Why they chose this property

Old Linthill has been in the Home family since it was built in the 18th century. In the past few years it has had a loving and extensive makeover, with new bathrooms installed, fresh paintwork, new central heating system and new beds, soft furnishings and appliances. We like to think that we have retained all of the character of the house while adding modern comforts to make your stay truly memorable.

It is located in 28 aces of woodland and parkland with streams running through, but while still being within walking distance of the fishing village of Eyemouth with its restaurants, bars, museum and leisure facilities.

What makes this property unique

Privacy of a 28-acre estate with the convenience of a town within walking distance along a pavement that runs to the end of the drive.

Large enough for family holidays, group holidays and reunions.

A unique rural location with beautiful walks all around.

Close to beaches and villages.

A perfect location for exploring the Scottish Borders, North Northumberland and East Lothian while being within convenient driving distance or train journey from Edinburgh.
