- "We had a lovely stay at this property. It was everything we needed for a short break to visit Family. " - "The cottage was perfect for us, we were visiting family who live in the next street. It was perfectly setup for two of us, and the kitchen was well equipped. Some of the decor is a little rustic, but in keeping with the style of the property. It was a little bit of a surprise that the bedroom was two single beds pushed together with a gap in between the two, but a carefully stuffed blanked helped to close the gap. The lounge area was comfortable and the Smart TV was a good feature, allowing us to watch on demand TV like at home. The little touches were lovely; a bottle of fizz, tea, coffee & even cornflakes. We’ve already booked our next stay. The lockbox access is really useful for us as we travelled up from England in the evening, arriving at 10pm, so there was no stress about checking in."

The Scullery at Ladhope Farmhouse – A Romantic Countryside Hideaway

Nestled deep in the Yarrow Valley of the Scottish Borders, The Scullery is a beautifully restored one-bedroom retreat set amid rolling hills and ancient woodland. Once the servants’ wing of an 1850 Victorian farmhouse, it now offers a boutique hideaway designed for comfort, calm, and connection – the perfect place to slow down and immerse yourself in nature.

The Scullery sits at the heart of one of the Duke of Buccleuch’s working farms, part of the Buccleuch estate. Ladhope Farmhouse was rebuilt in 1850 by the 5th Duke of Buccleuch, though records of the farm reach back to the 1600s, giving every stay a sense of timeless history.

Inside, rustic character meets modern comfort. Exposed stone walls and an original lime washed stair well, frame a space filled with vintage furnishings, soft textures, and warm tones. The bedroom features a king-size Victorian bed with a luxury wool mattress and crisp linens – the perfect setting for a cosy, romantic night.

A separate living room, with views up into the hills, invites you to curl up on the sofa with a book, a throw, or a film, while the ensuite bathroom brings modern design and convenience.

The pantry kitchen, though compact, is fully equipped with high-quality appliances, a sleek granite countertop, and vintage touches like Spode china and brass fittings. Whether you’re brewing morning tea or enjoying supper, it’s a space designed for simple pleasures.

Step outside and discover a private courtyard garden. Enclosed by stone walls and chestnut fencing, it’s a peaceful pocket of greenery with space for coffee, reading, or stargazing under dark Borders skies. Just beyond, the Ladhope Burn flows past with its own little waterfall, adding a soothing soundtrack to your stay.

In the heart of the Scottish Borders and nestled close to the market square in The Royal and Ancient Burgh of Selkirk, the apartment makes a great place to spend a few days or extended break while exploring this fabulous and intriguing part of Scotland. Selkirk itself has a fascinating history going back to William Wallace and more recently links with Sir Walter Scott. The other Borders Towns are close by including Galashiels, Hawick, Melrose and Jedburgh, while Edinburgh itself is only a 40 minute drive or pleasant train ride on the recently reopened Borders Railway. Montrose House is so called because the Earl and Marquis of Montrose stayed here just before the Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645. He was known to be a brave and proven General but was nonetheless heavily defeated with huge loss of life, although he himself survived. There is a commemorative plaque of his stay on the wall of the apartment.

The nearby Philiphaugh Estate has various trails and riverside footpaths along the Ettrick Water. One of the trails leads to the battlefield so you can imagine the scene of 5,500 men in the desperate struggle between the Covenanters and Royalists. The Estate offers more peaceful attractions as well which include a nice tearoom close to the Salmon Viewing Centre

Sir Walter Scott best known as a writer, also served as Sheriff for 33 years and his legal connections should not be forgotten. The court house that he presided over is open to the public and only a short walk from the apartment and main town square. Walter Scott's life and times can be further explored at nearby Abbotsford house. The beautiful stately home of Bowhill House is not to be missed, only 3 miles from the town. The house is set in superb grounds with access to woodland walks to suit all and younger generations will have a whale of a time enjoying organised orienteering package and amazing adventure playground- ideal for children of any age and big kids too!

The wonderful Borders scenery provides a super backdrop to lots of outdoor pursuits including golf, mountain biking, fishing on renowned rivers and lochs or following peaceful footpaths through the countryside.

Set on the Bowhill Estate, the country home of the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, this two bedroom apartment is rich in history, surrounded by the ancient forest of the Ettrick Valley once favoured by Scottish Kings.

Bowhill Estate has a huge amount to offer for those looking for outdoor time or simply some quiet time for rest and relaxation. Equally for art aficionados looking to soak up some rich culture, Bowhill House has an astonishing collection of fine art and antiques, while the formal and informal gardens offer stunning views across the Ettrick Valley.

The Clocktower forms part of the courtyard properties and sits just a stone’s throw from the Estate tearoom for a morning scone and jam during the Summer opening season.

Taking a central position directly under the original Clocktower, the apartment sits on two levels with a large bootroom and utility room on the ground floor which is ideal for muddy boots, outdoor kit and dogs.

On the second floor, the living accommodation sits to the right and left of the central stairwell. The sitting room is large and comfortable with generous seating and views over the estate grounds, while the kitchen has plenty of room to dine up to eight guests comfortably.

There are two bedrooms in the apartment - one master bedroom with super king bed with zip and link option, a large walk-in wardrobe, and a separate sofa bed which makes it ideal for families with children. This extends into a large en suite shower room. The second bedroom is a double with adjoining family bathroom.

Outdoors, guests can enjoy miles of waymarked trails for walking, cycling and dog walking from the meandering 7 mile Duchess’s Drive taking in the sights and sounds of the area, or for something a little less arduous, the 2 mile Loch’s Walk or the incredibly scenic Tree Trail are ideal for leisurely afternoon wanders.

The Estate benefits from an on-site Ranger who runs occasional walks and family activities, while fishing, horse-riding and Land Rover tours are all part of the nearby facilities here.

The Stables at Howfordmill has an idyllic location just outside the village. Combining the appeal of rural quietness, and the lifestyle it comes with, and the convenience of shops and amenities within few minutes drive (7 miles). This former stable building has been completely renovated and restored by the owners and transformed into the perfect rural retreat for either a small family or group.

This two bedroom cottage provides a bright and open space for your day to day living, with French doors leading to a decking where you can dine outside and enjoy the open view over the surrounding fields. The kitchen provides everything you will need for preparing meals, be it a fun filled occasion, or perhaps someone is being treated to a romantic occasion. Come the evening, guests can either sit outside and enjoy the surroundings or chill out in front of a movie with your feet up. Should you wish to venture out for the evening, the local pub, under new management, has fantastic games nights, great food, live music and much more. Both bedrooms can be fitted to be either twin rooms or larger super kingsize. The bathroom has been finished to the same high standards as the rest of the cottage and has a shower over the bath. Outside, there are larger gardens where guests can enjoy a real taste of rural life but without being isolated; there’s a local pub serving food in the centre of Ettrickbridge for example. In the garden, guests can enjoy the scenery, the wildlife and even some horses in the distance. Fire up the BBQ and cook up some of the delights of local produce, one of the things that the Scottish Borders is famed for.

Visit a Scottish beauty spot without crowds or midges!

The space
The spacious L-shaped underfloor heated ground floor living space is great for socialising and there’s a well-equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, microwave, fan oven, induction hob, toaster and cafetière.

We have a freezer in the barn with dedicated space for guests if needed.

There’s a breakfast bar, dining area and lounge with two big sofas enabling each guest to pick their favourite spot to read - or even write - a book, listen to music, or pile onto the sofas together to watch a movie, play games or snooze after a good walk.

The one bathroom - with powerful shower and full sized bath, hand basin and toilet - is on the ground floor.

Upstairs are two bright bedrooms - one double, one twin - each with fitted storage space and views over the gardens and to the hills and forest beyond. These are loft rooms with sloping sides to the ceilings, so if you’re particularly tall you may want to take extra care.

Outside, to three sides of the cottage are paved patios, so you can sit in the sun or shade as you wish and enjoy breakfast or sip a drink before dinner while spotting the birds, hares or deer that frequent our gardens.

The cottage is a modern eco-house, triple glazed and super-insulated with underfloor heating downstairs, a heated towel rail in the bathroom and radiators in the bedrooms. Depending on the season, we’re powered by a combination of solar, a biomass boiler fuelled from our own woodland or by oil.

It’s very cosy in the winter and doesn’t need a log burner because it’s so warm already. Who needs the hassle of cleaning out and lighting a fire to keep warm when they are on holiday anyway?

Guests can store items such as bikes, motorbikes or golf equipment securely in our huge brand new barn and we have a separate boiler room with drying space for gear or boots. The barn is secure, and alarmed overnight or if we are out.

There's a wee boot cupboard outside the cottage kitchen door for storing dry boots or wellies.

There’s plenty of parking right in front of the cottage to make unloading straightforward.

We've recently simplified our pricing so that the price you see is what you pay with no Airbnb guest fee or cleaning fees.

We have found that couples love our place, so we recently changed our approach to price the cottage for 2 people and there is a small charge per night for each additional guest up to a maximum of 4. That means that you aren't penalised if you book as a couple and the price is reflective of the number of people actually staying.

Guest access
You have access to the cottage, the drive space, patios to 3 sides of the cottage and a small garden with lawn, trees and herbaceous borders, with outdoor table and chairs.

If required we can give you keys to the barn and boiler room for your bikes or walking gear.

You can get around on foot, bike, motorbike, car, and bus. A 25 minute bus or car ride takes you to Galashiels and from there you can catch the train to Edinburgh - a journey of around 55 minutes. We're very central and within easy reach of all the Borders towns and the Scottish or Northumberland coast.

Other things to note
We are so sorry but we do not take guests with cats or dogs under any circumstances, because we find that no matter how well behaved, having these animals around frightens away our wildlife, adds considerably to cleaning effort and is problematic for those with allergies.

We also have a lower age limit for similar reasons - together with safety and comfort - of 12 years of age.

For bookings made by companies on behalf of their employees or clients, where guest reviews may not be available, we kindly require a security deposit. This deposit is fully refundable after checkout, provided there is no damage to the property or excessive cleaning required.

We appreciate your understanding, as these policies help us to maintain the property to a high standard for all our guests.
