This duplex apartment welcomes one couple, with an extra single bedroom for a child or an additional friend – plus up to two furry chums are definitely invited to join your Southern Scottish break. With its great location in central Selkirk, this flat makes the perfect base for heading out to explore the stunning Borders region, which offers history and nature in equal measure.
Climb up to this quirky apartment and enjoy its surprisingly spacious and comfortable interiors. The well-equipped kitchen is on standby if you want to self-cater during your stay, with its window-seat a prime spot for enjoying a drink while chatting to the chef. Retire in the evening, after your exciting adventures, to the elegant lounge with its generous proportions. The double bedroom is on this same floor, while the single bedroom nestles upstairs in the eaves, with a characterful sloping ceiling. There’s no outside space with this apartment, but the Haining is within 300 metres for easy walking in its parkland. Parking is on a first-come-first-served basis on Market Place (100 metres).
Literally outside the front door, Selkirk offers lots to discover, being one of Scotland’s oldest Royal Burghs. There’s shops and eateries to make life easier here, too. The Haining (300 metres) is a late-18th-century house which is only open to the public for specific events, however, the parkland which has a loch and mature woodlands is open year round. It’s certainly handy with canine chums in tow. To combine history, walks and views head to Dryburgh (12 miles) for River Tweed walks and to admire the vista from the William Wallace Statue. Also 12 miles away, you can sit on the bench at Scott’s View and soak up the fabulous views of both Scottish and English borderlands, taking in the River Tweed and Eildon Hills.
