There is an activity centre to keep all active; zip wire or swimming to kayaking or abseiling, the climbing tower or archery! Take in the quiet or whizz around the 7stanes mountain bike trails. Bring your bike or hire locally.

The village boasts 2 cafes, a hotel with bars and a restaurant and a pub as well as a famous butcher, baker, Spar and Costcutter.

The farmhouse has a large lounge with a French door to the garden and patio, a stunning garden pod to sit and while away your time watching the wildlife or just absorbing the views. The lounge has a 50-inch smart TV with Sky, a large library of books and a wood burner. The parlour has a further 50-inch TV, handy to offload the kids when you want some quiet time with a sundowner!

Yethouse nestles above the village with stunning views. If you are feeling energetic book activities at our local activity centre; abseiling, zip wire, swimming, rope walking, kayaking, fencing, water waltzer and loads more. We recommend booking all activities in advance of your stay to avoid disappointment. There is also a pump track and skills area making the 7stanes mountain biking trails a must to ride.

Kielder Water and Forest Park connect through to Newcastleton Forest. There, you will find even more walks and MTB and cycling trails as well as dark skies, an osprey watch and birds of prey centre as well as water sports and boating.

If all of that is too strenuous enjoy the beautiful walks in our forests and surrounding hillsides. Views are spectacular, on a clear day you can see the Solway to the Pentlands from Holm Hill. We are surrounded by quiet roads making driving and road cycling a joy.

Starry sky, total peace, comfy house. Loved it.
Everything thought of. Such comfy beds - everyone slept really well and no-one wanted to leave. Loved the walks along the riverside and Sawmill Bank, in Newcastleton, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area around the village. Spent as much time as possible in the garden, listening to the birds, watching the daily routines of the sheep and cattle, and star-gazing at night. Bliss. Perfect setting for anyone who loves the countryside. Very grateful the hosts agreed to us bringing extra dogs - it 'put the icing on the cake' of a special week.

Peaceful Christmas Break
Fantastic farmhouse fitted out with everything needed for a Christmas break, even decorated beautifully with Christmas tree. Real fire was a big plus and really spacious garden for Monty to run around in. Recommend arranging supermarket delivery as it's quite a trek to Hawick. Local Spar has good choices, but it is quite small as you would expect for a small village. Barbara was really helpful with local walking tips and the welcome drinks and mince pies were terrific.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Elborn

Host profile image
We live at the Bastle, Yethouse has been our home since 2000. The farmhouse has been a self-catering property since 2009. We have welcomed loads of friends and families as well as many 4 legged friends! The house is popular for those who want an off-the-beaten-track experience with mod cons. We look forward to welcoming you to stay and experience a beautiful part of the country often overlooked which is part of its charm!

Why they chose this property

It is off the beaten track but still close to all the village amenities; village shops, the post office, the pubs, cafes, and restaurants but its people that make places and Copshaw folk are truly the best people you are ever likely to meet.

What makes this property unique

Yethouse is a rural, peaceful idyll with stunning views from any direction. A place where you can truly recharge your batteries and spend time together doing things that create memories to look back on and enjoy.
