About this property

One of three traditional

farm cottages set on a family run working farm, surrounded by wildlife and

scenery. The cosy cottage with open fire sleeps 4 and is an ideal base for

exploring South of Scotland and Northumbria.

The

cottages stand on a ridge between the River Tweed and the Eden Water – a real

haven for wildlife and birds. Just two

miles downstream from the delightful town of Kelso, it is a great position for

exploring the Scottish Borders, South of Scotland and Northumberland. Kelso is regarded as one of the most

picturesque towns in Scotland. Sir Walter Scott certainly thought so, proclaiming

it “the most beautiful, if not the most romantic town in Scotland!” Edinburgh and Alnwick are only an hour away,

the beautiful Berwickshire and Northumberland coast, rolling Border hills and

charming Border towns, are all within easy reach along quiet country roads.

Set

on a family run working farm, the cottages stand in peaceful spots at the end

of their own lanes. The views stretch

for miles westerly to the Eildon Hills by Melrose, north to the foothills of

the Lammermuirs and south over the Tweed Valley to the Cheviot Hills in the

Northumberland National Park. The cottages

provide a peaceful spot to holiday, whether you are looking for a traditional

or contemporary retreat. There is an

abundance of wildlife around the farm, including otters by the waterside, deer

wandering around the woods and the silver flash of salmon in the Tweed. The flock of Grey Face ewes and small herd of

cows all play an important part in the everyday life at Hendersyde, many have

names and enjoy a scratch behind their ear!
