UPK
Lochside Stable House
- sleeps 9 - 11
Yetholm, near 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).

UWC
North Milton Farmhouse
- sleeps 9
near
Kirkcudbright. |
|
In a
peaceful countryside setting, this spacious
19th-century farmhouse is found just a mile
from the attractive coast of the Solway,
with its many sandy beaches. Spacious and
tastefully furnished, it boasts an Aga and
wood-burning stove, as well as a large
landscaped garden in which to relax.
The
picturesque town of Kirkcudbright lies just
3miles away, made up of beautifully painted
houses of assorted architecture - including
Georgian villas and Victorian town houses.
Several art and antique shops reflect the
fact that it was once the centre of an
artists' colony, established by Edward
Hornel, an important member of the
19th-century Scottish arts establishment.
Broughton House (once the artist's home),
together with its delightful Japanese
garden, is open to the public (April to Oct)
and displays some of his work. Several other
art galleries are liberally sprinkled around
the town, including the Tolbooth Art Centre
and the Harbour Cottage Gallery.
A further
place of interest within the town is
McLellan's Castle - towering above
Kirkcudbright's pretty harbour - which was
built for the Provost Sir Thomas McLellan of
Bombie; whilst the Stewartry Museum houses a
collection of assorted items representing
the life and times of the Solway coast. Not
far away lies the Gatehouse of Fleet, which
became the `Glasgow' of the Solway, and was
important during the boom of the cotton
industry. A former bobbin mill now serves as
the Mill on the Fleet Museum, tracing the
history of Gatehouse and Galloway.
A little
further west, Newton Stewart lies as a quiet
market town beside the River Cree,
where there is excellent salmon and trout
fishing, whilst for walkers, the
Galloway Forest Park provides magnificent
routes, with the Southern Upland Way passing
through. Castle Douglas (10miles) offers an
interesting selection of local food shops,
whilst Threave Castle and the spectacular
Threave Gardens (NTS) are well worth
visiting..
