Perfect for two, this stunning conversion brings together the understated elegance of Scandi design which embraces warmth and light in equal measure.

Think the warming glow of a real fire, natural textures, and spirit-lifting views and you begin to get the feel for this space.

Set across one floor, a key feature of the living area is the lofty bi-folding doors which extend across the south-facing aspect and bounce natural light through the room.

This is enhanced by a soft, chalky colour scheme from Farrow & Ball, punctuated with leather and velvet textures, along with salvaged sycamore which has been carefully crafted by a local artisan to create the tactile window ledges. Technology includes a Smart TV and a high spec integrated bluetooth speaker system for some relaxation time.

A small island unit divides the living space, while the crisp, contemporary lines of the kitchen is equipped with all the main essentials, including a Nespresso machine for that first morning coffee.

Finally the bedroom with en-suite bathroom draws on deeper hues to create warmth and comfort, carefully designed using a scheme of moody blues and misty greys, along with artworks from Jane Lannagan.

Outside, the property benefits from a large lawned garden and patio where you can soak in the views while dining al fresco.

ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION

If you are looking for a property in a similar style, Mulberry Cottage sleeping 4 and The Lodge sleeping 2 are owned by the same owner.

The Little Things We Love

With the fabulous Borders countryside on the doorstep, a clever renovation has ensured that the view is the focal point of every room.

Don't take our word for it...

Searching for a C&C short break to catch a spell of fine weather we saw that The Studio had a rare availability slot. Our first Spring visit after three September stays - and just as beautiful. Highlights: bluebells, gorse, apple and cherry blossoms, two types of wild garlic (sight and smell!). We keep returning for the comfort, space, serenity and, of course, those stunning views. Thank you for the generous welcome pack, including the delicious home-made cake. Until the next time.

The Studio is a beautifully-appointment holiday cottage in an idyllic setting. Everything has been thought of and we felt that we had everything needed to ensure a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It is an incredibly generous light-filled space for two people, with the most amazing views towards the Eildon Hills. Lots of wonderful things to do and see close by. A very quiet setting, with lots of wildlife passing by in the mornings and evenings, including deer, hares, and owls! We look forward to returning.

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Studio and found the owners to be accommodating. We loved the peaceful location of The Studio and the wonderful furnishings. It was thoughtfully laid out and decorated beautifully. The housekeeper was fantastic. We have been visiting the Borders since the early 90's and this is our favorite. The views of the hills are spectacular.

We stayed at The Studio, what a fantastic place for a couple and their dog to stay. The views from the property are stunning, and that is not a cliche, simply beautiful. The flow of the cottage is perfect, and facilities provided are second to none. We would definitely recommend anyone stay there, and we would definitely stay again. 5* Star accommodation. The area is fantastic! We would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful time at The Studio. It was our second visit and it was every bit as perfect as we had remembered. It was like coming home! It was very hard to leave at the end of the week. As ever, the cottage was spotlessly clean, and it was warm and inviting when we arrived. The lemon drizzle cake and the fresh flowers continue to be a lovely welcoming touch. It is a very special place which has become a firm Crabtree & Crabtree favourite for us. Thank you, as always, for providing such an efficient booking service and such a wonderful range of gorgeous properties.

We had a fabulous time at The Studio thank you. We loved the walks straight from the door including one all the way to Melrose taking in Abbotsford House on the way. There are lots of dog friendly places to eat and drink too and we also enjoyed exploring Hawick and Kelso. The Studio itself is very well equipped with everything you need to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We hooked up to the music system with speakers in the bedroom and living room ceiling one night. The TV has Netflix etc. as well in the event of bad weather but it’s difficult to tear your eyes away from the view from the living room, which is absolutely stunning. We really love the Borders and will be back!

Don't take our word for it...

We had an excellent few days at The Studio. The barn has been BEAUTIFULLY converted, immaculately furnished and is in a very special place with the most blissful, awe-inspiring views. Perfect peace. It is ideally placed for visiting Abbotsford House and Gardens and we enjoyed good meals and antique hunting in Melrose, Kelso and Lauder. Weather was fabulous. Thank you to the owners... we will certainly return next year.

Our second stay at The Studio and it was just as relaxing and magical as the first time. Can recommend Provender in Melrose and the Haining Estate in Selkirk for a lovely walk around the loch on wide, level pathways. Thank you.
