Garden Cottage, Teviot Bank
Tucked away near the delightful village of Denholm, Garden Cottage is an idyllic countryside retreat with easy access to an abundance of walking and cycling trails as well as on-site fishing along Teviot Bank's own tranquil stretch of river.
Approached via a private, tree-lined driveway, this irresistibly inviting cottage enjoys panoramic views that stretch in every direction. The charming front entrance opens into a small inner porch, with plenty of space for hanging coats and storing outdoor shoes, before leading to a spacious open plan kitchen and living space. The contemporary, fully equipped kitchen is flooded with natural light, offering the perfect spot for cooking up delicious home cooked meals or socialising around the dining table which seats up to four guests. With a comfortable sofa and armchairs, you can enjoy lingering evenings in front of the wood burner or simply cosying up with a good book and admiring the pretty garden views beyond the window.
A double and twin bedroom can be found upstairs featuring characterful combed ceilings and scenic views out towards Ruberslaw Hill. Crisp linens from the White Company are paired with upholstered headboards, gorgeous fabrics from the Scottish design company Inchyra, along with sumptuous goose down duvets and pillows to ease you into a refreshing night’s sleep.
Outside, you can enjoy the sun-soaked patio and garden furniture or relax on the spacious lawn whilst admiring the breathtaking surrounding scenery. Boasting stunning countryside views and with frequent sightings of wandering wildlife, you'll be endlessly captivated by the beauty of your surroundings.
If you’d prefer to venture further afield, a short 15-minute drive will take you Harestanes where you’ll find a play park, picnic benches and an abundance of scenic walking trails. History buffs will enjoy a trip to the nearby towns of Hawick and Jedburgh, with a variety of fascinating sites including Jedburgh Castle Jail and Museum, Mary Queen of Scot’s Visitor Centre and Borders Textile Towerhouse. Nearby, you can take to the Rubers Law Loop offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys or the South Minto Hill and Fatlips Castle Loop which combines fascinating historical landmarks with stunning scenery.
