Description: At Burnbrae, in the heart of the Scottish Borders, we have three one-bedroom cottages which were created during 1999-2001 by conversion of a long stone barn. Each cottage is light and airy with plenty of space. From the dining area of the living room, there is direct, level access to a south-facing conservatory with views across the secluded garden, river and the Tweed valley to the Cheviot hills and the border between Scotland and England. Each cottage is generously equipped for 2-4 people for self catering. For those who require them, we can provide additional beds for each cottage. All of the rooms are on the same level and reached from the car park without any step up or down. Cars can approach close to the main entrance of each cottage for loading. There is a large, private car park adjacent to the cottages. We have a travel cot and a high chair available for use in any of the cottages. Awards - Each of our cottages has been awarded 4 stars by the Scottish Tourist Board, who inspect them annually. We also hold the gold award under the Green Tourism Business Scheme.

Location: Burnbrae lies in the Scottish Borders, 5km north of the river Tweed and the picturesque town of Kelso with its splendid square and ancient abbey ruins. Sir Walter Scott attended school here. Even nearer are Floors Castle and Mellerstain, two stately homes with fine interiors. They are occupied by the Duke of Roxburgh and The Earl of Haddington respectively but you can visit these and other historic houses to see the interiors and the art collections they contain. Mellerstain is one of the great Adam houses of Scotland. The house was built in two stages - the two wings in 1725 by William Adam and the large central block between 1770-78 by his famous son. The outskirts of Edinburgh, St. Abbs Head on the east coast, fishing ports and beaches, the Cheviot hills and most of the Borders towns are within 40 minutes pleasant drive by car. During early summer, there are enormous colonies of nesting sea birds at St. Abbs Head. The Scottish Seabird Centre at North Berwick (live viewing by cctv and boat trips to Bass Rock and Isle of May) is a little over one hour's drive away.
