A stone’s throw from the border, this eco-friendly, wood-clad home sits in the middle of the countryside. It’s on an organic farm, where the sunflower harvest is a sight to behold in summer and autumn. This place has been set up with a country escape in mind, but the market town of Kelso is a short drive away if you want to stock up on supplies, stop for lunch or perhaps visit the stunning stately home of Floors Castle. From the wild meadow garden, you’ve got a view of the Tweed Valley and Cheviot Hills. Lounge chairs have been set up to maximise your enjoyment. A wood-fired hot tub to the side of the cabin is the perfect spot to end the day, preferably with something bubbly in hand. Inside, it’s all about hygge vibes with a wood-burning stove at the heart of the living room and a huge, L-shaped sofa to snuggle up on. A Scandi-chic dining table sits by the wall of glass, looking out over the valley and hills and the welcome pack with local porridge oats is a nice touch. Both bedrooms enjoy direct access to the deck outside, so you can wake up with a breath... of fresh, country air every morning.
