This property is sublime! Snuggled in a peaceful corner of the picturesque village of Kirk Yetholm within the beautiful Scottish Borders, The Stables has been newly renovated and totally refurbished to provide an idyllic hideaway for couples. The cottage is deceptively spacious with much care and attention to detail given to provide accommodation of a superior standard. The open plan lounge/dining area is large yet kept cosy with a fabulous wood burning stove, ensuring a warm welcome awaits guests regardless of the season. Full size glass doors floods the room with light, maximising its bright and airy ambience and lead to a private, enclosed garden area; perfect for a spot of alfresco dining. The contemporary kitchen area is well equipped and the luxurious bathroom has a modern bath large enough to share.... A spiral staircase leads to the bedroom with a view toward the church, and the convenience of an additional cloakroom. A second relaxing living area leads onto a roof top terrace overlooking the church yard with stunning views towards the hills beyond.

Yetholm actually consists of two villages - Kirk Yetholm and Town Yetholm - straddling the River Bowmont and nestled at the foot of the Cheviot Hills. This location is unique being only one mile from the England/Scotland border: the word Yetholm derives from the old Scots tongue - the word 'Yett' being a gateway or entrance and the word 'Holm' being a small park or field, Yetholm and the surrounding area are steeped in the Borders folklore and tradition. Being situated so close to what was once a fiercely disputed national border line, it was often used as a refuge for those fleeing from one country to the other. In the hills above the village a 'Common Gate' still exists where you can literally step through England to Scotland and back. This disputed land was particularly suited to travellers and Kirk Yetholm itself was the site of the crowning of the last gypsy King and Queen - Charles and Esther Faa Blythe.

The picturesque market town of Kelso, with its quaint cobbled streets, offers a wide arrange of facilities including a cinema, indoor swimming, a pottery and an ice rink along with many shops, pubs and tea rooms only 8 miles away. Golfers will delight in the prestigious Roxburgh course and Springwood Park showground plays host to many international horse riding events throughout the year. Walkers and cyclists will absorb the wild and lonely beauty along the many miles of bridleways and foot paths - the challenging route of 'St Cuthbert's Way' passes close by. The salmon rich River Tweed offers good fishing opportunities and Floors Castle (the family seat for the Duke of Roxburgh) is softly illuminated at night. The border town of Jedburgh, renowned for its woollen mill and where the Castle Jail and Museum along with Mary Queen of Scots house are all interesting visitor attractions 15 miles west.

The Stables offers the quintessential rural hide away for couples seeking stylish accommodation surrounded by stunning rural scenery and offers an excellent base to explore both the many historic border 'toons' across Southern Scotland as well as North Northumberland too.
