“Comfortable cottage, in a friendly village .”

Enclosed patio garden outside back door so our dog could go out, and a big garden down a little path where our dog had a fantastic time racing around with her ball .well equipped kitchen and bed was comfortable. Post office /General store only sells the basics but supermarket only a short distence away in Howick .the village has a good butchers that also sells lovely sweet and savoury pies. We had some lovely walks around the village so if your looking for a quiet holiday this is for you but loads of places to vist in the surrounding area you just have to travel .we enjoyed our week in this cottage and would stay here again .

“Braeside Cottage at Denholm is absolutely everything it says it is and ideally situated in the village.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and we will return.
Mr Bowden June 2018

“This is a deceptively spacious cottage, well-equipped and within a minute's walk of the village centre.”

Very quiet thanks to thick walls, and with a lovely garden a few metres away down a path from the cottage. We would use again if we returned to Denholm

“Excellent cottage , excellent location.”
Mr Hendrie April 2018

“Braeside Cottage was homely, warm and well-equipped.”

We especially enjoyed the log-burner as the weather was mainly cold and dull. Garden was lovely too, but again, the poor weather meant that we couldn't use it much. All in all a very comfortable stay in an excellent cottage.

“We had a lovely time staying at Braeside Cottage in Denholm and he cottage was as anticipated.”

We followed the short and precise instructions for the log stove which were easy and worked a treat. The best log stove we have encountered in holiday cottages of which there have been many. The location is good and the locals very friendly.

“Perfect stress-free getaway....”

Lovely, spotlessly clean fully furnished cottage with all amenities including wi-fi. Outside the back door a path leads down to a beautiful, secluded garden with mature fruit trees where you can relax with a bottle of wine after a day's sightseeing. And there's a lot to see. Amongst others, we took a fabulous winding road through the hills to visit Traquair House, a 1000 year old dwelling steeped in Scottish history. Also took the A68 north to East Saltoun and the Glenkinchie whiskey distillery. Take the tour and find out how the'water of life' is made, and finish off with a free tasting! Denholm is a picturesque village built around a central green, offering all essential amenities to the visitor as well as providing a great jumping-off point for exploring this beautiful, unspoilt landscape.

“The people in the village helped to make this a fantastic holiday.”

Never met such friendly, welcoming people in my life. The scenery in the Borders is stunning and the cottage is a perfect base.

“beautiful cottage in lovely location”

easy to find. Owner very helpful and nice. spacious rooms. beautifully decorated. Lovely log burner for the chilly evenings/days. The village has a small butcher, post office/general store. Couple of pubs... Fox and hounds and the Cross Keys plus Italian restaurant and coffee shop Locals all very friendly. Nearest supermarkets are in Hawick... we found Morrisons and Sainsbury. Lovely quiet village.

“Beautiful cosy well appointed cottage in a fabulous Village”

Stayed here for a week and could have stayed forever! The cottage has everything you could possibly need to enjoy a relaxing stress free time in the beautiful Scottish Borders. Located in the heart of the village a stones throw from the pubs and restaurant, the cottage provided us with a superb base to explore the area. Only 5 minutes from the convenience of supermarkets in Hawick yet far away enough to preserve that intimate friendly essence of village life. The cottage had a very comfortable living room with wood burning stove that was epically warm! Hard wood logs were provided (at reasonable cost) The kitchen was modern and filled with all manner of equipment. The small outside area was secure to let the dog have a moment of fresh air as required but the garden which was tucked down the bank was large and gave our lab a great space to chase his ball! It was also very secure! The bedrooms were comfy and the bathroom spotless. All in all a great stay we will be back!

About the location

DENHOLM

Hawick 4.8 miles; Jedburgh 6 miles.

The small village of Denholm sits in Teviotdale in the River Teviot valley. Only 16 miles from the English border, it nestles between the surrounding hills of Ruberslaw and the Minto Hills. The prehistoric earliest inhabitants of Denholm date from 2000-3000 years ago and there is evidence of Roman occupation in the countryside around the village. The early hamlet of Denum was destroyed during 16th century English raids and the current village, planned around the green, dates from the 17th century. In the centre of the green is a statue to Dr John Leyden, erected in 1861, and it honours this poet and orientalist who was born in the village. Today Denholm is a conservation area and the pleasing mix of pubs, café, bistro, butcher, vintage jewellery and antique shop and patrol station offer much to the visitor. A full range of amenities are available in Hawick and Jedburgh, which are both close by.
