Look forward to a restorative trip at this delightful cottage in Denholm, a sweet village in the valley of the River Teviot in the Scottish Borders. It’s got one double bedroom so is well suited to a couple or a solo traveller, with one dog also welcome. You’ll be surrounded by local amenities within 1 mile, including fine dining options, welcoming pubs, a butcher shop and a general store. You’ll also be excellently placed for outdoorsy activities such as cycling, hiking and horse riding.

This traditional home has a charming cottage feel to it, with low ceilings, latch doors and plenty of wooden accents. The decor is welcoming and warm – think cheerful colours, tasteful floral curtains and antique-style furniture and crockery.

Everything is on one floor in this quaint accommodation, which has a cosy open-plan living area for relaxing. After a busy day out exploring, stoke the wood burner and unwind on one of the plush sofas, perhaps enjoying a film on the Smart TV. The farmhouse-style kitchen area invites you to whip up delicious meals which you can enjoy at the dining table. An additional comfortable chair placed by the window offers an idyllic spot for relaxing with your favourite book. When it's time to call it a night, the inviting double bedroom decked out in luxurious linens awaits. Rounding out the cottage amenities is an elegant shower room featuring a shower and WC.

The cottage was lovely and in a great location, Denholm was a very friendly little town.
