From the owner

Thairn cottage at Burnbrae Holidays is ideally located in the heart of the Scottish Borders, quiet and peaceful yet only 3 miles from the historical town of Kelso with its majestic abbey, delicious restaurants, large cobbled square. Thairn Cottage has private, south-facing conservatory and patio overlooking, the cottage garden with views to Cheviot Hills. Log burning stove. Free super-fast Wi-Fi throughout your cottage.

Thairn Cottage is all on one level, light and airy with plenty of space, (ideal for 2, extra bed available, please ask,) and generously equipped for 1, 2 or 3. There is room in the bedroom for an extra bed or travel cot. Or the extra bed can be in the large living room.

Thairn Cottage has one bedroom with an extra-long king-size bed. There is central heating throughout & log burner in the living room. All of the rooms are on the same level, with level access from the large, private car park. Cars can approach close to the main entrance of Thairn cottage for loading.

Relax in your private south-facing conservatory, or on a recliner on the patio, watching the wildlife, admire the garden, walk-in our fields and along the riverside, or snuggle up in front of your cosy log-burning stove.

Thairn Cottage has a light & airy living room with plenty of space for comfortable seating and also dining. The separate kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, fridge freezer, hob, microwave oven and conventional oven and grill. The bathroom has a bath and a separate shower. On-site there is a lockable cycle shed that can also store your golfing or fishing equipment and a separate laundry with a washing machine and tumble drier for the use of guests. Each cottage has a heated drying cupboard. We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our 3 cottages.

Thairn Cottage is located within 50 minutes drive of Edinburgh, from the east coast beaches with superb coastal scenery, Border towns, Cheviot and Ettrick hills. Ideal for visiting the many abbeys, gardens and stately homes which are found nearby (Floors Castle and Mellerstain House are just a few minutes away). Thairn Cottage is only 3 miles from Kelso with its splendid square, majestic abbey ruins, racecourse, individual shops, and a wide selection of places to eat.

The quiet country roads are a joy for motorists and cyclists alike. More adventurous mountain bikers can test their nerves on the Glentress trails. For the less daring, the Borders offers a wide variety of golf courses, fishing, horse-riding, (riding stables next door), walking - from strenuous hikes up the Cheviot to peaceful strolls amongst the splendid Borders scenery - or admiring the textiles, pottery, woodwork and paintings on show in the numerous studios and galleries to be found within the area.....and you can return to relax in the peace of Burnbrae.
