3 one bedroom spacious, peaceful, rural, self catering cottages 3 miles from Kelso, in Scottish Borders. All on 1 level. Wood burning stove. conservatory.
(10)

Eco friendly. At Burnbrae holidays we have 3 self catering holiday cottages in the Scottish Borders. Imagine yourself in the beautiful Scottish Borders, watching the birds at our well-stocked feeders as you enjoy breakfast in your private south-facing conservatory, or have a leisurely lunch taking in the magnificent views across the cottage garden down to the river and out to the Cheviot Hills. Ma

ke this dream a reality at Burnbrae, in one of our four-star cottages. Burnbrae is named for our stream – or 'burn' in Scots – which runs down the hill our cottages sit on – the 'brae'. This fabulous hill-top location gives magnificent views out from the rear of the cottages over our fields to the Cheviot Hills, and the ever-changing 'big skies' of the Scottish Borders. At the front of the cottages there's the convenience of an adjacent level, private car park and step-free access to the front door of each cottage. In fact, guests with mobility issues can drive right up to the front door of their cottage to unload, should they wish to, and will appreciate the bonus that all rooms in each cottage are on one level, with no stairs. There are all types of walks around Burnbrae, ranging from the easy to the more challenging. You can follow the burn down into 10 hectares of pasture directly accessible from the cottages, great for dog walking, or wander along the riverside path at the bottom of the brae. Share with us the peace and quiet of Burnbrae. If you enjoy long-distance walking, we are close to parts of the The Border Abbeys Way, St Cuthbert's Way and The Southern Upland Way. In fact, there are around 1500 miles of waymarked paths in the Scottish Borders. Or how about walking the cliff tops along our short but glorious coastline? The fishing town of Eyemouth and the divers' paradise of St Abbs are around 40 minutes' drive from Burnbrae. Each self-catering cottage is generously equipped for 2-4 guests, sleeping in the double bedroom and on the sofa bed in the spacious lounge. In the bedroom, the double bed can be set as twin beds if required – just ask when booking. This gives you the flexibility to plan a peaceful retreat for 2, a well-earned holiday for a family, or a break with friends. Each cottage is light and airy with plenty of space. There is full central heating throughout, with the bonus of a log-burning stove in each living room (logs provided) for guests to relax and mull over the day's events. From the dining area of the living room there is direct, level access to a south-facing conservatory with splendid views across the secluded garden, down to the river and out towards the border between Scotland and England, which is only 6 miles away. There is also a patio for each cottage in the garden. All cottages have a well-equipped kitchen and a bathroom with both a shower and a bath for guests' comfort and convenience. There is free Wi-Fi, a mini hi-fi with iPod dock, TV with Freeview and a DVD player in every cottage too. We live on site and are pleased to help guests with information on local shopping, activities, and walks. Dogs are welcome (2 max), but only in Begrum cottage. Mungo's Well and Thairn cottages are pet-free.

This week, I've enjoyed a delightful cycle to Earlston via Redpath and Mellerstain. It's wonderful to ride along the quiet Border roads, taking in the stunning views. There are plenty of delicious cafes in the charming town of Earlston to enjoy.

I've printed the route and placed a copy in the information folder in each of our 3 cottages at Burnbrae Holidays. You can also download the route to your phone from Strava or the OS Map App.
We have bought some tools for you to use if you need to and tidied up the secure bike storage shed to make room for more bikes as more guests are bringing bikes.
Happy cycling!

A review left on Trip Advisor from a recent guest to Thairn cottage at Burnbrae Holidays

Excellent base for walkers & cyclists

Our third visit to Burnbrae and as on previous occasions the accommodation was excellent, immaculate presentation, everything you could possibly need, including a lovely welcome tray with homemade baking. An ideal location for anyone staying in the Scottish Boarders either to relax or to enjoy the great walking and cycling opportunities the area has to offer Yvette is a first class host, nothing is too much trouble and is able to provide lots of information on the area.

Fraser and I have done a wee bit of spring cleaning over the weekend. We know some folks aren’t keen on too much change so here is a bit of what we’ve done. After we iron out teething problems we think this layout will work better. Regular customers have all been considered, and we’ve still the same number of seats. Tables will be pushed together to accommodate larger groups. We’ve recovered some chairs that have been in storage for a few years, and popped new table tops on bases we’ve had for almost 30 years. Quite chuffed to have given some old furniture a fresh start 🙌😀. Time to hang up my paintbrushes for the evening so we can snooze before we start baking in the morning. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Kx

From my conservatory at Burnbrae Holidays. We have been watching 3 juvenile woodpeckers learning to feed from our peanuts.

Along the Eden Water, from Burnbrae Holiday cottages. Taken by Dan yesterday

Our bees very excited to be out in the sunshine. #burnbraeholidays #southofscotland #scottishholidaycottages #beesofinstagram #scotlandstartshere #selfcateringcottage

A beautiful sunny day for messing about on the water at St Mary's loch in Scottish Borders. #scottishborders #kayakingfun #scotlandstartshere #funinthesun #burnbraeholidays #thingstodoinscottishborders

Aren't snowdrops amazing?😮 These have had a week under fast-flowing water, then a week under the deep snow, followed by 2 days under fast-flowing water. !! and they are still beautiful. This was taken again from our fields of the Eden Water.
