A beautiful stay on the Scottish border awaits you at this quaint cottage. We absolutely love the hygge vibes that run throughout, with a neutral colour scheme scattered with touches of bright colour, together with elegant decor and comfy soft furnishings to make the home feel special. The dining area makes for a great place for a board game and beers in the evenings, while the lounge area features a log-burner fireplace so you can get cosy when the winter chill sets in. But the star of the show is in the outdoor areas – the wood-fired hot tub is great for stargazing on clear nights, while the hanging loungers are ideal if you’re after a napping spot surrounded by nature. There’s even a sunflower field that offers some idyllic photo opportunities in the summer months. When you want to get out and explore, you’ll find loads of countryside hikes all around you, with miles of green fields to roam in. The pretty Scottish border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed is also just a short drive away for when you want to find friendly cafes, welcoming pubs and wonderful restaurants.
