Beautiful, great location, friendly people.

We had a great time here. Dianne and Rich were great. She met us upon arrival, gave us a tour and even made us a tea cake and had milk for us. Rich gave us a bit of history that was fascinating. We called him to adjust the heating and he was there immediately. Plenty of games and TV (not that we watched any), logs for the fire. My husband was excited there was a grill outside. We had great weather and were outside a lot. Easy to get to the train station or anywhere really. The home is beautiful and spacious. Plenty of room. Everything you need in the kitchen. Starters of tea, cofffee, bath supplies.

One of the best vacations of our lives!

The house is in a perfect shape !! Very impressive ! The decoration and every simple detail around the house is unbelievable!! The kitchen is so perfectly equiped and has such a great area that we spent unforgettable family dinners there. The barbecue in the garden was great, as well as the crocket game Cleanliness excelent, the beds so comfortable, bedrooms and bathrooms very spacious . I highly recomemd this property for family trips; Dianne hosted us so nice and helpful; the house is just 1 hour from Edinburgh, and very close to places like Jedburgh and Melrose Abbeys what makes the trip complete.

Fantastic Spacious Accommodation

We stayed in "the big hoose" for a Monday to Friday stay. There were 8 of us altogether. This is a fabulously presented house & felt palatial. The bedrooms were spacious & beds comfortable. The house is well maintained and tastefully decorated to reflect it's period. The house is well equipped & the kitchen had absolutely everything you would need. It's in the perfect location for exploring the Scottish Borders & there is plenty of local wildlife to see.

Fun in the sun

The stay was fantastic, what a great property. Lots to explore in the area- if you are into your outdoors look. I further. The hosts were friendly and helpful and helped with some local knowledge which helped with having young kids. If you are lucky you may get a cameo from princess sparkles….a friendly special guest!
