Property code: 82788

Sitting on a working farm in the heart of the Scottish Borders, this wonderfully quirky detached Fjordhaus boasts fabulous views in every direction. Sleeping six people over three bedrooms and welcoming two faithful friends, it’s the perfect bolthole for a family or group of friends that wants to explore the beautiful borderlands with their pups by their side. Your dogs will adore running free in the enclosed garden during the day and snuggling up in front of the wood burner at night.

After a glorious day romping around the Scottish countryside, return to your rural retreat. If you have any muddy paws to deal with, head to the utility room and you’ll find a wet dog area. Next, make your way out to the housed sauna and enjoy some quality pampering time. Later, head to the open-plan living room/kitchen/diner and cook up a storm for your loved ones. Eat together in the dining area, or step through the patio doors to the large decked veranda, fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco. After dinner, snuggle up beside the fire pit and watch the stars come out; watch your favourite TV shows in the living area while your pups snooze in front of the wood burner; or head to the games room to play table tennis. At the end of the day, there are three lovely bedrooms upstairs to choose from.

Take your pups for a stroll around the gardens at Floors Castle, the largest inhabited castle in Scotland. There are water points and treats available for dogs in the castle’s cafes. Further afield, take them on a historic walk around Berwick Ramparts (26 miles). The views are great and there are a few good dog-friendly pubs in town to relax in afterwards.

Lovely weekend break. Beautiful location with lovely views. Lovely farm track walks from the house. Not really an off leash dog walking area due to farm animals, pheasants and hare. Farm shop well worth a visit. Enjoyed local Aberdeen Angus steak, bacon, butter and cheese. Owners very friendly. House well equipt and beds very comfortable.

Lovely Scandi style lodge perfect for exploring the Borders. Peaceful, well appointed, private garden away from the farm yard - it sits at the bottom of a lonning - but close enough for the owners to come and help should it really be needed. Extra features include a Sauna and games room. We bought from the farm shop and the produce was great. We raRead morerely return to the same place twice but would definitely consider returning to this place. Robin and Alison were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Hide

A rural idyll with fantastic views of the countryside. Comfortable beds,in light, airy bedrooms; cosy sitting room, warm, clean and with a very well equipped kitchen. The addition of the table tennis and dart board, in the adjoining garage, was brilliant for entertaining older children.

An extremely well equipped and comfortable nordhaus at the end of a farm lane set in beautiful farming country. The sauna is a brilliant additional treat. Much to see and do in the area. No provisions given at start of stay so come with your tea etc. The Farm Shop was not open during our stay and so cant comment on that.

Initial impression poor due to condition of driveway. This continued inside the property with poor quality of furnishings, towels and linen.
