A stylish dog-friendly cottage with unique access to Kailzie Gardens, a gem of the Scottish Borders.

Surrounded by the lush hills and woodlands of Upper Tweeddale, this enchanting cottage is the ideal retreat for a quiet country getaway. Set within a courtyard on the Kailzie Estate, guests can enjoy private after-hours access to its stunning gardens – including its glorious walled garden, glasshouses, wild gardens, centuries-old woodland and burnside trails which evolve throughout the year. Here you can relax and reattune to the natural world – whether you’re surrounded by carpets of snowdrops, blooming rhododendrons, summer borders, fragrant roses or autumn leaves.

A picket gate leads into the cottage’s enclosed courtyard where a path winds towards the front door. On entering, you’ll be met with a bright vestibule where you can store boots and coats before stepping into the open-plan living space. A beautifully designed Shaker-style kitchen lies to the left, with patterned tiles, grey blue cabinets, and a circular kitchen table – although Kailzie Gardens Café is also on hand just across the courtyard to the rear of the cottage, should you fancy a break from cooking. To the right of this room, inviting armchairs and a cosy sofa gather around a log burner, while a handy little writing desk is tucked away in the corner. The furniture includes bespoke and repurposed pieces from Scottish artisans, from the colourful patterned blinds to the quirky antique pieces which fill the cottage with character.

The first bedroom is situated on the ground floor, decorated with leaf green panelling and floral-patterned wallpaper which reflect the flourishing gardens to be enjoyed at Kailzie. The ensuite bathroom next door is home to a shower decorated with botanical tiles and warming underfloor heating. The second bedroom lies up the staircase on the first floor with twin beds accompanied by sky blue panelling and a floral feature wall and benefits from the smart family bathroom which is located next door. With soft olive-green panelled walls, a spacious rainforest shower, and a contemporary freestanding bath, it’s the perfect place to unwind.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a private patio seating area in its courtyard which is the ideal spot to settle in with a morning coffee. The estate and gardens are right on your doorstep, including a pétanque rink, putting green, Tweed fishing beat, and lochan so you’ll have no shortage of activities to keep you busy. You’re also spoilt for choice for beautiful scenery further afield with Glentress Forest, the gardens at Dawyck and the ancient woodlands in the Tweed Valley all within easy reach.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

For guests looking to holiday together but enjoy their own space, Coachman's Cottage can be let in conjunction with Grooms Cottage, sleeping 2, Stables Cottage, sleeping 2, and The Hayloft, sleeping 2. These cottages all sit within the Kalizie courtyard complex, with Coachman's Cottage, Stables Cottage and Grooms Cottage next door to each other in that order and The Hayloft sitting on the opposite side. Additionally, Honeysuckle Cottage, sleeping 4, and pet friendly, is under the same ownership and sits 1 mile from the courtyard.
