    Superb home. Had a wonderful family holiday time. Good for just hanging out and also for visiting places. We all enjoyed the games room especially my older two grandchildre and even my 88yr old mum who played pool for the first time. My granddaughter aged 19 mths had fun runni g in the garden and through the trails. Highly recommended.

    Wonderful place, both the house and the grounds. The host was very accommodating and we were able to bring both our dogs and my son in his wheelchair. We would definitely like to rebook.

    Beautiful house in an amazing setting well off the beaten track. Lots of space inside and out for ages 1 to 70 years. Games room is a real selling point and a beautiful big garden where we managed enough dry weather to make use of the badminton net we found in the Garage. Park in Hawick is definitely worth a visit too. Everyone enjoyed their stay.
