Alpnhaus — Your private Alpine sanctuary in the Scottish Borders

Alpnhaus — Your private Alpine sanctuary in the Scottish Borders

Hidden within the secluded 14th-century grounds of Singdean, Alpnhaus is a single, luxurious Alpine chalet for two — where you are the only guests.

Remote, refined, and entirely off-grid, this adult-only, dog-friendly retreat offers pure privacy and unspoiled natural beauty.

Inside, discover a warm, serene, luxury hideaway. Rich textures, natural materials, and soft, golden light create an atmosphere of effortless comfort and quiet indulgence.

Your private Wood-Fired Hot Tub. Outside your bedroom, your wood-fired hot tub awaits — freshly filled with pure Scottish spring water and overlooking spectacular views. We’ll heat it for you each evening so it’s ready by 6:00 pm, or you can light it yourself with the provided basket of logs.

As you relax under the open sky, you may spot deer, badgers, foxes, or owls in the surrounding woodland. And when the skies are clear, the Milky Way glows overhead — a truly magical sight.

Each morning, wake to a freshly prepared Alpine breakfast basket, placed discreetly at your door — the perfect beginning to another day of calm and connection.

Alpnhaus is more than a stay — it’s a sanctuary for body, mind, and soul.
