About this property

Cottage in peaceful Borders village close to Kelso with nearby walking routes

Old Dairy Cottage is a one bedroom holiday let situated in the picturesque conservation village of Morebattle. Suitable for couples and small family groups, this inviting cottage makes a great destination for a relaxing break in the beautiful Borders countryside.

Set in a tranquil traditional village with a backdrop of the rolling Cheviot foothills, the cottage provides comfortable self-catering accommodation for up to 3 adults. Old Dairy Cottage is one of two adjoining holiday apartments which were converted from original outbuildings of a former dairy farm.

The upstairs space features an en suite bedroom with double and single beds. Downstairs is a bright, spacious sitting room with dining area, a well equipped kitchen and a shower room. A patio with views of the surrounding hills is easily accessed from the sitting room. Bedding for a sofa bed is provided upon request.

Visitors to Morebattle can expect an idyllic country setting and village amenities, while also being within easy reach of the historic market towns of Kelso and Jedburgh. The village is directly on the St. Cuthbert's Way walking route and is well located as a base for cycling, hillwalking or exploring the heritage sites and scenic attractions of the Borders and Northumberland.

The cottage is only steps away from the village inn, the Templehall Hotel, where evening meals and cask ales can be enjoyed (seasonal opening times may vary). A well stocked and community run village shop is just up the street.

Free wi-fi is accessible throughout. Private car parking is provided to the rear of the property. Dogs are welcome subject to a small surcharge.

Fantastic location and property
The property is a lot bigger than the photos portray. Very spacious. There were also two single beds as well as a double in the area upstairs. Very tranquil surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cosy Cottage
Overall the cottage was as described. Cosy in winter too. Good place to stay to explore the area. Dog friendly too with an enclosed field behind the cottage to let pooch run around in.

Great location
Perfect property for our dog. No enclosed garden but easy access to an enclosed field for dog walkers. Cottage was very comfortable but for me it would have been better if there had been a dishwasher instead of a washing machine which is why I deducted a star.
