Cottages in the Scottish Borders

Spanning an impressive 1800 square miles, the Scottish Borders stretch from Edinburgh and The Lothians in the north to Dumfries and Galloway in the west, and down to Northumberland in the south. With its breathtaking Berwickshire coastline in the east, rolling hills, and open countryside, it's easy to see why this enchanting land captivated Sir Walter Scott. Here, adventure awaits at every turn. Whether you're exploring two renowned 7stanes mountain biking centres or indulging in off-road quad biking, archery, surfing, treetop adventures—and even walking—it's a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Fishing on both the River Tweed and Teviot promises tranquil yet thrilling experiences. And for golf lovers? There are 24 exceptional courses just waiting for you. When it's time to unwind from all that activity, visit some historic market towns like Peebles, Jedburgh or Melrose. So why wait any longer? Our cottages in the Scottish Borders promise a holiday experience that's truly unparalleled.
