The historic town of Newtown St Boswells sits just to the west of the A68 and south east of the Eildon Hills, and a mile north of St Boswells. The town sits on the Bowden Burn, a tributary of the Tweed, which once provided the power for corn mills. Once a small agricultural village called Newtown, the 'St Boswells' was added with the coming of the railway in the 1800's and the settlement's elevation to a major town housing the Scottish Borders Council. When the railway left, the title remained. Newtown St Boswells is easy to find, and is ideally situated for exploring the Scottish Borders, with ancient abbeys, castles and grand houses open to the public. There are also many walks and cycle ways in the borders. Within a few minutes driving distance are Melrose, Galashiels and Jedburgh. Edinburgh is just a 40 minute drive, making this an ideal location to access the festival and Tattoo, or simply to look around the ancient city.
Baillie Hall was built in 1886 by Lady Grisell Baillie, in memory of her brothers.

Retaining much original character, this Newtown St Boswells cottage offers comfortable accommodation, and is well-equipped with modern facilities. Set over three floors, with a balcony off the living room, a decked area off the kitchen, and steam showers in the two en-suite bathrooms, this is a well presented Newtown St Boswells cottage, offering comfortable family accommodation.

Previous visitors' comments about 2 Baillie Hall:
Everything a holiday home should be. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely go back. This was an ideal base for visiting Edinburgh, Floors Castle at Kelso, lots of lovely interesting places round and about. A week was just not long enough! The temperatures were up in the 80`s all week, what a bonus.

We enjoyed staying at this property for the duration of this holiday, it was a real 'home from home'. It is ideally located to access some lovely towns and places of interest and Edinburgh of course.
Mrs Walton, Harrogate, September 2010
Wonderfully renovated cottage with real character, lots of space in the cottage, quiet location, warm cottage and lovely deck to sit out on by the stream. Owner very welcoming. I would book the cottage again as it was a great location for us (near relatives) and overall a good stay.
