They can have the run of this level, with its generous space, flagstone floors and exquisite kitchen, with vaulted, curved, brick ceiling.

Loved the location. Absolutely incredible estate to walk around with jaw dropping views. It's a lovely property and well kitted out, but we were disappointed with th general cleanliness. Huge cobwebs hanging around, thick dust in places and the kitchen felt greasy and sticky. Hasn't had a deep clean for a while. The road to get to the property is bRead moreumpy, and whilst it says EV charging available.there is only one which is dangling out of one of the properties windows which was constantly in use. Hide

Such a special week staying in this unique setting and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful scenery and the Glen Estate's calm environment. We received a warm welcome from our hosts and having access to the private estate and gardens was a joy; if ever there was a place of tranquility to take a holiday this was it.

We had a fantastic holiday at the Old Larder. Unlike any other holiday I've been on, we had miles of private grounds to explore which included farming land, lochs, rivers, hills, woodland, old buildings, bridges and other man-made structures. We saw many new lambs and calves with their mum's, deer, a red squirrel, wildfowl and I'm sure if we didn'tRead more have noisy young children we'd have seen even more. The cottage was lovely, with the log burning fire and original features. Fab time. Hide

Superb location with many interesting places to visit within easy reach. Lovely walks on the estate which in itself was quite unique. Very friendly and warm welcome from the host and staff. Only downside was the lack of comfortable seating and the property was in shade all day. The stone floors downstairs and stone staircase could be a problem for Read moresome but the fourposter bed in the main bedroom was brilliant. Hide

The Larder is a great cottage ideal for exploring the Tweed Valley - mountain biking, horse riding, walking, fishing. The Glen Estate is a stunning location. Had a lovely meal in The Traquair Arms Hotel in Innerleithen.
