Set in the heart of a beautiful conservation village, this gorgeous stone-built cottage is the perfect base for friends and family, alongside their four-legged companion, to explore the Scottish Borders, Northumberland and the coast. Discover pretty villages and bustling market towns, visit historic castles and stately homes and take a blow-through on the beach, all within easy reach of this fabulous location.
Venture over the threshold of this charming cottage into the bright and airy open-plan living space with plenty of room for the whole family, including the furry ones. In the lounge, the wall-to-wall sliding windows provide lovely views of the pretty garden and allow plenty of natural light to flood in. Return from a day exploring the area to relax together on comfortable sofas with the wood burner sure to be hogged by the hounds. Whipping up a delicious meal will be a breeze in the well-equipped, contemporary kitchen, and sit together at the farmhouse-style table for sociable dinners. Alternatively, choose to dine al-fresco using the cottage’s charcoal BBQ whilst Rover sniffs around the fully enclosed lawn. At the end of the day, three expertly designed bedrooms await, skillfully decorated with a blend of modern and traditional colours and furnishings. A king-size bedroom can be found on the ground floor, with another on the first floor alongside a cosy twin room.
Enjoy views across the village green, and there is a lovely dog-friendly pub is just 100 metres away. Nearby, Norham is 5 miles east and has a butcher, fishing tackle shop, and fantastic fishing on the picturesque River Tweed. The market town of Kelso (12 miles) is home to an array of independent retailers and the wonderful Floors Castle, where pups on leads are welcome to tour the grounds and gardens. Take extended walkies around Paxton Estate and Manderston House, both within 10 miles or plan a day trip to Berwick-upon-Tweed (12 miles), the most Northerly town in England, which is famous for its Elizabethan walls, iconic bridges, and pretty beaches. Buy freshly caught fish at Eyemouth Harbour (15.7 miles), walk the cliffs at St Abbs (16 miles) or relax on sandy Coldingham Beach (16 miles), which allows dogs year-round but on the lead during summer months.
