Overlooking the Eden and Tweed Valleys, with glimpses of the Cheviot Hills, this Scottish Borders lodge is the ideal place for those looking to connect with nature. Start your mornings with a bowl of your host’s home grown porridge oats in the open-concept living space, or if the sun’s shining, dine outside on the decking. Enjoy a moment of stillness as hare forage in the undergrowth and swallows swoop overhead before treating yourself to a long soak in the private hot tub. When you’re ready to explore, a six-minute drive places you in the market town of Kelso. Browse the locally owned shops, relax with a coffee in a quaint cafe and brush up on your history knowledge at Floors Cafe. If you’d like to expend some energy, embark on a hike to Roxburgh – the walk begins at Kelso Abbey and takes around an hour and twenty minutes. Head back to your abode in the early evening for a tasty supper rustled up at the kitchenette followed by a mug of hot chocolate in front of the wood-burning stove.
