Kidcleugh Hide

A gem.

Very relaxing, handy for lots of great walks.

We had the best time at the Hide.

It was very secluded which is exactly what we were looking for with our nervous rescue dog!! It’s the perfect base for visiting lots of areas and for great walks. Our Christmas there was perfect - we had everything we needed and more to cook our Christmas dinner. The Hide is kitted out fantastically. We would definitely recommend the Hide for the perfect getaway - we can’t wait to come back!

We were looking for a peaceful, calm retreat with our dog to escape the fireworks & wow did we find it!

! Kidcleugh Hide is in an absolutely beautiful peaceful place surrounded by woodland. The hide itself had everything we needed, the kitchen is very small but we cooked every night without any issues. Fabulous bathroom & an amazing upstairs living space with views across the woods & fields. Lovely decking area & garden also. Everything was so comfortable & cosy, with the wood burner for chilly nights. 5 stars!! We will definitely be back.

Had a fantastic find!

Set in beautiful countryside with gorgeous walks right on your doorstep, The Hide is the perfect place to relax in. Fantastic enclosed garden for the dog, and the log burner really made the place cosy in the evenings. The views from the windows and decking are lovely and the sounds of the owls and pheasants really set the tone: peaceful! The house is fine to a great standard, and the bathroom felt very spa like. Would recommend staying here 10/10, and we would love to return. Thank you for our stay!

Great location for exploring the Scottish Borders and Edinburgh just a short drive away along with the coast.

Super property with huge amounts of glass to soak in the spectacular views. Great track / path that runs for miles gives fantastic walking right from the front door along with the Southern Upland path less than a mile away. We were made to feel very welcome by the owner who went above and beyond sharing his knowledge of parking in Edinburgh which helped us out no end. All in all a fantastic week away

What a special place to stay.

We wanted a week to wind down from our hectic working lives and Kidcleugh Hide was the perfect place. Will definitely be returning

lovely place great location

All good A perfect retreat from the modern world

Fabulous dog friendly place, quiet comfortable and cosy.

Kidcleugh Hide was an amazing find.

Myself, my partner and our springer had the best time enjoying the secluded feel away from the world and what felt like a retreat from our working lives. Listening and observing the wildlife all around us and staring up at the stars at night was truly peaceful. We would definitely recommend the Kidcleugh Hide for the perfect getaway to relax and unwind.

Scott was incredibly welcoming, we were surrounded by beautiful views and it was very peaceful.

It’s right on the Southern Uplands Way so you could walk right from the door. We could have stayed for at least another week!! Although the kitchen was small, it was very well equipped - possibly the best we’ve ever experienced! The bathroom had spa-like vibes and the upstairs living area was incredibly comfortable and spacious. The garden was lovely, however we’d not realised there was a pond - thankfully the dog didn’t take a dip, but as he was young, we had to accompany him each time we let him out. The property was perfectly situated with a decent sized co-op, butchers, and bakery within 10 mins and there was loads of sightseeing all within a hour. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to get away from it all!

Unbelievable spot, peaceful and beautiful place to stay.

The Hide itself is absolutely ideal and has everything you need, the views from the big windows are incredible and the whole place feels like a home from home. Our Dog (Stanley) also loved the paddock and burn to play in! Can't recommend Kidcleugh Hide any higher!

We spent a magical Christmas in the Hide, despite the wind, rain and storms of the season - it was still absolutely stunning.

Cosy, warm, comfortable, and so cool to listen to the rain while lying next to a wood stove. The Hide itself is gorgeous, has everything you need for a short or long stay, and is conveniently located near Duns, which has all the ammeneties you need for a cosy stay. There is plenty to see in the area, we visited Eyemouth, Berwick, Duns, Kelso and did some short walks in the local area. We have visited the borders many times but this is our first time staying in the Hide, we would absolutely stay there again. Scott and Aitor are wonderful hosts, making sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable Christmas stay. Thank you to both of them for their kind hostpitality, and we hope to be back soon!

This is the most beautiful cozy cottage and we loved staying there.

It is rather remote and takes about 30-50 minutes to visit the coast. Duns town centre is very quiet and when we went on Saturday afternoon about 3pm, it was like a ghost town and most of the shops were closed. Not many pubs or restaurants in the area to visit but we did find the Craw inn about a 20 minute drive away which was highly recommended, so we were very secluded but it is a lovely place to stay if you just want to walk around the forest and chill. Perfect place for relaxing. Cottage has all the general facilities that you would need, the kitchen sink is not in a great positioned for someone small like me but I understand this due to the tiny layout. Just needs some usable kitchen scissors and bin bags lol. My hubby was a bit perturbed that we needed to buy extra logs for the fire as the last time we stayed they were all provided, but overall I would definitely recommend for 3-4 days for a quietly cosy restful time and be prepared to drive a lot if you want to visit the coast, Edinburgh or Northumberland.

Kidcleugh is a unique property offering tranquility, amazing views & every luxury you could want for the perfect holiday.

The area it is in allows ample opportunity for exploration of the Northumberland, the Scottish borderlands,Mid & East Lothian & the beautiful East coast line of Scotland. The host was both welcoming & supportive to you having the perfect stay whilst giving you freedom & privacy to enjoy your holiday.

Peaceful place to be and as described in the brochure.

Close to a variety of interesting places to visit - beaches, castles, historic houses, museums and good pubs too. Well maintained and friendly and helpful owners. Good for the dog too.

Absolutely lovely place for a remote stay .

We had good weather . Good facilities and lots of local places to eat . We spent a lot of time in Berwick and St Abbs as we’d stayed in the area 2 years ago . Having just had knee replacement surgery the holiday certainly gave me some physio as stairs were a test for my new knee . A delightful place in beautiful countryside . Highly recommended

An absolutely wonderful stay in a beautiful property.

Scott was a fantastic host. The property was perfect and we would highly recommend it. A brilliant location, within proximity to so many places and lovely walks. Very dog friendly. Our dog loved her holiday just as much as we did.

We loved Kidcleuch Hide - it’s a wonderful peaceful spot with beautiful cycling and walking straight from the door.

The upstairs room has two very comfortable sofas and also plenty of space for dining and sleeping. Plus amazing views! Downstairs the kitchen is small and washing up is awkward but this is more than compensated for by the wonderful upstairs! Look forward to a return visit.

Had a great stay in this excellent cottage.

..It's quite rare for something to live up to expectations and more...it's simply delightful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay...I loved the bespoke furniture...Bed was large and comfortable on the firmer side which I prefer.. We went in April and had lovely weather ..The cottage was a little warm at times, so in the hot summer months, I would recommend a fan of some sort as I think it would be too hot in there. For winter there were two hot water bottles that could be used as well as extra blankets... Loved the shower with plenty of hot water and complimentary hotel type toiletries were left and a shower cap... Kitchen was very compact and wouldn't want to cook a big meal in there ..but it was fully equipped with cooker, microwave, fridge and a freezer in the carport plus all sorts of utensils, toaster, kettle etc so perfectly adequate and everything you need really ...Complimentary tea and coffee were left, plus the most delicious dark chocolate biscuits I have ever tasted! Also there is two dog bowls and some doggy treats left for your furry friend, plus a dog washing area in the carport too...The decking area leading from the living area was delightful and we enjoyed having our breakfast looking out to the wonderful countryside listening to the morning chatter of the birds singing....Even though this cottage is very rural...it's in an ideal location to go exploring to such places as st Abbs, Eyemouth The village of Duns has a lovely feel to it and is very close by for your local amenities... Northumberland border is not too far away , Edinburgh is only about an hour's drive ...plus all the lovely walks on your doorstep...All in all this place is perfect for a peaceful gateway in comfortable, beautiful surroundings and would highly recommend anyone to stay here ...Thank you so much!

This property was exactly what we were looking for!

It was perfect, and the views were breathtaking! It was remote enough to relax, remove ourselves from the everyday hussle and bussle of life, while also being close enough to town (Duns) for necessities. The property was clean and had everything we needed! The host (Scott) was so accommodating and responsive! He was so sweet and a great host! We definitely recommend this property and would absolutely stay again!

Beautifully quiet location.

Host was very helpful in fixing the lack of electricity due to a blown fuse despite being in London.

Amazing nice comfy, cozy wee place, amazingly quiet :) Just what we needed :)

Quite remote, but beautiful accomodation.

Beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. Main village of Dunns not too far away & is in easy reach of places to visit for a day out. Would highly recommend this property and will hopefully re-visit at some time in the future.

Only 1 downside.

Couldn't swing a cat in kitchen area. Tiny. Also still awaiting my £100 bond back

We had a lovely weeks stay at the Hide, the views are amazing and the whole set up is relaxing.

The owner made us feel right at home.

Beautifully furnished property, dog friendly and well equipped.

The Hide is set in a peaceful location with plenty of walks from the doorstep or nearby. We had a lovely relaxing holiday, highly recommended.

An excellent cottage, beautifully furnished and in a lovely tranquil setting.

The hide was very cosy.

It was perfect for me, my partner and the dog. There was a great enclosed garden and a 2 acre paddock to walk the dog. Very relaxing, chilled out holiday.

Whilst the property was clean and tidy, there was no washing machine on site which is not really satisfactory for a self catering let.

More concerning is the £100 good housekeeping bond which was transferred to the owners bank account as requested however 14 days have now passed and we have been unable to contact the owners to arrange return of this money and we have had no feedback from them regarding how satisfied they were with our stay

Lovely stay at Kidcleugh Hide.

The best holiday let we've ever stayed in. Fantastic location. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Fantastic accomodation and location.

Very dog friendly

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location.

Everything you could wish for. Scott was so helpful and made us feel very welcome . A perfect get away . Thank you so much Tommy and Debbie

Kidcleugh Hide is a fabulous property: cosy and peaceful with beautiful views- loved it!

Incredible cottage in secluded lands.

Stunning scenery from all angles and near to lots of great walks and beaches. The place was absolutely spotless with loads of special little touches. Scott and Aitor were very friendly and responded quickly to questions. Check in super easy. I really can't recommend this place highly enough! Can't wait to come back

What a wonderful place to stay!

The hide is beautiful with the open plan living space creating a light, airy daytime atmosphere and a cosy evening setting to watch the glorious sunsets and enjoy the fabulous log burner. The hide is located in a relatively remote position, surrounded by lovely countryside and is right on the Southern Upland Way, so it's perfect for walking. The small town of Duns is only 6 miles away and is convenient for food shopping. One of the highlights of our stay was the trip to nearby St Abb's Head with its stunning coastal scenery.

Fantastic get away from it all place to stay.

Superb location and the property was beautiful, I would highly recommend it.

Comfort and cleanliness.

Quietest place we've stayed. Peaceful view from the deck. Feeling of remoteness. BBQ. No mobile signal was a plus. Internet a little slow but not problematic. We were on holiday so not a big deal. Bedding clean and comfortable. Covered carparking bay. Great for loading and unloading our stuff. Definitely a plus in the rain. Also when making enquiries about equipment and facilities in the property, the owners were super fast in responding.

Great holiday.

Loved our stay here, beautiful lodge and perfect surroundings to walk our dog without taking the car.

This is a real little Gem of a place.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped and very cosy. With undfloor heating in the bathroom and kitchen. Beautiful garden. Very quiet and tranquil. We spent a wonderful week at this property. The only couple of things I would bring to anyone’s attention is the kitchen sink is right in a corner and does make washing up quite difficult!!!!. The other is the parking of the car as very narrow lane. There is parking under the hide for two cars but quite a difficult manoeuvre because of the narrowness of the path and the main wooden pillar of the hide. The owner Scott was very helpful and accommodating . A great location for anyone who wishes to go into Northumberland as we did . Visited Cragside and Bamburgh castle. Lots of up to date information on places to visit which are up to date.

An absolute gem!

, the Hide is ideally located in a lovely tranquil setting but still close enough to all amenities. The accommodation is imaginative and quirky with many fascinating features both inside and outside. Pop Larkin would describe it as "Purfik".

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the cottage.

The room which consists of Living, Dining and Bedroom was so bright with beautiful views. There was plenty of room to move about and all the furniture was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The accommodation is delightful and the host friendly.

Many interesting places are accessible from this venue.
