chilly holiday
Amzing property, very well stocked kitchen, lovely bedrooms and living rooms, worked well with different ages of famiy, Had a problem with heating the house while we were there which was a shame as it was a very cold week but the owner came and checked on us eventually and got the heating sorted on the last day which was a shame it took that long. the owner was very friendly when we did meet her, the hot tub was a nice addition and the fenced off area for the dog was really handy just outside the back door. Lovely area to walk round, amazing views so overall it was a lovely house and a lovely holiday just a chilly one. Would definitely go back.

What makes this property unique

Situated in the middle of a 2000 acre stock farm, in it's own valley, hidden away from the rest of the world, yet only 10 minutes from the train station to take guests into the centre of Edinburgh within 45 minutes, or 6 miles into Galashiels. Very well located for many of the Border Historic Houses, golf courses, walks and cycling routes.
