There is more ‘serious' fishing available on the Teviot and the renowned middle Tweed beats all of which are within a ten minute drive of the cottage.

Perfect getaway

This cottage is delightful. Perfect location, well kept and everything you could wish for. Owners have thought of everything. Photographs don't do it justice. We are cyclists and this area offers a great choice of rides- good roads and thoughtful drivers. Loved our stay and will definitely book again.
