Escape to a rural country house in the wild landscapes of the Scottish Borders. Tradition and charm run through this 19th-century property, with classic tartan decor, elegant chandeliers and vintage-style furnishings. Cater for up to 14 guests, who will sleep in a choice of five elegant bedrooms – four with en-suite bathrooms. To unwind, sink into the steaming hot tub while soaking up the views of the Cheviot Hills and surrounding green fields. Gather your guests in the intimate dining room to share a special celebratory meal before retiring to the comfortable and cosy lounge with an open fire. If you want a moment of peace, head to the second sitting room where you’ll find another open fire.

As you approach this property, you’ll instantly feel the tranquillity of its isolated surroundings. Step through the front door into the lobby, which leads to a bright and airy hallway. Continue into the informal lounge, with two plump reclining leather sofas and an open fire. Next is the formal dining room with a long table beneath a chandelier in front of tall sash windows with views of the Cheviot Hills, overlooking the River Tweed. Continue into the farmhouse-style kitchen with a large AGA which keeps the room warm and is ideal for cooking a large, special meal for celebratory occasions. A handy utility room can also be found on the ground floor. Return to the hallway and walk down three steps to reach the formal sitting room which is spacious with seating for all your guests and a fireplace. Head up the original staircase to reach the first floor where you’ll be greeted with some seating where you can relax with a book from the bookshelf. All of the bedrooms are on this level. The master bedroom has a super-king-size bed, Smart TV and an en-suite bathroom. There are two family bedrooms with a pair of double beds, a Smart TV and en-suites. And there are two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms which can be made into twins on request, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom on this floor. Outside, there is a grassy south-facing garden with a covered area which contains a hot tub and outdoor seating.

Lovely stay at Whitehouse over Christmas. Everything we needed was supplied to make it as hassle free as possible. The host was only a call away if we needed anything. The house fitted our party of 11 with plenty of space for everyone. Would recommend staying at Whitehouse.

I can't recommend Whitehouse Country House enough - it's a gorgeous escape to the countryside that is spacious yet cosy and has the most incredible views. With kind and hospitable hosts and a fantastic location, this was the ideal break for our group. We had such a wonderful time and would definitely host another event here in the future!

Large cottage, plenty of space for the 10 of us. Different parts of the group could have independence or we could all sit around the large tables. Beautiful setting, lovely views, friendly owners. Well situated for the border towns and villages. We found something different each day satisfying a multi generational family.
