Here are a few of the
Holiday Cottages we list in Edinburgh and
the Borders...

Property
Ref: UPK - Lockside Stable
House - Sleeps
8 - 11
Property Location: Yetholm, Nr
Kelso
|
This
beautiful Victorian house with stunning
views over a loch and hills, sits between
its own large garden and the flower-filled
courtyard of Lochside House. Set within
parkland with rare breeds and horses, this
comfortable holiday property is extremely
well-equipped and superbly furnished with
antiques and soft sofas, perfect for
relaxing in after exploring the many abbeys,
castles and old houses found within the
area.
Numerous recreational facilities
are provided for visitors – without even
having to leave the grounds – and which
cater for a whole range of interests and a
variety of tastes. Music lovers will be
delighted by the grand piano which graces
the drawing room; whilst a selection of
games, toys and books make for an enjoyable
evening spent together as a family. The more
sports-orientated are able to while away
many happy hours playing snooker and
badminton, or enjoying the more sedate game
of croquet, whilst trout and coarse fishing
are also available on-site at cost. A pub to
frequent in the evenings lies just 1½ miles
away.
The village of Yetholm is made up
of two distinct parts – Kirk Yetholm and
Town Yetholm, which lie just ¼ mile apart.
Situated on the edge of the Cheviot Hills,
they mark the end of the Pennine Way
footpath, as well as the second leg of St
Cuthbert’s Way (a 60-mile walk ending at
Holy Island in Northumberland). Six miles to
the north is Kelso, where surviving ruins
belie the fact that Kelso Abbey was once the
richest and most powerful in southern
Scotland, and took eighty years to build.
Kelso lies at the confluence of the River
Tweed and River Teviot, a renowned spot for
salmon fishing, and a short walk leads to
Floors Castle, a huge castellated mansion
overlooking the Tweed, which is open for
visiting (April to Oct).

Peace and
privacy without isolation are the features
of this architect-designed converted stable
block in the lovely Border countryside near
Ettrick Water. Set in the grounds of the
owners’ house, but separated from it by a
stretch of woodland, it has its own small
garden area and terrace. There are
delightful scenic walks straight from the
door of the holiday cottage, and despite its
tranquil position, it is only 200 yards from
an excellent award-winning hotel (offering
gourmet restaurant and bar meals) and just a
half-mile stroll from the small Border town
of Selkirk. Here there are inns,
restaurants, numerous gift and craft shops,
a cashmere woollen mill outlet and coffee
shop, a salmon viewing centre and the world
famous Baxters food shop and restaurant. The

tennis courts and a swimming-pool; a sports
centre, museum and art gallery can be found
at Hawick, 12 miles away.
Nearby Kelso
boasts a now-ruined abbey, once one of the
richest and most powerful in southern
Scotland, as well as an elegant square
flanked by a splendid expanse of
three-storey 18th and 19th-century
buildings. Fly fishing (by permit) is
available on the local Ettrick river.
Conveniently close to Bowhill, home of the
Duke of Buccleuch and open to the public,
with a riding school/pony trekking centre
and an exceptionally good adventure
playground for children. The wooded
hills of Bowhill Country Park adjoining
Bowhill House are crisscrossed by scenic
footpaths and cycle trails: mountain bikes
can be hired from the visitor centre.

The surrounding
area offers splendid touring in the unspoilt Borders
countryside, with a wealth of historic towns, battle
sites and castles to visit. Glentress and
Innerleithen, which have a nationwide reputation for
some of the best mountain biking in Britain, are
only 20 minutes away. The cottage itself is close to
the Southern Upland Way, Scotland’s longest walk,
stretching from Portpatrick in the west to the North
Sea at Cockburnspath. The cultural attractions and
fine shopping in Edinburgh are just 40 miles away (a
comfortable day-trip), as are the beaches of Berwick
and its nearby shoreline.
