Nestling in the quiet Ale Valley among the green hills of the Scottish Borders, and right alongside the Alewater, is Burnfoot Cottage, a charming, semi-detached holiday home which has been converted from a former farm-worker's cottage.

It stands in its own secluded, fenced garden, and perhaps its most delightful feature is its conservatory dining room which overlooks the river behind, and from where you can enjoy the delightful surroundings whatever the weather.

Snug and cosy, with oil-fired central heating, Burnfoot Cottage is full of character.  There is a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room, one double bedroom downstairs and a second double upstairs with coombed ceilings which is accessed by steepish stairs.  The upstairs bathroom also has a separate shower cubicle.

Despite being in such a peaceful and secluded situation, Burnfoot Cottage is remarkably well-placed to take advantage of all the surrounding area has to offer.  The nearest pub is 2 miles away at Ashkirk, where there are also riding stables and an excellent golf course.

Shops, hotels, swimming pool etc. will be found at Selkirk (6m).  Fishing is available by arrangement in the Ale water itself, or in the many stocked lochs or other rivers round about.  If you have a boat or wind surfer, you can take it up to St Mary's Loch, lonely and serene among the hills.  There is wonderful walking country in all directions.  Many stretches of the Tweed are ideal for canoeing.  In addition, there are lots of castles, stately homes and ruined abbeys to visit.  And if you're still looking for more, Edinburgh is just over an hour's drive away.

Bed linen, towels, electricity and oil-CH are all INCLUDED.  Well behaved pets are welcome by arrangement.  Smoking is not permitted within the property
