All true countrylovers will queue for this cottage just 5 miles from the main Carlisle/Edinburgh (A7) road and Hawick - offered now for the first time as a holiday cottage.  1,000ft up in the Border Hills, at the end of a one-mile track - completely hidden from all except skylarks and sparrow-hawks up above - the house has an absolutely stupendous view stretching south-west for some 60 miles (without a house in sight) to the distant hills that border England.  No-one overlooks it.

Recently and carefully renovated in a pleasant country style, well equipped and with good central-heating, this was an old stone cottage originally occupied by the Estate shepherd, and it is still a location where children can run wild in safety.  There is table tennis, darts and even a resident owl in the barn!

All the rich Border Countryside is on your doorstep here.  Excellent fishing can be arranged on the Estate.  Golf courses of all levels are within easy reach, as are local restaurants and the knitwear and cashmere outlets for which Hawick is famous.  This is wonderful riding and walking country, starting straight from the door.  For those wishing to range further afield, the Solway coast, Edinburgh, The Lake District and Northumbria are all within easy visiting distance.

Heating is by oil central heating (First £15.00 INCLUDED) and open fire.  Bed-linen and towels are available for hire. Pets are welcome. No smoking within the house.
