Escape to the Scottish Borders with man’s best friend in tow, staying in this exemplary abode at the heart of Hawick. There’s a never-ending array of walkies opportunities right on your doorstep, including along the River Teviot and across the border into Northumberland National Park (15.5 miles). You’ll adore spending quality time with loved ones (including those who walk on four paws), staying in this enviable country cottage as a pack of four human guests and two tail-wagging friends. Get cosy together in front of the coal-effect electric fire, making memories in between long days of canine-compatible activities.
With everything laid out on the first floor, your canine friend will adore having their entire pack close by when relaxing throughout the day or into the evening. The living room is comfortable for all, boasting soft sofas and plenty of cushy carpet space for Rover to curl up on, with the kitchen and dining room just adjacent. Leave sleeping dogs to lie comfortably in the living room whilst you discover two bedrooms, both doubles, through the hall, plus a lovely shower room. Outside, a garden offers space for pets to run around whilst you sit and soak up the sun. Parking is available first come, first served on the street.
The town of Hawick is rich in history and heritage, known for its role in Scotland’s cashmere and knitwear industry. Pop Fido on the lead and set off exploring the town to get to know it a little better. For stunning scenery and an enviable place to walk, make your way to Ale Water Valley (9.5 miles), a vast destination filled with all kinds of outdoor activities and plenty of wildlife for your pup to pursue. Just south of the town, explore the Ettrick Hills (approx. 10 miles), a remote, undisturbed area filled with forestry and endearing pathways.
