Wedderlie House into a modern and luxurious venue, the couple has created what they believe is one of Scotland’s most exciting new destinations.

The additional redevelopment will take place over the summer, as the Raine-Frasers roll out their business plan to create an additional 140-seater wedding venue out of the estate’s stable block.

Currently undergoing a full redevelopment, this venue will launch summer 2020, offering its own dance area, bar, ceremony room, and two-bedroom apartment above. Extra accommodation will be added to the Wedderlie portfolio in the coming months in the form of cosy cabins for couples and small families, complementing the existing accommodation choices.

Jamie Raine-Fraser said: “After a great deal of very hard work around this beautiful estate, and in the House itself, by a number of local tradesmen, we are delighted to officially open for bookings here at Wedderlie House.

“We are extremely excited about what we have on offer here, and can’t wait to start welcoming guests. This is an amazing opportunity for my wife and I to diversify into a second business in a vibrant sector. We fully intend to embrace it, feeling privileged to have acquired what is a very unique property in a superb location, just thirty five miles from the capital.”
