Scottish Borders Family Friendly Hotel Alternatives

Once Upon a Fairytale

• 8 guests

• 4 bedrooms

Selkirk, Scotland

Dating back over 170 years, this beautiful home in the Scottish Borders was updated in 1870 to take on the Scottish Baronial features that gave it its fairytale castle look, but it was only in the late 70s that the incredible vaulted ceiling was discovered and the mezzanine was added to update the home to what it is today. Of course there has been modernisation since to give it the contemporary, but homely, feel and the result is an ambient, open space that encourages rest and relaxation.

Flock Of Sheep

• 5 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Oxton and Channelkirk, Scottish Borders

Escape to the rural idyll of farmhouse life at this cosy cottage in the Lauderdale Hills. It’s on a working farm, where the sheep have been tended to by the same family for generations and you can ramble across hilltops and country lanes straight from your doorstep.

Shepherd's Watch

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Oxton and Channelkirk, Scottish Borders

Sitting high on a hilltop overlooking Lauderdale, this cottage escape is in the blissfully quiet lowland countryside. Stepping outside, you’ll hear is the faint bleat of sheep from the farm nearby and cheep of birds in the ancient trees surrounding the cottage.
