Enjoyed a nice relaxing week in the Borders in this lovely, well fitted cottage. Particularly enjoyed having the Bothy, cosy with the fire going, and, of course, the hot tub.

Wonderfully comfortable cottage, very quiet and relaxing, with all you could need for a comfortable stay. Great location, close to lots of Borders towns to explore and lots of dog walking close by. Hot tub is a great addition after an autumns day out walking, very luxurious. Would 100% stay again.

We had a lovely stay at Branxholme Cottage, perfect for even our little girl and our young dog. The town of Hawick is just a few minutes away as well as many of the other sights of the Scottish Borders in an easy driving distance. It was a damp and windy week in October but we couldn't have been happier with our time in the cottage.
