Located in the Scottish borders and set in the grounds of a country estate, is this handsome one-bedroom property. Its elevated position makes it wonderfully quiet and it’s an ideal holiday retreat for a couple wanting relaxation and countryside walks. Despite the rural location, you’re not cut off from the outside world, with pubs, restaurants, and shops just 2 miles away in Hawick.

Distributed over one floor, the inside is a welcoming space with cheerful decor, light tones, and colourful soft furnishings.

The open-plan living area is wonderfully spacious with beautiful sash windows that flood the room with natural light. It also has all the modern comforts you could ask for: a plump sofa, a Smart TV, and a well-equipped kitchen. After a day exploring kick off your boots in the hallway then relax in the lounge and soak up the countryside views. When it’s time to eat, whip up a delicious meal for two then linger over it at the neat dining table. As bedtime beckons, you’ll be sure of a good night’s sleep in the king-size bedroom with its romantic garden views.

Outside, steps lead onto a patio. Pull up a chair and enjoy a quiet morning coffee while keeping an eye out for hares and swifts in the pretty flower-filled garden. As the property is surrounded by countryside, you can also enjoy scenic walking trails straight from the door.

The cottage was exceptional. It has a very high standard of decor, fittings and comfort. The very beautiful garden is quiet and has lovely rural views. The owners live nearby and were very friendly and welcoming. It was thoughtful of them to provide milk, eggs, orange juice and biscuits.

A beautiful cottage set in a fantastic location just outside Hawick, with lovely views and wildlife. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need. It was very warm and comfortable too. We had a lovely warm welcome from the owners and they are happy to help in anyway you need. Hawick is a short drive or a couple of miles walk along the Read moreriver and the beautiful park. There are supermarkets and shops and fuel stations. We would highly recommend this beautiful cottage. Hide

This is one of the best holiday cottages we've stayed in. Spotlessly clean, had everything you could need, a very comfortable bed - there were even Highland cows at the bottom of the garden! Nicola kindly invited us to visit and give one of them a comb (bliss). It's perfectly situated close to Hawick, but has a very rural feel, with views of rollinRead moreg hills. Various other border towns are also nearby and we even nipped over into Northumberland to see Hadrian's Wall and Vindolanda. We'll be back! Hide

A really top notch holiday cottage which was excellently equipped. Situated a short walk from Wilton Park and the centre of Hawick makes it convenient yet surrounded by fields so nice views and very quiet. The garden is lovely so sitting out is great. Lots of nice touches provided by thoughtful owner.

Beautiful cottage, gorgeous garden area, set in a lovely rural location, but close enough to Hawick centre for any shopping needs. Cottage had everything we wanted, and more. The location was great for exploring the Borders. Nicola, our host, was very welcoming. A lovely relaxing stay, in spite of the unseasonable Storm Floris making an appearance!
