THE WHEEL HOUSE - a pretty cottage close to Kelso, ideal for sightseeing
With the Cheviot Hills in one direction and the three peaks of the Eildon Hills in the other, the Wheel House will be a joy for those looking to take advantage of its picturesque setting and superb sightseeing opportunities.
Pretty cottage with a contemporary twist
On the ground floor, this pretty cottage has been given a contemporary twist with warm neutrals punctuated by fabrics and throws in soothing blues to bring a timeless calm to your holiday stay. French doors open out to a large open garden where you can watch the wanderings of inquisitive wildlife and listen to the gentle twitter of birdsong.
The kitchen has some lovely rustic touches enhanced by fresh tickings and country inspired finishes. A generous dining space seats 8 comfortably. Since the cottage can be let in conjunction with adjoining Mill Cottage, this is a versatile space to get everyone round the table for cosy evening dining and plenty of convivial chat.
The cottage benefits from two en-suite bedrooms - one king size and one twin, both immaculately presented with crisp linens and fresh detailing.
For families, the addition of a separate games room with table tennis and table football will keep all members of the party entertained, particularly on evenings and those wet weather days.
