The perfect getaway destination, this pretty cottage sits at the heart of a farm in the Upper Tweed valley on the Scottish Borders.

The living room of Nettlebush Cottage is wonderfully light, and has a lovely wood burner to sit in front of whilst spending a cosy night in.

Fishing, cycling and mountain biking are all local pursuits with the facilities at Glentress, 20 minutes’ drive.

We easily found the cottage using the instructions given, parking was really good and off the track. Inside Nettlebush was clean and well presented. The kitchen is well equipped for two and everything works well. The bathroom is modern and very clean, water is hot and the shower is lovely ( remember to use the slip mat when using the shower) and the working towel rail is wonderful. Living room is spacious and comfortable, tv all works and the log burner fantastic and warms the whole house. The bedroom is a very good size and the bed is comfortable. Outside the seating area is nice and the freezer in the shed could be very useful. There are walks from the cottage detailed in the welcome pack and we followed one of these for a while before we noticed the rain coming lol. For walking, hiking or cycling this would be a wonderful base as it was for us to use as a base to visit local attractions. Nettlebush is a lovely peaceful place, we enjoyed the views from the cottage and saw a lot of wildlife. Communication with the owners was good and we had a nice chat. We can definitely recommend Nettlebush as a place to stay. P&J, June 26

Wonderful time spent at Nettlebush Cottage. Could not fault the time we spent there. Stunning views from the front door. Recommend to anyone thinking of travelling to the Borders.
