Treat yourself to a stay in this striking, Scandinavian-style house, near Nenthorn, approximately 4 miles from Kelso, in Scotland. The airy, three-bedroom Fjordhaus sleeps six guests, and also welcomes two happy hounds, treating them all to views out across the rolling, green countryside. Set on a farm, the unusual, timber holiday home offers miles of walking right from the doorstep. Return home to play table tennis in the games room, unwind in the sauna or simply take in the views.
Wander into this property, with its almost Alpine look, to find light-filled living areas with an abundance of picture windows. Leave your walking boots in the hall and wander through to the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Tear yourself away from the country vistas to find something to watch on the Smart TV, which has a soundbar. Open the doors on warm days or light the Swedish-style wood burner when its chilly. Head over to the kitchen area to decide what to make for dinner. Find you have a wet room, plus a handy utility room, with space for towelling down your four-legged friends, also at ground-floor level.
Climb the sweeping wooden staircase up to two double bedrooms and a twin, each with a magical outlook. From one of the double bedrooms, stroll out on to a balcony, with your first cup of tea of the day, to enjoy the panoramic vistas in the fresh air. Discover a bathroom, with bath and separate, walk-in shower also on the first floor.
Spend warm evenings sizzling supper on the BBQ and gathering round the fire pit to enjoy the clear, night skies. Treat yourself to a sauna or challenge other members of your party to a game of table tennis or darts in the games room. Find parking for three cars at the holiday home.
