Cottage in Scottish Borders

About this property

One of two delightful cottages sleeping four guests, offering a private hot tub. This property is situated on the owners farm in the Scottish borders, close to the Northumbrian border, and just seven miles from the bustling seaside town of Berwick upon Tweed.

This cottage is situated on the owner s farm close to the Northumbrian boarder, in an unspoilt, quiet part of the Scottish Boarders. The surrounding area is the perfect destination for those who like nothing better than spending time in nature, exploring the beauty of the local area. The coast is just six miles away, with the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, just a few miles to the south. A visit to Holy Island is a wonderful experience, as it is accessible only by tidal causeway, and, being home to just 160 residents, is an unspoilt natural habitat for an abundance of wildlife, as well as being a site of religious pilgrimage and historic interest. Beautiful St Abbs is a short drive away and offers some fantastic walks, a nature reserve and excellent diving. The Berwickshire coast is renowned for its abundance and diversity of marine wildlife. If you enjoy an adrenalin rush, highly recommended is the Eyemouth Rib boat trip. Within an hour s train journey are the cities of Edinburgh and Newcastle with their excellent shopping and leisure facilities. Mountain bikers and walkers are spoilt for choice with numerous country and coastal tracks to explore. This area is a golfers paradise and boasts numerous golf courses all within a short drive, The Roxburgh course is a real champion test and has hosted several top events. Both fishing and shooting is available locally and fishermen will be delighted with the famous river Tweed renowned for its excellent trout and salmon fishing. Kelso race course is a short drive away, it is a national hunt racecourse staging jumps racing from September through to May and hosts other events during the year. For a busier day out, head to Berwick upon Tweed, a bustling seaside town with a thriving arts scene, and a good range of shops and places to eat.
