Escape to this enticing stone holiday home on the Scottish borders, close to the historic market town of Duns. Set within approximately 3,000 scenic acres of the Ellemford Country Estate, this beautifully finished cottage sleeps up to four guests. Enjoy glorious walks – including along the Southern Upland Way, which runs close by – excellent fishing on the Whiteadder Water river as well as proximity to golf courses and a nature reserve, where you can spot a plethora of birds, as well as seals.

Your traditional cottage feels bright and inviting from the moment you step through its front door. Tasteful décor and soft, natural shades enhance rooms already filled with natural light. Internal comfort and a characterful space are complemented by beautiful countryside views.

Pass relaxing evenings in your welcoming lounge where you can light your wood burner to bring a cosy glow to the space. Settle down to watch TV or a DVD in here or simply gaze out towards the river. Spread out into your snug/games room, where guests can watch TV or perhaps set up the PlayStation 3. Your kitchen/diner is another great place to congregate: prepare home-cooked meals in here then enjoy them together at the table. Your kitchen also has a useful washing machine while a dryer and freezer can be found in the utility room.

Follow the cottage-style steep stairs up to the first floor and your two charming and spacious bedrooms, both of which are light and bright. Find your family bathroom also conveniently on this level.

Outside, you’ll be delighted to discover a generous, enclosed garden with plenty of sunshine. Light the BBQ, enjoy a chilled glass of something delicious and watch the children as they play on the grass. Your Scottish cottage also has space for up to two cars to park off the road.
