Gather all the family at this beautiful retreat which sits along the Scottish Borders in Swinton. An inviting welcome awaits; the property has been artfully styled to offer the most comfortable of stays for up to six guests, and features a beautiful open-plan living arrangement running throughout the ground floor of the house. Perfectly placed in a tranquil conservation area, between Coldstream and Duns, the village of Norham and the River Tweed are also only 6 miles away. The cottage also serves as a great base for exploring this charming part of the Scottish Borders.

Step inside the spacious open-plan living area with kitchen/diner; beautifully presented with a delicate colour scheme running throughout the house. This warm and inviting room presents plenty of opportunity for everyone to enjoy relaxing, preparing and sharing together. Why not pull up a stool at the big breakfast bar to socialise with your designated holiday chef, or prepare the farmhouse-style table for a veritable feast for six. The generously proportioned lounge is a sumptuous space with large sofas, TV and wood burner all adding to its cosy atmosphere; wall-to-wall sliding doors connect you to the picturesque garden, inviting the outdoors in. There is also a separate snug with a TV, games and books, ideal for children to spend time in, and a utility room with access to the garden can also be found just off the living space. A ground-floor king-size bedroom also shares its en-suite Jack-and-Jill shower room space with the snug.

Upstairs, you’ll find two further bedrooms; a cosy twin room and another king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The bedroom boasts fantastic views across the village green.

Outside, there is a large and enclosed rear garden which features a patio area, plenty of garden furniture and the option to use the charcoal BBQ in warmer months. Two steps lead you to the flat lawn and parking area. You can also access the adjacent fields and delightful village green via a side gate.

Set within a village location and a conservation area, with sweeping views across the village green and a welcoming family-friendly pub just 100 meters away, this bonnie cottage is a wonderful base for families. It is nestled between Coldstream and Duns, both 6 miles away, whilst nearby Norham is 5 miles east and offers a butcher, fishing tackle shop and of course, the tranquil River Tweed; one of the greatest salmon rivers of Britain. Keen golfers can enjoy a round at the classic links course, Goswick (17.5 miles) or there are many other courses to choose from nearby.

Families can enjoy plenty of days out within easy reach of the property. Hike the Cheviot Hills (16 miles south) and enjoy a picnic alongside a waterfall or lake, or perhaps hop on your bikes to try out the cycle trails. The cliffs and St Abbs and Coldingham Beach are also just 16 miles away and present the opportunity for plenty of family-friendly fun.

For an array of independent shops, eateries, Floors Castle and the races, the bustling town of Kelso is just 12 miles away and is surrounded by a breathtaking countryside landscape, perfect for exploring on two wheels.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location on the village green. Everything you could wish for in the cottage with some great finishing touches, we felt that the photographs didn't do it justice. Home from home which makes a very relaxing break for all. We loved the wood burner. Some great places to explore don't miss Floors Castle and Kelso.
