Scottish Borders cottages

We had an excellent stay at Barns Bothy and would recommend anyone to stay there.The place is immaculate with everything you need and more at your fingertips. You really do feel at home when you are there with lots of information provided with regards to where you are and what is available to you nearby.

A very cosy wee cottage! In a great location with good views and plenty to do. A great treat to have a wood burning stove to cosy up next to on the long winter evenings

Stunning place to relax, take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the local hospitality. The owners are fantastic hosts. The cottage is super well equipped and super comfortable. The week was just perfect. We are looking forwards to staying again. Thank you Danielle and Bill.

Good place very convenient for hospital to visit our Aunt. Only comment I couldn’t find a dustpan and brush

Lovely stay in a beautiful location. Great hosts and everything was clean and well presented. Will definitely stay again.

A perfect retreat, easy to get to Melrose but the peace and quiet of the country. The accommodation was faultless, comfortable, clean and well equipped. Fantastic shower and the most comfortable bed.

The cottage was as described and pictured except that the garden was much better than expected. By “large garden” read huge! The children loved it! The walled grass area was great for frisbees and the external garden was good for exploring. As well as this is the patio garden which is included in the pictures. The cottage itself was very clean with really luxurious bedding and towels. There are a lot of small thoughtful touches like plenty of hooks for coats and a porch which took all the boots so we could keep the cottage clean and nice to pad around in bare feet. There are plenty of leaflets and an OS map to help you explore, plus DVDs and a selection of magazines to help you relax. The bathroom is down stairs so expect trips up and down during the night and with the gabled ceilings in the bedrooms, there were a few bumped heads until we got used to it. There's a nice walk along the river into Denholm (2km approx) and a local cycle route (leaflet in the cottage) goes past the door so we were able to do that from the cottage. We loved exploring Fatlips castle (amazing views) then having lunch at Born in the Borders (amazing food and grass sledging!) The whole area is lovely and in a week we barely scratched the surface. Lovely comfy property in a beautiful area - I’d definitely visit again.
