This stone-built listed property is part of a terrace row built around 1800 and is set on a narrow lane in the centre of Jedburgh. This is a town steeped in history – Mary Queen of Scots spent some time here in 1566 and the tower house she stayed in nearby is now a visitor centre featuring displays of artwork, textiles and objects associated with her life and times. Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum (0.5 miles) allows visitors to walk through the original cells, and you can also take a riverside walk or browse the shops in the Marketplace and Canongate. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy fishing, cycling, boat trips, horse riding and golf in Ale Water Valley, 6 miles away.

The cottage is set over three floors. A modern fitted kitchen with a dining table is on the ground floor, along with a utility room featuring a sink and worktop, room to store bicycles and a separate WC. The light and spacious lounge stretches across the wonderful first floor space and includes comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner effect electric fire for cosy evenings in. Finally, the beautiful bedroom is on the second floor and has triple-aspect windows, a king-size bed and its own charming en-suite shower room.

The property does not have garden access, but you are only 10 metres from the lovely gardens at Mary Queen of Scots’ Visitor Centre should you wish to stretch your legs (there is no entrance fee).

Gorgeous cottage in the centre of Jedburgh. Clean, comfortable and had everything we could possibly want! Parking is just behind the property. Jedburgh is a lovely town with shops, pubs, cafes, walks, an abbey, jail and lots more. A great base to explore the Scottish border and Northumberland coast. Fabulous stay! Would definitely return!

A lovely house with everything we needed, good quality equipment, very cosy and lovely big bedroom with very comfortable bed. Very quiet at night even though it is in the centre of town. Ian very helpful when we had a query. Harestanes park worth a visit and a train journey to Edinburgh was super.

Thank you for a really comfortable stay in your beautiful home. We're feeling very relaxed and refreshed! Looking forward to returning again soon. Recommend 8 mile walk from Jedburgh to Denholm along Borders Abbey Way: a real mix of terrain and stunning views, lunch at Cross Keys and No 20 bus back. Train to Edinburgh also a great day out!

The property was in the centre of Jedburgh and had parking. It was very well equipped. It is a quirky house but spacious and I like quirky. Im always a little reluctant to recommend anything unless specifically asked.

Quirky cottage in a quirky town. Very well equipped and everything needed, plus some extras here. Brilliant place! Jedburgh and Dryburgh are lovely, we also enjoyed the walk along border Abbey Way to Kelso and had a close encounter with a hare. We also recommend the Mary Queen of Scotts house, the Great Tapestry at Galashiels, Taj Tandoori and Jed Read morebaguettes. Hide

Beautifully decorated accommodation. So comfy and well appointed, near to all amenities. Go to Falcon borders which is 10 minutes away from the house.
