Braeview Escapes | Luxury Glamping | Scotland
In a world that rarely slows down, escaping to the countryside isn’t just a luxury—it’s a form of self-care. At Braeview Escapes, tucked away in the peaceful Scottish Borders near Eyemouth, we believe nature offers more than a view—it offers healing. Our adult-only luxury glamping pods are designed for those who need to press pause and truly reset.
Why Nature is Good for Your Mental Health
Modern life is full of noise—notifications, traffic, constant mental chatter. We get so used to the hum of stress that we barely notice it anymore. But your nervous system does. Scientific studies have consistently shown that even small amounts of time spent in nature can significantly improve:
- Anxiety and stress levels
- Sleep quality and duration
- Mood and emotional wellbeing
- Cognitive function and focus
This isn’t just feel-good theory. It’s neuroscience backed by decades of research.
A Truly Peaceful Stay
At Braeview Escapes, peace isn’t a buzzword—it’s baked into everything we do. You won’t hear road noise or passing traffic. What you’ll hear is the sound of birdsong in the morning and the wind rustling through the grass.
Each pod is situated to make the most of our quiet, coastal location. Whether you’re having breakfast on your private deck, reading by the firepit, or soaking in your own private hot tub beneath a star-filled sky, every detail is designed to help you unwind.




Countryside Living, Coastal Benefits
While our pods offer a countryside escape, they’re also minutes away from the dramatic Berwickshire Coast Path, one of Scotland’s most beautiful coastal walking routes. Long walks by the sea, fresh salty air, and panoramic views help you feel grounded, relaxed, and more in tune with your surroundings.
It’s the perfect blend of seclusion and scenery. No pressure, no plan. Just space to breathe.
Real Rest—Body and Mind
When you strip away the noise, what’s left is clarity. Time away from screens, alarms, and endless notifications helps your nervous system regulate and allows your thoughts to settle. Whether you spend your stay journaling, meditating, walking, or just doing absolutely nothing—it’s all part of the healing process.
Our guests often say they sleep better here than anywhere else. That’s not surprising. Our luxury mattresses, warm underfloor heating, and the natural silence of the location help reset your sleep patterns and bring deeper rest.
A Place to Simply Be
We live in a culture that celebrates doing more, faster. But there’s power in slowing down. In doing less. In being rather than doing.
At Braeview Escapes, we’ve created an environment where you can do exactly that—no guilt, no pressure, just rest. Here, there’s time to rediscover what matters most: your wellbeing.
Come to the coast. Clear your mind. Feel like yourself again.
