“very friendly; great location; superb family holiday”

The location is very remote and quiet. Ideal for getting away from it all. The nearby river with tributary stream was just what the kids wanted. Only three minute walk. The bedrooms were spot on. Lovely conversion of the loft area. The lounge offered delightful views down the valley with wide windows. The kitchen and dining room gave a choice of eating areas: kitchen for quick meals and the dining room for an evening dinner. The porch, utility room and courtyard added to the facilities ...

The porch, utility room and courtyard added to the facilities gving all that we needed. The owner Nic could not have been more helpful and willing . He did all he could to make the stay relaxed and enjoyable.

“This house is in a delightful peaceful setting.”

Greeted on arrival by a friendly owner and they were super helpful and on hand all week. Lots of space for a large group and even on rainy days the active boys found plenty to do in the games room. Enclosed good sized garden was great for the dog too!

“Family celebration”

Perfect setting with easy access to hill walking & local towns which have retained much of their true character. Spacious accommodation. Very cosy. Warm & welcoming owners who were most helpful on our arrival. Large Christmas tree & naughty elf were a pleasant surprise.
Mrs Finnie December 2019

“This was the perfect venue for a large family get-together.”

The provision of reading material, board games, table tennis & pool tables kept both children & adults entertained. There is much to explore in the outdoors. Owners were most helpful on our arrival ( a glitch in the heating system was remedied immediately we brought it to their attention). For an enthusiastic cook catering for Christmas dining, a couple of additional larger saucepans & some more glassware would have been desirable but not essential. Poor WiFi connection was a bonus. It was liberating to be disconnecting from technology & reconnecting with people.

About the location

SELKIRK

Jedburgh 20.5 miles; Peebles 22 miles.

The historic town of Selkirk, a Royal Burgh, stands on a hillside overlooking the River Ettrick, itself a tributary of the famous River Tweed. One of the oldest Royal Burghs and one of the earliest settlements in what is now the Scottish Borders, Selkirk has many attractions to offer visitors. Apart from the glorious scenery that surrounds the town, there is much to suit both energetic and less energetic visitors. Fishing is well catered for, being so close to the Tweed, and cycling in the renowned Glentress Forest, which is only a short drive away. The beautiful valleys of Ettrick and Yarrow provide a stunning backdrop to an enjoyable day’s walking and there are plenty of routes that can be followed. Less energetic but no less rewarding is to explore the Sir Walter Scott connections with the town, visit Halliwells’ House and museum, one of the oldest dwellings in the town, or the Bowhill Estate, home to the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch and Queensberry, and its magnificent collection paintings and artworks. In June of each year, the Selkirk Common Riding takes place and is an amazing collection of horses and riders taking place in an ancient tradition.
