Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this idyllic barn conversion set on the outskirts of Broughton, offering the ultimate romantic retreat perfect for couples eager to uncover the Scottish borders with their four-pawed third wheel.
Bursting with charm and character, boasting a high, vaulted ceiling and beautiful exposed beams, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining/sleeping layout of this barn conversion perfectly reflects the light and airy ambience of your peaceful Scottish scenery. Your canine companion won’t be able to resist dozing in the sunny spots streaming in from the wonderful skylight windows as you rustle up some delicious treats or unwind wearing walking muscles – as dusk falls, fire up the roaring feature wood burner to keep toes and paws toasty. When it’s time to pause from chasing your tail, wash off a long day on the local trails in the contemporary shower room before retiring to the sumptuously soft linens of the cosy double bed. Make the most of your surrounding scenery by dining alfresco in the Mediterranean-style garden (dogs must be kept on a lead at all times in the garden). Outside, you’ll find private parking for one car.
The small, peaceful village of Broughton is a haven for keen outdoor enthusiasts, home to a plethora of scenic walks that offer your canine companion plenty of exciting new smells to enjoy. Find stick-throwing opportunities along the route of the John Buchan Way trail from Broughton to carve through the hills and valleys of Tweeddale. Take the lead to nearby Biggar (6 miles) to sniff out this area’s best local produce from its array of shops, restaurants and cafes, or venture to Peebles (13.5 miles) in the heart of Upper Tweeddale to enjoy some of the best hillwalking in the border country.
