About this property
This charming former gamekeeper’s cottage is located on a working farm in an idyllic location at the foot of the lovely Lammermuir Hills, in the Scottish Borders. It serves as a tranquil sanctuary for families, couples or friends keen for a restorative holiday with up to two dogs. Its wonderful rural setting means you can easily access scenic farm tracks and take invigorating walks and mountain bike rides through gorgeous scenery.
Oozing with traditional charm inside and out, this sweet accommodation is decorated in a homely style with a warm colour scheme. Tasteful artwork and soft furnishings create a welcoming atmosphere, while rustic features like muntin windows and plenty of wooden accents are true to the cottage’s origins.
You’ll enter straight into an open-plan living area with a plush sofa, a Smart TV and a circular oak dining table for enjoying meals together. Prepare delicious holiday meals in the glossy modern kitchen, featuring sleek units and countertops. Connected to this room is a separate lounge where you can sit and watch TV or have some quiet time with a novel. There’s also a cloakroom and a shower room with a WC on the ground floor.
From the main living area, a carpeted staircase leads to a king-size bedroom and a twin, both decorated in calming shades for a restful night’s sleep. These rooms are served by a lovely bathroom with elegant tiles and a skylight in the half-vaulted ceiling.
To the rear of the property, you’ll have an outside seating area with a table and chairs so you can eat in the fresh air. You’ll also have access to a 1,500-acre garden that kids and dogs will adore exploring, as well as an on-site professional tennis court you’re welcome to use during your stay. There’s private parking for two cars within the site.
