About this property

Positioned on a quiet rural lane at the end of its own private driveway, surrounded by rolling green pastures, is this detached farmer's cottage with fabulous views over the Cheviot Hills but only 5 minutes from the A68. You are completely surrounded by nature on a working farm, with the nearest amenities being a 15-minute drive away in the historic town of Jedburgh and 20-minutes drive from Kelso and Hawick. Simply park up outside, unpack your bags and feel completely relaxed in a natural setting. It is ideal for couples or a family of four, offering a large king-size bed with zip-and-link beds and a double room upstairs, giving you options for sleeping arrangements. They each come with bedside tables, curtains and ample storage space, making you feel right at home. Back downstairs is the bathroom, with a shower over the bath tub and heated towel rail, tied together with a neutral choice of décor. The lounge offers a lovely cosy feel, with a beamed ceiling and a charming woodburner set within a stone surround. Crack open a bottle of wine, stream your favourite movies on the Smart TV and fully relax away your time surrounded by the warmth of your loved ones. Cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen and get together around the dining table arranged pleasantly in the middle of the room. Discuss your plans for the day ahead or simply opt to do nothing but unwind in this tranquil setting. The driveway outside, runs right around the properties' perimeter, allowing you to drive in and out without reversing. There is a large garden with peaceful views over the countryside and a picnic bench at which to soak up the Scottish sunshine with a drink. A farm tour can be arranged if you would like to see what we do down at the farm. Head out in the car to Jedburgh, where you will find a plethora of shops, pubs and award-winning restaurants. One of Jedburgh's many cycle routes is nearby. Visit Jedburgh Castle, the abbey and Mary Queen of Scot's House. There is also fantastic fishing and golf to be enjoyed as well as walking and cycling. A superb getaway in a delightful region of Scotland. Note: This property can be booked with Falla Farmhouse (Ref. 985476), together sleeping up to ten people. EPC Rating: Band F

  • Julie

    Really cosy cottage, very comfortable beds and probably the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever known in a holiday rental. Reclining sofas in the lounge were great to chill on. The owners, Wendy and Willie are there if you need them but never instrusive, I’d definitely recommend.

  • Robert

    The location is peaceful and relaxing. The owners were welcoming and very helpful. Just perfect.

  • Andrew

    A very well equipped, private and comfortable cottage with sheep as close neighbours. The owners were on hand if required and they took time to check in with me to make sure everything was okay as well as leaving a few welcome presents. I've been visiting lodges and cottages for a few years now and this was one of my better choices and would certainly go back.
