Archerfield House – East Lothian, Scotland

Intro

Where 550 acres of storied Scottish coastline meet two world-class links, every training session feels like a scene from Braveheart—only with better greens and a luxury spa to finish your cooldown.

Unique sport-friendly assets (and why they matter)

Two championship links (Dirleton & Fidra) – firm, fast turf plus awe-inspiring sea views sharpen course-management skills for golfers of every level.

High-tech Performance Centre – GEARS 3-D biomechanics, tour-level coaching and an indoor simulator keep practice data-driven even when Scottish weather turns.

On-site 10 km & trail loops – mixed-terrain routes over woodland, sand and gravel let runners log quality miles without leaving the estate.

E-bike hire & coastal cycling hub – Ezee Riders HQ at the Walled Garden opens up the John Muir Way and 40 mi + of scenic roads for recovery spins or full-day tours.

Private tennis court at the Boathouse – perfect for light agility work between rounds or family rally sessions.
