Three lovely cottages have been created from a former barn and stand in an elevated and peaceful setting within easy access to Kelso for shopping, eating out and local attractions.
Kelso was described by Sir Walter Scott as 'The most beautiful, if not the most romantic town in Scotland'. It has a glorious setting, nestling in the Cheviots, with the River Tweed sweeping round the backs of pretty Georgian cottages and the unusual octagonal parish church. The 18th century cobbled square and handsome townhouses give Kelso the elegant air of a French market town. Today the cobbled square has a wonderful collection of shops...cashmere, finest tweeds, pottery, Honor Murray, Tweedside Tackle, Mitchells Butcher and Delicatessen, and a unique assortment of gift shops.
Kelso, in the heart of reiver country, is the perfect base for exploring the borders and all its interesting history, geography, sports facilities and relaxing activities. The area is well catered for in terms of cafes, restaurants and unique shops in the charming Border Towns. The Scottish Borders is renowned for salmon fishing - Kelso boasts the world famous Junction Pool on the river Tweed. There is also good brown trout fishing on the river Tweed and its tributaries. The Eden can offer good grayling fishing - free to guests by arrangement with the owners.
For action - new tennis courts, the Tweed cycle way, golf, rugby, racing, horse-riding, curling, ice-skating, fishing, walking, beaches.
For relaxing - several beauty salons, gardens, historic houses, the Border Abbeys, the quaint Roxy cinema.
For nourishment - several good pubs including the Queenshead bistro and the Cobbles, and a superb wine bar, Oscars, are all found in Kelso.
