We stayed at Heathfield with our dog for a week in early September 2025 and had a lovely stay. Being at the end of a farm track the cottage is quite remote but at the same time we felt so relaxed there and enjoyed the open aspect and the feeling of being amongst nature. There was no WiFi in the cottage but we were able to get a good 4G connection just outside of the cottage and so we certainly did not feel out of touch. The nearest village, Denholm, was a lovely place with a general store, a butcher, a pub and two cafes. There were lovely walks near the cottage and we also enjoyed visiting some of the nearby towns in the borders. We particularly liked Kelso, Melrose, Peebles and Jedburgh.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Heathfield is a beautiful cottage in gorgeous countryside and is well equipped and comfortable. We received a warm welcome from the owner on arrival together with some delicious treats. The cottage is extremely well situated for visiting the Scottish Border towns and villages. The additional bonus of allowing us to bring our dogs made our holiday a very happy one.
