Within an hours' drive of Edinburgh, this countryside cottage in the Scottish Borders town of Greenlaw enjoys the best of both worlds. While you have the option to head to the city for the day, you can also stay put, enjoying moorland views and hill walks — Berwick-upon-Tweed and its coastline is only half an hour's drive away, too. The recently refurbished interior is a lovely place to return to after time spent out in the elements, with comfy furnishings positioned around the log burner sure to have you feeling warm and toasty again. Failing that, a long soak in the bathtub will do the trick. When the weather is favourable, you can take full advantage of the home's front garden surrounded by a stone wall, which has a pretty view of Scottish hillsides and a barbecue for those bursts of balmy weather.

Home truths
This home is buried in the countryside, so phone signal can be patchy inside the cottage
Both of the bedrooms can be arranged as twin singles or as super-king-size doubles

There are two other neighbouring cottages run by the same host that can be booked out separately
The two bedrooms are on the second floor and only accessible by stairs,so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
