Holmes House is perhaps better known as the Scottish Borders Donkey Sanctuary and the paddocks around this house are filled with wonderful donkeys as well as chickens, peacocks and ponies - a child's delight! The famous River Tweed borders the estate and you have a mile of Brown Trout fishing on the River Tweed free with Fishermans and may be able to get a salmon fishing licence locally. There are numerous delightful walks through the estate which runs to 80 hectares and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the rare and beautiful wild flowers. It is also a perfect place if you enjoy wildlife because along with the deer frequently seen on the woodland walks there are two Badger sets on the grounds and it is not unknown for a small line of badgers to parade past the window in the evening - a captivating sight!

The house itself provides traditional but spacious accommodation over two floors and even has a children's play room/nursery making it an ideal location for a family. Whilst this is a very traditional house, it has all you need for a great family holiday on a budget. There is a spacious kitchen complete with Aga (used only during the winter months), full central heating (also only during winter months), laundry room, ample parking and wonderful grounds along with 4 good sized bedrooms and a playroom.
