Burnbrae is a peaceful rural, haven situated 3 miles from the pretty town of Kelso in the Scottish Borders. Begrum cottage is a spacious, peaceful rural cottage, an ideal destination for a mini-break or longer, for singles, couples or friends who can request in advance that the twin beds can be arranged as 6 ft double bed. We are lucky to have super-fast Wi-Fi available throughout the site.

We are part of the Good to Go scheme from Visit Scotland.
We carry out extra cleaning as per the very detailed protocol from the Scottish Government. I have completed the recommended cleaning/ disinfection training as recommended. During 2021 we will be closed for a night between guests, to let the cottage ’air’ and to allow me time to carry out the extra cleaning. This has already been blocked out.
Burnbrae Holidays is a wonderful, peaceful place to relax and ideally located for exploring the beautiful Borders. There are many local walks and cycle routes where you are unlikely to meet anyone due to the lack of people. Or sit and relax while admiring the wonderful rural views and amazing birds in your cottage garden.
Begrum self-catering cottage has a wood-burning stove to ward off the chill and is a fabulous feature to return to after a day exploring the many historic Abbeys and houses and gardens of the local Border towns. The property is all on one level with easy, level access to and from the car park. The views from the south-facing conservatory, over the shared cottage garden and Eden water to the Cheviot Hills are wonderful and you have access to the surrounding fields and riverside from your cottage door. A welcome tray with home baking is waiting for your arrival.
