West Linton, Scottish Borders
The Castles Cottage is a 1 bedroom dog friendly property in Scottish Borders, Scotland
The Castles Cottage is a dog friendly holiday cottage.
Romantically located beside the ruins of Drochil Castle, this stone cottage is a lovely countryside bolthole for a couple. The property is set amidst a friendly working farm, where you can help feed the lambs and explore the tracks around the land. The local market town of Peebles is 8.5 miles away, so you can stock up on supplies and enjoy a meal out together, before returning to the cottage. The property is single-storey, so no stairs for tired feet after a day out walking. Inside, the décor is homely and stylish, the neutral colours and tones of the living spaces complementing the rural surroundings. A highlight of the cottage is the wood burner in the lounge, perfect for chillier evenings. Leave coats and shoes in the large vestibule at the front of the property, and head into the kitchen/diner to put any clothes in need of a refresh into the washing machine. Prepare dinner together and set the table for a romantic meal. When the plates have been cleared away, use the table to lay out maps and guidebooks to plan your next adventure. In the elegantly decorated lounge, light the fire and curl up on the sofas in front of the Smart TV, with a hot drink or a dram on the coffee table. When it’s time for bed, enjoy a hot shower and then snuggle down in the bright king-size bedroom. Both the lounge and the bedroom also feature handy USB points, so keeping your devices charged is no hassle. The enclosed garden wraps around the property. In the daytime, dine alfresco and look across to the high walls of the castle, while at nighttime wrap up and sit back to gaze at the stars.
