Tweedside, Milne Graden
With unrestricted views over the gentle curve of the River Tweed, Tweedside is everything a cottage should be, petit and perfectly formed, furnished in a wonderfully fresh country style with a cosy open fire.
Earthy colours and neutrals feature throughout the open plan ground floor with a stylish sofa upholstered in hydrangea highland tweed and plush velvet cushions, high-backed armchairs in herringbone recycled wool and a lovely casual dining space in soft limed oak.
Upstairs, the restful Skimming Stone colour scheme continues into the two compact but comfortable bedrooms - one zip and link, and one double. Headboards have been given a plush new look with carefully selected Royal Oak Lewis & Wood fabrics, matched with shades from Fermoie, Jim Lawrence pendant lighting, and punctuated by textured linen cushions from Oka.
Outside guests can enjoy amazing 180-degree views of the river from the garden while a private path leads directly down to the banks of the Tweed where you may be lucky enough to spot the odd deer, otter, kingfisher and occasional leaping salmon along the way. Perfect for your mini adventurers, take a stroll to the pirate ship playground located in the woodland of the wider estate complete with a slide and exhilarating climbing wall. Four-legged friends are equally sure to enjoy Milne Graden’s dedicated Tails of the Tweed dog park. The estate’s old walled garden has been transformed into a safe and secure off-lead space for your dogs to exercise and socialise. The park is also home to a variety of fun obstacles, including a seesaw, tunnel, and platform, so you and your pup can try your hand at agility.
