The Scottish Borders covers 1,800 square miles of incredible countryside and border areas including Edinburgh, South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway, as well as the English counties of Cumbria and Northumberland. With such a vast landscape under its belt, it's no wonder that it's such a popular short break destination for family and friends, couples and individuals.
Spend your days exploring the rolling hills and take in the beautiful views. Marvel at everything Scotland's border towns have to offer, including Floors Castle, stately homes and award-winning golf courses. And, if you're looking for something a little lively, there are some bustling cities within easy reach including Edinburgh - where you can learn about Sir Walter Scott before residing in a pub with a wood burner on.
At Dog-Friendly Cottages, we also have a selection of holiday homes that are sure to put the finishing touches to your staycation. Think luxury pads with hot tubs and enclosed gardens, and cute cottages with woodburning stoves and views across the River Tweed and Tweed Valley. If that's not enough to tempt you, we're sure our great deals and customer service will. Our team is dedicated to going above and beyond to find you a holiday that everyone will love, even the dogs.
