Soak up the majestic views of the surrounding Moorfoot Hills when waking up at this property each morning. A marvellous place to stay and appreciate the beauty of Scotland, this holiday home sleeps up to ten guests in comfortable surroundings. Lace up your walking boots and set off on mighty adventures all-around, hiking the surrounding hills in the Scottish Borders area. Alternatively, get stuck into city life with a trip to the bustling hub of Edinburgh (19 miles), a much-loved area that’s rich with history and offers exceptional shopping and entertainment. Whatever pastimes fill your days, any large group of friends or family can return home as evening falls, spending quality time together before retiring to five superbly comfortable bedrooms.

On arrival, take in the stunning surroundings from the terrace, a covered outdoor area with plenty of seating and your own private hot tub. Open-plan living awaits in the sumptuous lounge/kitchen/diner, a room with impressive bi-fold doors that flood the place with light and show off the view. On one side of the room, you’ll find a modern kitchen, complete with chrome features, high-tech appliances and all of the countertop space you could ever need to prepare a delicious meal. Two seating areas can be found inside, a breakfast table that seats four and a dining table on the opposite side of the room. At the centre, you’ll find a sumptuous lounge made up of plush seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV – the very best place to while away the evening planning adventures yet to come. Three of the five bedrooms can be found right here on the ground floor, made up of a king-size with a luxurious en-suite, a double and a twin. To reach the final two bedrooms, one king-size and one twin, take the stairs up to the light and bright first floor where skylights brighten up these spacious and modern bedrooms.

A really lovely cottage with gorgeous views in a great location. The sofas and double bedrooms in particular were extremely comfortable and the hot tub is a fun addition to the outside area - it was quite windy when we visited (in mid-September) and the hot tob provided a lovely escape that let us sit out in all weather!
