About this property

Large country house with outdoor hot tub and BBQ house and lovely gardens.

Branxholm Knowe House is a large detached period property which is set in two acres of well tendered private gardens (recently featured by Holiday Rentals in Top 10 holiday homes with gardens). The house is furnished to a high standard and is ideal for entertaining and features a fabulous garden room which is perfect for alfresco evenings as well as fresh winter evenings with the log burner glowing.

The property benefits from five large double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate ten adults or two families. Four bedrooms are located around a galleried landing with two modern bathrooms (one en suite). Downstairs the sitting room and garden room, which is over 40 sq metres, ensure there is plenty of space for all to enjoy. The dining room provides a great setting for dinner parties (seats 12) and benefits from an open fire. There is also a twin bedroom downstairs with access to a bathroom.

Outside there is a six person hot tub, Finnish BBQ hut, two tables and benches, a pond (fenced) and woodland to explore.


Catering: Branxholm Knowe is a very well equipped property which is particularly suited to families. On request we can provide a fully catered traditional evening meal which comprises a starter, main course and desert using locally sourced high quality locally sourced produce.. We can also assist in arranging outdoor pursuits such as shooting, fishing and horse riding should guests wish as well as suggesting some excellent walking routes in the local area. During the rugby season we are also help to assist guests in obtaining match tickets for international matches at Murrayfield in Edinburgh (notice required).

We also provide a welcome pack for guests.

The property has a number of out buildings which can be used for the storage of bicycles.

Spacious house in great location
This house has it all. Beautiful garden with hot tub and bbq hut. Inside the garden room with log burner was a great place to hang out . Only 5 minutes drive to Hawick so we went every day to do walks and pick up groceries. We were able to cook a full Christmas dinner in the well stocked kitchen and enjoyed it in spacious dining room.

The perfect location for a break with friends or f
I recently spent a long weekend here with family and friends to celebrate my 60 th birthday and the house was just perfect. Beautifully clean and extremely well equipped. The house is very spacious and we loved the conservatory with the log burner, so comfortable.and cosy. The beds are very comfortable and the master bedroom and ensuite is fabulous. The outside area with its hot tub and barbecue hut adds a little something special to this holiday home. Nothing like sitting in the hot tub under the stars sipping a glass of fizz. Lots of lovely walks nearby and if you wanted to venture further afield lthere are lots of places to visit within driving distance. We hope to visit again soon.

This property lived up to the photos and our expectations. A fab living space and location for a relaxing break. The hot tub and BBQ 'snug' were great to add something special for both adults and kids. Thank you very much

Fantastic stay in this idyllic house in Hawick
We had a wonderful stay here celebrating my 30th birthday in December. The house is well equipped with fires ready to light for our arrival. The house did get a little cold later in the evening but given the fierce weather that weekend it’s not surprising. Gorgeous roll top bath in the master bathroom! Sad I didn’t hae time for a second bath. Hot tub was fabulous with excellent view of the stars (pretty sure I saw a comet) Overall a wonderful time was had and I would highly recommend to friends looking to host something similar in the future. Thank you for letting us stay in your home. Merry Christmas! Stephanie

We booked Branxholme for a family birthday and to go to Hawick Common Riding. We all Loved it.
Plenty of space. Everyone enjoyed hot tub, barbecue hut and even a 'short game of cricket '. Would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Dowling

Host profile image
My family have owned Branxholm Knowe since 2001 and have been letting the property to holiday guests for 16 years now. Career wise we are involved in financial services and property investment where we own additional holiday lets, hotels and commercial property. We currently live in Worcestershire with our two children.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Branxholm Knowe. A traditional and comforting house, it has a lovely homely feel about it. Growing up in the Scottish Borders and Northumberland I have always loved the area and I am delighted to see many people exploring this 'hidden' gem of an area nowadays!

What makes this property unique

Quite simply the delightful garden room which connects the house to nature and is flooded with light! We love this room on a crisp winter day with the log burner roaring!
