Millsyde
Inside, the accommodation is light, spacious and beautifully presented, in a relaxed country style. The superb, Shaker-style kitchen is a cook's delight, well-equipped with all the latest kitchen wizardry. There is ample entertaining space, with a more formal drawing room, in addition to the delightful, convivial open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area.
The pretty bedrooms offer lovely views over farmland, with top quality mattresses and sumptuous feather duvet and pillows for a restful night's sleep.
Comfortable and cosy throughout the year, the house is tucked up in deep layers of wool loft insulation, keeping in the warmth from the under-floor and central heating. Solar panels help to heat the water.

Location
The house sits in a remarkably peaceful position on the owner's farm at Hendersyde, where one can spot a host of wildlife including deer, barn owls and otter. There are fabulous walks across the farm, between the woods and by the waterside. The murmur of the Eden Water can sometimes be heard from the house, as it makes its way to join the River Tweed downstream from Kelso.
The historic town of Kelso lying at the junction of the Rivers Tweed and Teviot was described by Sir Walter Scott as "the most beautiful, if not the most romantic village in Scotland." Today it retains much of its original charm with an interesting range of independent shops, a monthly farmer's market and a good selection of lively pubs and restaurants. A vibrant range of events can also be enjoyed at Floors Castle, The Border Union Show Ground and Kelso National Hunt Race Course.
