Property code: OC-89348

Tucked away in a secluded position amongst the undulating countryside of the Scottish Borders, this stunning country house is perfect for special reunions or celebrations with families and friends. Sleeping 14 guests across five spacious bedrooms, there is plenty of room for everyone to relax in style and comfort. Well-suited to those who enjoy long country walks or cycling adventures, the local area also has something on offer for those who enjoy a gentle potter around a historic town or landmark. After a busy day exploring, head home for a sociable meal in the formal dining room or a long soak with a glass of bubbles in the hot tub.

Built in the 19th century, this country residence boasts plenty of original features, and it has been sympathetically decorated to reflect its heritage. Traditional furniture, opulent soft furnishings and high ceilings add to the sense of grandeur, whilst a range of rich colours and tones creates a welcoming ambience throughout.

On entering, you’ll find yourself in a large hallway where you can discard muddy shoes and wet coats. From here, head into an informal lounge which is ideal for watching TV, admiring the views or catching up with loved ones whilst sinking into a comfy sofa. Next door, there is a formal dining room with ample seating for everyone and spectacular views from the large windows. To the rear, a country-style kitchen awaits you with all the mod-cons you’ll need to cook up a scrumptious meal. There’s also a utility room. Completing this floor, three steps lead down to a formal sitting room where you can gather around the open fire to share memories and reminisce.

Heading upstairs, you can enjoy a quiet moment on the landing where there is some comfortable seating and some books. There are five unique bedrooms on this floor, each sleeping a different number of guests, and they all afford beautiful countryside views. Three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, one has an en-suite shower room and there is an additional family bathroom.

This property’s south-facing garden is a real sun trap on summer days. The lawn offers space to stretch your legs and immerse yourselves in the rural tranquillity. There’s also a terrace with spectacular views and a range of seating, so take a seat and enjoy a morning coffee or an al fresco meal against the picturesque backdrop. Up to five guests can also sink into the hot tub for a relaxing soak at the end of a tiring day.

Wonderful- location, house, hot tub. All was amazing and worked so well for our family. Loved the long table in the dining room and the aga. The house was so cosy in spite of the very low temperatures. The scenery was brilliant and sunsets incredible.

The farmhouse was lovely and very comfortable. Log fire soon heated up the lounge. We were very appreciative of the thoughtful items left - sourdough bread, delicious gingerbread cake, etc. The views from the hot tub were fabulous. We had a lovely visit to Kelso where there was a Christmas Market on in a hotel. We also visited the shop at Floors CaRead morestle which was lovely and everything was a very good price. Some of us walked down to the river while others went to a local garden centre. Hide

We couldnt have asked for a better house to stay in for our golfing holiday, would highly recommend this house for any golfing parties, at least 9 courses within 30 minutes drive, we will definitely be returning in the future, the hot tub was perfect to ease aching bodies after golfing. All round brilliant holiday.
