Overview
Property code: OC-NB1951

1 Smiths Wynd is a one bedroom stone-built listed building built around 1800. Set over 3 floors, it is deceptively spacious with kitchen and utility room on the ground floor, the lounge on the first floor and the ensuite bedroom on the second floor. Nestled on a quaint narrow lane in the heart of Jedburgh, it is only a few metres from the Mary Queen of Scots' Visitor Centre, which is surrounded by attractive gardens. Newly refurbished to a high standard, the cottage offers bright and modern accommodation in delightful surroundings. 

Jedburgh is a pretty town steeped in history in the heart of the Scottish Borders. Mary Queen of Scots spent some time here in 1566 and the home she stayed in is open to the public with an interesting display of artwork, textiles and objects associated with her life and times. The house sits amid some beautiful gardens famous for the pear trees planted around the Augustinian Abbey in the early 1800s.  Another great attraction to visit is Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum, allowing visitors to walk through the original cells and discover the conditions the inmates had to endure. Please check attraction websites for opening times. 1 Smiths Wynd is the perfect base for travelling across the Berwick Upon Tweed on the Northumbrian coast and even up to Edinburgh. Activities to be enjoyed in the area include fishing, cycling, boat trips, horse riding, golf.

Fantastic cottage in an excellent location in Jedburgh, very comfortable, clean and really well equipped. Loads to do in the area (Jedburgh Abbey, Abbotsford House, Mary Queen of Scots house) and not too far from Edinburgh. Thankyou for a lovely stay, we will back.

Just returned from a lovely week spent at 1 Smiths Wind. Perfect home in an ideal location in the middle of Jedburgh, right off the main street but quiet. So many areas to visit in the local and surrounding areas. We took our 8 month old puppy on his first holiday and he was in his element in the house, not to mention a couple of the local pubs!Read more Everything you could ask for on your doorstep, with handy private parking space just round the corner. Mary Queen of Scots house just a few steps away. The house itself had everything we needed (and more) and was well equipped to a high standard, just like being at home. Friendly neighbours and lovely owner who was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here and will definitely return. Hide
