Locally, you’ll find the picturesque village of Chirnside just over a mile down a country road, well-equipped with local amenities and welcoming country pubs.

Finally, hopping over the border to Berwick-upon-Tweed (9 miles) is a must for the area’s visitors, where a historic lighthouse is well worth a trip.

Those looking to enjoy the salty sea but who don’t fancy donning a wetsuit, can pack their walking boots and explore the Berwickshire Coastal Path. Starting at St Abb’s Head (9 miles), this 30-mile walking route hugs the coastline down over the Scottish Border and displays a diverse landscape along the way. Considered one of Scotland’s Greatest Trails, this walking route can be broken into smaller sections or undertaken by experienced walkers in just two days.

Really enjoyed our family holiday, in your home, thank you. The chickens were a great hit. The farmhouse was relaxed, spacious and comfortable, enough room for everyone and it was so quiet outside! As the sun shone, the beaches were an ideal way to spend the day. Heatherslaw Railway and Paxton House were a bonus too.
