A beautiful, well presented modern cottage in a very quiet area. It was very clean on arrival. We have loved our stay here despite the bad weather. The Bothy is on the side of the road and you do hear the cars go by but the road is so quiet that it does not bother you. A welcome dog walk is just across the road. Kelso is about 15 minutes drive awayRead more with a supermarket there. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Hide
